Capital flight from developing countries is about ten times greater than the development aid these countries receive.
Kapitalflukten tilsvarer rundt regnet ti ganger bistanden som gis til utviklingsland.
The report proposes a number of measures to reduce the adverse effects.
Rapporten foreslår en rekke tiltak for å redusere skadevirkningene.
The report is important, not least because the proposed measures could lead to a win-win situation for rich and poor countries alike,” said Mr Solheim.
Rapporten er viktig, ikke minst fordi den foreslår tiltak som kan gi en vinn-vinn-situasjon for både rike og fattige land, sier Solheim.
The commission has been chaired by Professor Guttorm Schjelderup, and Eva Joly has been among its members.
Utvalget har vært ledet av professor Guttorm Schjelderup, og har blant andre hatt Eva Joly som medlem.
Norway itself should also introduce a mechanism to control the activities of Norwegian nationals who register companies or open accounts in tax havens.
Norge bør også selv innføre kontroll av nordmenn som registrerer selskaper eller åpner kontoer i skatteparadis.
“Tax havens hamper growth in poor countries because they make it easier for the power elites to enrich themselves at the expense of society as a whole and undermine the establishment of effective tax systems in such countries,” said Professor Schjelderup.
- Skatteparadisene hindrer vekst i fattige land fordi de gjør det lettere for maktelitene å berike seg av fellesskapets verdier og undergraver etablering av effektive skattesystemer i slike land, sier utvalgsleder Schjelderup.
Norfund, the Norwegian Government’s investment fund for private sector development in developing countries, is discussed in great depth in the report.
Statens investeringsfond for næringsutvikling i utviklingsland (Norfund) får grundig omtale i rapporten.
It is proposed that the practice of channelling investment funds through tax havens should be discontinued over a three-year period.
Praksisen med å investere gjennom skatteparadis foreslås avviklet over en treårsperiode.
“We can’t allow Norfund to channel Norwegian aid funds through tax havens at the same time as we are trying to fight them,” said Mr Solheim.
- Vi kan ikke la Norfund investere norske bistandsmidler via skatteparadis samtidig som vi ønsker å bekjempe dem, sier Solheim.
The proposals made by the Commission on Capital Flight from Developing Countries include:
Andre forslag fra Kapitalfluktutvalget:
considering whether Norwegian multinational companies should be required to submit more detailed annual statements,
utrede muligheten for at norske flernasjonale selskap bør gi mer detaljerte årsregnskap
improving the rules for transfer pricing,

“Norway has worked systematically to bring about such a treaty.
– Norge har jobbet målrettet for å få på plass en slik avtale.
It is now crucial that as many countries as possible sign and ratify the treaty so that it enters into force as quickly as possible,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
Nå er det viktig at flest mulig land signerer og ratifiserer avtalen slik at den trer i kraft så snart som mulig, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
Norway will today be one of the first countries to sign the UN Arms Trade Treaty.
Som et av de første landene undertegner Norge i dag FN-avtalen om handel med konvensjonelle våpen.
State Secretary Gry Larsen is to sign the treaty on behalf of Norway, along with representatives from a number of other countries, at a signing ceremony at UN Headquarters in New York.
Statssekretær Gry Larsen undertegner avtalen på vegne av Norge sammen med flere andre land i en undertegningsseremoni i FNs hovedkvarter i New York.
The agreement will enter into force after 50 states have ratified it.
Avtalen trer i kraft etter at 50 land har ratifisert den.
The new treaty covers a wide range of conventional weapons, including ammunition and parts and components of conventional weapons.
Den nye avtalen omfatter et bredt spekter av konvensjonelle våpen, inkludert ammunisjon og deler og komponenter til slike våpen.
The treaty also includes important prohibitions and criteria relating to export licences, violations of international humanitarian law, international human rights, organised crime, terrorism in importing states and gender-based violence.
Avtalen inneholder også viktige forbud og kriterier knyttet til eksportlisenser, brudd på internasjonal humanitærrett, internasjonale menneskerettigheter, organisert kriminalitet, terrorisme i importstatene og kjønnsbasert vold.
It is crucial that the treaty gains global acceptance and that it sets a new international standard.
Det er viktig at avtalen får et globalt gjennomslag og at den setter en ny internasjonal standard.
In the years ahead, we will seek to strengthen the treaty, both in specific areas and by keeping it up to date as regards technological developments in the weapons field,” Mr Eide said.
I årene fremover vil vi arbeide for å styrke avtalen, både på enkeltområder og for å holde den oppdatert på den teknologiske utviklingen på våpenområdet, sier Eide.
Despite several rounds of negotiations, there are no coastal state agreements in place for 2014 neither for blue whiting nor for Norwegian spring spawning herring.
Til tross for flere forhandlingsrunder er det ikke inngått kyststatsavtaler for 2014 verken på kolmule eller norsk vårgytende sild.
Norway has been ready to conclude both agreements since last autumn.
Norge har vært rede til å inngå disse avtalene siden i fjor høst.
Russia, Iceland and the Faroe Islands have replied positively to the Norwegian proposal.
Russland, Island og Færøyene har svart positivt på det siste norske forslaget.
The agreements on blue whiting and Norwegian spring spawning herring both include bilateral agreements on zonal access.
Avtalene om kolmule og nvg-sild inkluderer begge bilaterale avtaler om soneadgang.
The blue whiting fisheries take place mainly early in the year, and more than half of the Norwegian quota has already been caught.
Kolmulefisket finner i hovedsak sted tidlig på året, og Norge har allerede fisket over halve kvoten.
It is therefore vital that an agreement for 2014 is concluded well before the fishing season is over.
Det er derfor av største viktighet at en avtale for 2014 inngås før fiskesesongen er over.

