State Secretary Ingvild Næss Stub's speech at a seminar in Sofia, Bulgaria on 9 March 2015.
Statssekretær Ingvild Næss Stubs tale åpningsinnlegg på seminaret «Empowering Roma Women» som ble arrangert av ambassaden i Sofia i anledning kvinnedagen, mandag 9. mars.
At the same time, we see that Norway needs to engage in international cooperation to ensure fair competition, orderly working conditions and safe air traffic.
Vi ser samtidig at Norge må samarbeide internasjonalt for å få på plass rettferdig konkurranse, ryddige arbeidsforhold og sikker luftfart.
Efficient and safe aviation services are essential for business and Norway’s citizens.’
Et effektivt og trygt flytilbud er viktig for næringslivet og innbyggerne.
Ketil Solvik-Olsen, Minister of Transport and Communications, made the above statement in connection with the publication of the study of Norwegian aviation undertaken by the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
Dette sier samferdselsminister Ketil Solvik-Olsen i forbindelse med offentliggjøring av Samferdselsdepartementets utredning om norsk luftfart.
The aviation study will now be sent on a three-month consultation round, accompanied by a specification of the Immigration Regulations.
Luftfartsutredningen blir nå sendt på tre måneders høring sammen med en presisering i utlendingsforskriften.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications will also examine the opportunities for a closer collaboration between Norway and Denmark as well as other countries as relevant, with regard to monitoring of HES for flight personnel.
Samferdselsdepartementet vil også se nærmere på mulighetene for et tettere samarbeid mellom Norge og Danmark og eventuelle andre land når det gjelder gjennomføring av tilsyn med HMS for flygende personell.
International cooperation and harmonisation of regulations
Internasjonalt samarbeid og harmonisering av regelverk
In January 2014, Minister of Transport and Communications Ketil Solvik-Olsen sent a letter to the then EU Commissioner of Transport, Siim Kallas.
I januar 2014 sendte samferdselsminister Ketil Solvik-Olsen et brev til daværende transportkommissær i EU-kommisjonen, Siim Kallas.
With this initiative, Norway wished to challenge the EU Commission to engage in a discussion of issues raised by the globalisation of the aviation industry.
Norge ville med initiativet utfordre EU-kommisjonen på å ta opp diskusjonen som problemstillinger globalisering i luftfarten fører med seg.
The explanatory memorandum, which will now be sent on a consultation round, relates to these challenges.
Høringsnotatet, som nå sendes på høring, berører disse utfordringene.
‘We will continue to take initiatives in relation to the EU and our neighbouring countries in this area.
- Vi vil fortsette med å ta initiativ både overfor EU og overfor våre naboland på dette området.
Norway has a lot to contribute to the development of joint European regulations,’ says Minister of Transport and Communications Ketil Solvik-Olsen.
Norge har mye å bidra med i utviklingen av et felleseuropeisk regelverk, sier samferdselsminister Ketil Solvik-Olsen.

Specifies the Immigration Regulations
Presiserer utlendingsforskriften
The Legislation Department of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security has assessed the relationship between the Schengen Borders Code and the Immigration Regulations and has concluded that they conflict.
Lovavdelingen i Justis- og beredskapsdepartementet har vurdert forholdet mellom Schengens grenseforordning og utlendingsforskriften og konkluderer med at det er motstrid.
The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs therefore proposes to specify the Immigration Regulations to emphasise that Norway complies with her obligations under international law after the amendments to the Schengen Borders Code.
Arbeids- og sosialdepartementet foreslår derfor å presisere utlendingsforskriften for å tydeliggjøre at Norge følger sine folkerettslige forpliktelser etter grenseforordningen i Schengen-regelverket.
‘The specification makes clear that foreign flight personnel may exercise their right to simplified entry to Norway, irrespective of whether they are working on a Norwegian or a foreign aircraft.
- Presiseringen vil klargjøre at utenlandsk flypersonell får bruke sin rett til forenklet innreise i Norge uavhengig av om de arbeider på et norsk eller utenlandsk fly.
In practice, this will only give flight personnel the right to “stop over” at Oslo Airport Gardermoen and will be immaterial for domestic air travel,’ says Anniken Hauglie, Minister of Labour and Social Affairs.
Dette vil i praksis bare gi flypersonell rett til mellomlanding eller "stop over" på Gardermoen og vil ikke bety noe for flyreiser innenlands i Norge, sier arbeids- og sosialminister Anniken Hauglie.
