Speech before the the European Parliament, 22 June 2010
Tale i EU-parlamentet 22. juni 2010
Members of the European Parliament
Kjære parlamentarikere!
Thank you for inviting me to this dialogue.
Takk for invitasjonen til denne dialogen.
I regularly meet with Norwegian parliamentarians, but this invitation gives me a unique opportunity to talk directly to you here in Brussels, the capital of Europe.
Jeg møter jevnlig norske parlamentarikere, men denne invitasjonen gir meg en unik mulighet til å snakke direkte til dere her i Brussel – Europas hovedstad.
It took a while before I was finally able to make it, but I have been looking forward to this meeting.
Det tok litt tid før jeg endelig kunne komme, men jeg har sett fram til dette møtet.
It will be of great interest to me to hear the reactions and comments of the members of the Fisheries Committee.
Det skal bli spennende å høre reaksjoner og kommentarer fra fiskerikomiteens medlemmer!
Although I was appointed Norwegian Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs in October 2009, I have been involved with fisheries and aquaculture policies for most of my adult life.
Jeg tiltrådte som norsk fiskeri- og kystminister i oktober i fjor, men har vært engasjert i havbruks- og fiskeripolitikk det meste av mitt voksne liv.
I live on the coast and my experience is from fish farming.
Jeg lever ved kysten, min erfaring er fra oppdrettsnæringa.
During the last two decades, I have been a representative of private enterprises, as well as a political advisor and State Secretary of the goverment.
I løpet av de to siste ti-årene har jeg vært næringspolitiker, politisk rådgiver og statssekretær.
As appointed Minister, I now have the authority and means to take political measures to strengthen the maritime industries.
Som fiskeri- og kystminister har jeg nå fått myndighet og mulighet til å ta politiske grep for å styrke de marine næringene.
At home, not far away from the Arctic Circle, there is great potential in marine resources.
På min hjemplass, like ved Polarsirkelen, ligger det store muligheter i ressursene fra havet.
We make our living from fishing, fish farming and other maritime industries.
Vi lever av fiske, havbruk og andre marine næringer.
In my home municipality, there are just 1,594 inhabitants spread across 1,250 km2.
I min kommune er det bare 1594 innbyggere fordelt på 1250 km2.
Every new job is therefore welcome and means that we can continue to develop and live along the coast.
Enhver ny arbeidsplass er derfor velkommen og gjør at vi kan fortsette å bygge og bo langs kysten.
There are many coastal communities, large and small, both in Norway and in the EU Member States, that depend entirely on the resources of the sea.
Det er mange små og store kystsamfunn både i Norge og i EUs medlemsland som er helt avhengige av havets ressurser.
In this respect, we face a common challenge.
Her har vi en felles utfordring.
As representatives of the European fisheries and aquaculture policy community, you contribute actively to focused EU decisions in this area.
Som representanter for det fiskeri- og havbrukspolitiske Europa bidrar dere aktivt til målretta beslutninger i EU på dette området.
Seen from my point of vantage it is very apparent that Norway and the EU, however large our differences may be, are closely interlinked in most areas.
Fra mitt ståsted er det svært tydelig hvordan vi i Norge og EU, selv om forskjellene kan være store, er tett sammenvevd på de fleste områdene.
For this reason, I am especially pleased to be gathered with you today.
Derfor er jeg spesielt glad for å kunne møte dere i dag.
Like all other industries, the seafood industry depends on stable framework conditions, such that companies can operate profitably within predictable parameters.
Sjømatnæringa er, som alle andre næringer, avhengige av stabile rammevilkår, slik at bedriftene kan drive lønnsomt innenfor forutsigbare rammer.
We therefore need cater for a modern, forward-looking and profitable fishing fleet.
Vi må derfor sørge for en moderne, framtidsretta og lønnsom fiskeflåte.
At the same time, wild capture fisheries and fish farming must be sustainable.
Samtidig som både fiskeriene og havbruket må drives bærekraftig.
We have to to manage the resources properly, to ensure a sound basis for value creation and production of high-quality seafood.
Vi må forvalte ressursene på riktig måte, slik at vi får et solid fundament for verdiskaping og produksjon av sjømat av god kvalitet.
I would like to talk a little more about seafood.
Jeg har lyst til å snakke litt mer om sjømat.
Because seafood is, first and foremost, food of high value, as you well know, coming from the world’s largest market for seafood.
For sjømat er jo først og fremst verdifull mat – det vet jo dere som lever i verdens største sjømatmarked.
We all want healthy and safe food, and, not least, appetising food.
Vi er alle opptatt av sunn og trygg mat, og ikke minst – mat som smaker godt.
Seafood is a marvellous source of important nutrients.
Sjømat er en fantastisk kilde til viktige næringsstoffer.
Everybody knows that eating fish is good for your health.
Alle som sitter her vet at det er bra for helsa å spise fisk.
There is ample research and dietary advice to support this.
Dette støttes som kjent av både forskning og kostholdsråd.
As trade in fish and other seafood increases, we also need to deal decisively with new challenges .
Samtidig som handelen med fisk og annen sjømat øker, må vi ta på alvor de nye utfordringene som følger med.
Until fairly recently there were calls for almost unlimited growth in aquaculture.
Det er ikke lenge siden vi snakket om vekst i havbruksnæringen for nesten enhver pris.
