One of the main reasons for deciding upon these three categories was according to the group the fact that they are used in EQF, and using these categories in the higher education framework as well facilitates the development of a possible future national qualifications framework for all learning.

Washington, D.C.: Minister of Defence Ine Eriksen Søreide today met the head of the US combat aircraft programme, Lieutenant General Bogdan.
Washington: Forsvarsminister Ine Eriksen Søreide møtte i dag sjefen for det amerikanske kampflyprogrammet, generalløytnant Bogdan.
“It is important for the programme to keep up the good progress and continue the work of preparing for receipt of the first aircraft in Europe,” the defence minister said after the meeting.
-Det er viktig at programmet opprettholder den gode fremdriften og fortsetter arbeidet med å forberede mottak av de første flyene i Europa, sier forsvarsministeren etter møtet.
Lt Gen Bogdan leads the multinational F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO).
Generalløytnant Bogdan leder det flernasjonale programkontoret for F-35, Joint Program Office (JPO).
I praised his solid leadership, because good headway has been achieved under his leadership,” says the defence minister.
Jeg berømmet hans gode lederskap, for det har vært god progresjon under hans ledelse, sier forsvarsministeren.
“At the same time, my message to Bogdan was that Norway is reliant on this good progress being maintained, and on the programme’s helping to establish a common support infrastructure for the F -35 in Europe,” says Eriksen Søreide.
-Samtidig var mitt budskap til Bogdan at Norge er avhengige av at denne gode fremdriften nå opprettholdes og at programmet bidrar til å etablere en felles infrastruktur for understøttelse for F-35 i Europa, sier Søreide.
Combat aircraft important for Norway
Kampfly viktig for Norge
During the meeting, the defence minister presented an update on the status of the Norwegian fighter aircraft procurement, and stressed that the investment in new aircraft will enhance our ability as an ally to contribute to the common defence and crisis management.
Under møtet ga forsvarsministeren en oppdatering om status i den norske kampflyanskaffelsen og understreket at investeringen i nye kampfly vil øke vår evne til å bidra som en alliert til felles forsvar og krisehåndtering.
“This is one of the most important elements of the continued modernisation of the entire defence sector, and it’s something I personally will follow very intently,” says Eriksen Søreide.
-Dette er et av de viktigste elementene i den videre moderniseringen av hele forsvarssektoren, og noe jeg personlig vil følge tett, sier Søreide.
To the JPO, Norway has emphasised the need to integrate both the aircraft’s drag parachute, which is essential for operations in Norway, and the Norwegian-developed Joint Strike Missile (JSM).
Norge har overfor JPO vektlagt behovet for å få integrert både flyets bremseskjerm, som er avgjørende for å kunne gjennomføre operasjoner i Norge, og det norskutviklede missilet JSM (Joint Strike Missile).
“Bogdan has supported Norway in this work, and he promised to continue to focus on this further.
-Bogdan har støttet Norge i dette arbeidet, og han lovet å fortsette å ha fokus på dette videre.
His efforts in these areas will be important in the time ahead as well,” says Eriksen Søreide.
Hans innsats på disse områdene vil være viktig også i tiden fremover, sier Søreide.
Meeting with Norwegians
"Norsk" møte
Norway contributes 10 people to the multinational F-35 programme.
Norge bidrar med ti personer i det flernasjonale F-35-programmet.
The main duty for two of them is to represent Norway and promote Norwegian interests.
To av disse har som hovedrolle å representere Norge og fremme norske interesser.
The others provide technical expertise to the programme.
De resterende skal bidra som fageksperter i programmet.
“You are at the heart of a programme that will help set the tone for Norwegian-American cooperation well into the future.
-Dere er i sentrum av et program som vil prege det norsk-amerikanske samarbeidet i lang tid fremover.
It makes the job you are doing here, as Norwegian representatives and as part of the programme, even more important,” says Eriksen Søreide.
Det gjør den jobben dere gjør her, både som norske representanter og som del av programmet enda viktigere, sier Søreide.
“You have an important role to play in keeping ‘a finger on the pulse’ of the programme for those of us at home in Norway, and providing insight we would not have had if we were sitting outside.
- Dere har en viktig rolle ved at dere holder "fingeren på pulsen" for oss hjemme i Norge, og gir oss en innsikt i programmet vi ikke hadde fått om vi satt på utsiden.
This is crucial when making investments so large and so essential as a new fighter aircraft capacity,” Eriksen Søreide concludes.
Dette er helt avgjørende når vi skal gjennomføre så store investeringer i en så sentral kapasitet som nye kampfly, avsluttet Søreide.