Norway will therefore step up its efforts to promote and protect human rights,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Norge vil derfor trappe opp innsatsen for å fremme og beskytte menneskerettighetene, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
A white paper on human rights in Norway’s foreign and development policy, the first on the subject for 15 years, was presented today.
For første gang på 15 år legges det i dag frem en stortingsmelding om menneskerettigheter i Norges utenriks- og utviklingspolitikk.
Failure to respect human rights is an infringement of the rights of the individual.
Manglende respekt for menneskerettighetene er en krenkelse av enkeltindividet.
This impedes social development and has negative consequences at local, national and international levels,’ said Mr Brende.
Det hindrer samfunnsutviklingen og har negative konsekvenser lokalt, nasjonalt og internasjonalt,
Individual freedom and public participation, the rule of law and legal protection, and equality and equal opportunities are fundamental principles for all societies.
Individets frihet og medbestemmelse, rettsstat og rettssikkerhet, og likeverd og like muligheter er grunnleggende for ethvert samfunn.
It is the responsibility of each and every state to protect human rights and prevent all forms of discrimination and violence, including against women, children, religious minorities, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities and sexual minorities.
Det er statenes ansvar å beskytte menneskerettighetene og forhindre alle former for diskriminering og vold, inkludert mot kvinner, barn, tros- og livssynsminoriteter, urfolk, personer med nedsatt funksjonsevne og seksuelle minoriteter.
‘In order to counteract deliberate attempts to undermine respect for human rights, we need to strengthen the multilateral mechanisms for protecting human rights.
- For å motvirke de krefter som aktivt undergraver menneskerettighetene, må vi styrke det multilaterale systemet for beskyttelse.
Reprisals against people and organisations who cooperate with the UN and other international organisations constitute serious violations of their rights and are unacceptable attacks on the institutions that the international community has built up and must defend,’ Mr Brende said.
Represalier mot dem som samarbeider med FN eller andre internasjonale organisasjoner er alvorlige rettighetsbrudd og utgjør uakseptable angrep på de institusjonene vi har bygget og som vi må stå opp for, understreker Brende.

We are actively supporting Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’sHuman Rights Up Frontinitiative.
Vi støtter aktivt Human Rights Up Front initiativet til generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon.
The Government will pursue a coherent policy for human rights, where efforts to promote and protect human rights are integrated into our work at global, regional and bilateral levels.
Regjeringen vil føre en samstemt politikk der arbeidet for å fremme og beskytte menneskerettighetene integreres i vårt internasjonale arbeid på globalt, regionalt og bilateralt nivå.
It is essential that efforts in different policy areas pull in the same direction and are mutually reinforcing.
Innsatsen på ulike politikkområder skal virke i samme retning og være gjensidig forsterkende.
Respect for human rights is not only a foreign policy goal, it is also a means of achieving lasting development and security throughout the world.
Respekt for menneskerettighetene er et utenrikspolitisk mål, men også et middel for å oppnå varig utvikling og sikkerhet i verden.
‘I would like to thank the nearly 40 organisations that have provided almost 400 comments and suggestions for this white paper.
- Jeg vil takke de nesten 40 organisasjonene som har spilt inn nærmere 400 forslag til denne stortingsmeldingen.
This demonstrates the strength of the Norwegian commitment to human rights.
Dette viser kraften i det norske engasjementet for menneskerettighetene.
I look forward to further cooperation in implementing the vision and priorities set out in this important document,’ said Mr Brende.
Jeg inviterer til videre samarbeid i gjennomføringen av denne viktige meldingen, sier utenriksministeren.