But food also needs to be produced sustainably, and this poses a number of serious challenges.
Men maten også skal være bærekraftig produsert, og det stiller store krav til oss.
We don’t want production to have an unacceptable footprint on nature.
Produksjonen skal ikke sette uakseptable avtrykk i naturen.
And we need to define the limits for what is acceptable.
Vi må definere grensene for hva som er akseptabelt.
Consumers today are increasingly concerned about whether the fish on their plates have come from sustainable fisheries.
Dagens konsumenter er i økende grad opptatt av hvorvidt fisken de skal ha til middag kommer fra bærekraftige fiskerier.
They are concerned about how the fish is caught and how the resulting products are transported, packed and labelled.
De er opptatt av hvordan fisken blir fanget, og hvordan produktene blir transportert, pakket og merket.
The demand for eco-labelled fish is increasing.
Kravene til å levere fisk som er miljømerket øker.
This presents us with a number of new challenges and opportunities.
Det stiller oss overfor en rekke nye utfordringer og muligheter.
Surely, it cannot be up to pressure groups alone to decide this?
For det kan da ikke være slik at det er pressgrupper som skal bestemme dette aleine?
The interests of the consumers must be protected, and this can best be done in the international forums that deal with such matters.
Det er konsum-entenes interesser som må sikres, og det kan vi få til i de internasjonale fora som behandler slike spørsmål.
In sum, we need to ensure that the trade in seafood contributes to promoting sustainability and environmental objectives.
Kort sagt, vi må sikre at sjømathandelen bidrar til å fremme bærekraft og miljømålsettinger.
We also need to be ready to take a critical look at the seafood industry’s energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Vi må også være åpne for kritiske blikk på sjømatnæringas energibruk og bidrag til klimautslipp.
We must take political responsibility for promoting climate-friendly food production and trade.
Vi må ta politisk ansvar for å fremme klimavennlig matproduksjon og handel.
We need to look afresh at our trading systems, and ask whether the current trade policy regimes contribute to a pattern of trade that minimises carbon footprints.
Dette kan også bety at vi må se med nye øyne på våre handelssystemer, og kritisk stille spørsmålet om dagens handelspolitiske regimer bidrar til et handelsmønster som minimerer karbonavtrykkene.
Production growth – whether on land or at sea – must be within safe environmental limits.
Veksten i produksjonen – enten det er til lands eller til vanns - må skje innenfor rammen av hva miljøet tåler.
An environmentally sustainable production is therefore a prerequisite for long-term growth and development in fish farming.
En miljømessig bærekraftig produksjon er derfor en forutsetning for langsiktig utvikling og vekst i fiskeoppdrett.
Recognition of this fact is also being reflected more explicitly in EU and Norwegian aquaculture policies.
Denne erkjennelsen ser vi stadig tydeligere blir reflektert også i EUs og Norges oppdrettspolitikk.
Last year , the Norwegian Government presented its strategy for an environmentally sustainable aquaculture industry.
Den norske regjeringa la for ett år siden fram en strategi for en miljømessig bærekraftig havbruksnæring.
Key questions include: • How to ensure a further reduction in escapes from fish farms?
Aktuelle spørsmål er: • Hvordan sikre ytterligere reduksjon av rømming av oppdrettsfisk?
• What is an acceptable level of intermixture of farmed and wild salmon in the rivers where wild salmon spawns?
• Hva er akseptabel innblanding av oppdrettsfisk i villakselvene?
• How to combat salmon parasites/lice without impacting unfavourably on the environment?
• Hvordan skal vi bekjempe lakseparasitter/lakselus uten at det går på bekostning av miljøet?
• How can we ensure that fish feed used in aquaculture is only taken from fish stocks that are sustainably managed?
• Hvordan kan vi sikre at det fiskefôret som brukes i oppdrett stammer fra fiskebestander som er bærekraftig forvaltet?
These are important questions that requires careful attention and considerable effort.
Dette er viktige problemstillinger, og vil kreve mye oppmerksomhet og innsats.
I hope we can discuss these issues, and cooperate to find viable solutions at an international level.
Jeg håper vi kan diskutere disse sakene, og samarbeide for å finne gode løsninger internasjonalt.
We ship safe, high-quality and nutritious food to consumers in around 150 countries worldwide.
Vi sender trygg, god og næringsrik mat til forbrukere i rundt regna 150 land rundt omkring i verden.
Globally, 29 million meals that originate from the Norwegian seafood industry are eaten every single day.
Hver eneste dag spises det globalt 29 millioner måltider som kommer fra norsk sjømatindustri.
Much of this output goes to our primary market, the EU.
Mye av dette går til vårt hovedmarked – EU.
Every month, around 2,000 semi-trailer truckloads of fish are destined to go to EU countries.
Hver måned går det noe i overkant av 2000 vogntog med fisk til EU-landa.
Annually, this amounts to around 600,000 tonnes of salmon and about the same quantity of wild-caught fish.
På årsbasis er det snakk om omtrent 600.000 tonn med laks og om lag 600.000 tonn villfanget fisk.
Around 60 per cent of our seafood exports by value go to the EU.
Om lag 60 prosent av vår sjømateksport målt i verdi går til EU.
So how can it be that we are able to export all this seafood?
Og hvordan har det seg at vi kan eksportere så mye sjømat?