‘Human rights are under pressure internationally.
- Menneskerettighetene er under press internasjonalt.
'We are therefore increasing our humanitarian assistance to Yemen by NOK 25 million.
- Derfor øker vi støtten til Jemen med 25 millioner kroner.
The war in Yemen is hitting the civilian population hard, and there is a massive need for food and humanitarian aid,' said Mr Brende.
Det er enorme behov for mat og humanitær bistand, fremholder Brende
Schools, hospitals and vital infrastructure have been bombed and destroyed.
Skoler, sykehus og viktig infrastruktur er bombet og ødelagt.
According to UN figures, more than 14 million Yemeni people are in need of food aid, and 2 million are undernourished.
Tall fra FN viser at mer enn 14 millioner jemenitter trenger matbistand og at to millioner er underernærte.
Some 370 000 Yemeni children are suffering from severe and acute malnutrition.
370.000 jemenittiske barn lider av akutt og alvorlig underernæring.
'All sectors of the society are affected by the war and humanitarian crisis, but the food security situation is particularly critical.
- Alle deler av samfunnet er rammet av krigen og krisen, men matsikkerhetssituasjonen er særlig kritisk.
The UN has warned that Yemen is on the brink of famine,' said Mr Brende.
FN har advart om at krisen er i ferd med å utvikle seg til hungersnød, sier Brende.
In August, the UN launched a revised humanitarian response plan for Yemen.
FN lanserte i august en revidert nødhjelpsappell for Jemen.
The aim of the appeal is to provide humanitarian assistance to 12.6 million people.
Målet med appellen er å kunne gi 12,6 millioner mennesker humanitær assistanse.
'By the end of 2016, Norway will have contributed a total of NOK 85 million in humanitarian aid to Yemen.
- I løpet av 2016 vil Norge bidra med totalt 85 millioner kroner i humanitær bistand til Jemen.
Food security is one of the main priorities for Norway's assistance.
Matsikkerhet er en hovedprioritering for den norske støtten.
Norway increases humanitarian assistance to Yemen
- Norge øker støtten til Jemen
Norway is therefore increasing its humanitarian support to Yemen by NOK 10 million, and will continue to follow the situation closely,' said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Norge øker derfor den humanitære støtten til Jemen med ti millioner kroner og vil fortløpende vurdere utviklingen fremover, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The cholera outbreak has spread rapidly during the past week, with cases of the disease being registered in several parts of the country.
Koleraepidemien har spredd seg raskt den siste uken, med registrerte tilfeller i flere deler av landet.
This is the second cholera outbreak in Yemen in less than a year, and according to the UN the situation is critical.
Dette er det andre kolerautbruddet i Jemen på mindre enn ett år, og situasjonen er ifølge FN svært kritisk.
The number of people infected and the number of deaths have reached the same levels in the last two weeks alone as they did in the course of two months during the previous outbreak.
Bare i løpet av de siste to ukene har antall smittede og døde nådd samme høyder som i løpet av to måneder under forrige utbrudd.
'The lack of health services and clean drinking water means that the outbreak is now spreading at an alarming pace.
- Mangelfulle helsetjenester og mangel på rent drikkevann fører til at utbruddet nå sprer seg med alarmerende hastighet.
The capital Sanaa is most severely affected, but if action is not taken immediately to stop the spread of the disease, the outbreak could soon affect the whole country.
Hovedstaden Sanaa er hardest rammet, men dersom ikke snarlige tiltak settes inn for å stanse spredningen, kan dette utvikle seg til et landsdekkende utbrudd.
The impact of this would be catastrophic for the people of Yemen who are already suffering so much,' said Mr Brende.
Det vil få katastrofale følger for en allerede hardt rammet befolkning, sier Brende.
Norway's humanitarian assistance to Yemen is being channelled through the UN, the Red Cross – Red Crescent movement, and Norwegian humanitarian organisations working with local partners in Yemen.
Norges humanitære støtte til Jemen kanaliseres via FN, Røde Kors-bevegelsen og norske humanitære organisasjoner som samarbeider med lokale partnere i Jemen.
Norway is also providing support through the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (Cerf), which so far this year has disbursed over NOK 200 million to Yemen.
I tillegg bidrar Norge gjennom FNs nødhjelpsfond, Cerf, som hittil i år har utbetalt over 200 millioner kroner til Jemen.
Cerf receives around 10 % of its funds from Norway.
Norge bidrar med om lag ti prosent av midlene i nødhjelpsfondet.

'The cholera outbreak in Yemen comes on top of an armed conflict and famine that are affecting a large proportion of the population.

Permission is now given for up to five regional qualification tournaments and three types of tournament poker.
Det tillates inntil fem tilhørende regionale kvalifiseringsturneringer og tre former for turneringspoker.
- Up until today the Norwegian National Championship has been arranged abroad.
- Fram til i dag har poker-NM vært arrangert i utlandet.
In the future the championship may be held in Norway, says the Minister of Culture Thorhild Widvey.
I fremtiden vil dette mesterskapet kunne avholdes i Norge, sier kulturminister Thorhild Widvey.
Today many people play poker in social settings in private homes.
I dag er det mange som spiller poker i sosiale lag i private hjem.
Until now this has not been legal but the prohibition has been difficult to enforce.
Til nå har dette vært forbudt, men forbudet har vært vanskelig å håndheve.
As a result, the government proposes to legalize private poker teams.
Regjeringen foreslår derfor å tillate private pokerlag.
According to the new rules private poker teams may consist of up to 10 participants and the maximum contribution per participant is set to 1000 NOK.
Etter de nye reglene kan private pokerlag bestå av inntil 10 deltakere mens maksimumsinnskuddet per deltager er satt til 1000 kroner.
Such liberalization is in line with the general opinion of what law is or ought to be within this area of law.
En slik liberalisering er i tråd med den alminnelige rettsoppfatningen på dette området.