The explanatory memorandum from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs shows that the Government’s specification of the regulation will concur with the actions already taken by other countries.
Arbeids- og sosialdepartementets høringsnotat viser at regjeringens presisering av regelverket vil være i samsvar med det andre land allerede gjør.
The specification is sent on a consultation round to obtain input, if any, to the wording of the regulations.
Presiseringen blir sendt på høring for å få eventuelle innspill til forskriftens formuleringer.
The deadline for the hearing has been set at seven weeks.
Det er satt en høringsfrist på 7 uker.
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA has warned of a possible lawsuit to clarify which set of regulations are applicable.
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA har varslet et mulig søksmål for å få avklart hvilket regelverk som gjelder.
This calls for a quick clarification.
Dette tilsier en rask klargjøring.
Which rights apply?
Hvilke rettigheter gjelder?
Aviation employee organisations have pointed out to the Ministry of Transport and Communications that flight personnel who move between different countries have difficulty in gaining an overview of their rights.
Ansatteorganisasjoner i luftfarten har overfor Samferdselsdepartementet pekt på at det er vanskelig for flygende personell, som flytter seg mellom flere land, å ha oversikt over sine rettigheter.
The explanatory memorandum from the Ministry of Transport and Communications therefore includes a review of legal issues related to labour conditions and social security.
Høringsnotat fra Samferdselsdepartementet inneholder derfor en gjennomgang av arbeids- og trygderettslige forhold.
A future for Norwegian aviation
En fremtid for norsk luftfart
’The Government will continue its competition-oriented aviation policy and strengthen the country’s aviation community.
- Regjeringen vil videreføre en konkurranseorientert luftfartspolitikk og styrke luftfartsmiljøet her i landet.
Much of this funding will be targeted at the 6.1 million displaced people in Syria and the 4.8 million Syrian refugees in the neighbouring countries.
Mye av innsatsen rettes mot 6,1 millioner mennesker som er på flukt i Syria og 4,8 millioner syriske flyktninger i nabolandene.
Food, medical assistance, shelter for the winter, and emergency aid to the areas under siege are the most urgent needs at the moment.
Mat, medisinsk hjelp, husly for vinteren, og krisehjelp til beleirede områder er de mest prekære behovene nå.
Syrian children and young people have been living through war for nearly six years.
Syriske barn og ungdom har nå levd i krig i nærmere seks år.
The Government proposes a reallocation of NOK 662 million in the aid budget for 2016, as fewer asylum seekers have come to Norway than originally expected, and the associated costs have been significantly lower.
Regjeringen foreslår å omfordele 662 millioner kroner fra bistandsbudsjettet for 2016, ettersom behovet for avsatte midler til flyktningtiltak i Norge ble mindre enn antatt.
In addition to the NOK 500 million for the Syria crisis, the Government proposes an allocation of NOK 162 million to other areas.
I tillegg til 500 millioner kroner til Syriakrisen, foreslår regjeringen å bruke 162 millioner kroner til andre innsatsområder.
This includes NOK 50 million for Uganda and Somalia, NOK 50 million to the World Bank’s multi-donor trust fund for Syria’s neighbouring countries and a new fund for water, NOK 20 million for UNAIDS, and NOK 15 billion for the UN Peacebuilding Fund
Blant annet 50 millioner kroner i bistand til Uganda og Somalia, 50 millioner kroner til Verdensbankens støttefond for Syrias naboland og til et nytt giverfond for vann, 20 millioner kroner til FNs aidsprogram og 15 millioner kroner til FNs fredsbyggingsfond.

En halv milliard kroner i humanitær støtte til Syriakrisen
‘The world’s greatest refugee crisis is unfolding in Syria and the neighbouring countries.
- Den største flyktningkatastrofen i verden utspiller seg i Syria og nabolandene.
The Government will step up its overall efforts in the north, to make North Norway one of our most innovative and sustainable regions,’ said Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
Regjeringen styrker den samlede innsatsen i nord for at Nord-Norge skal bli en av landets mest skapende og bærekraftige regioner, sier statsminister Erna Solberg.
It is also an important message in the Arctic strategy, which was presented in Bodø, in North Norway, today.
Dette er et viktig budskap i regjeringens nordområdestrategi som ble lagt frem i Bodø i dag.
‘The Arctic offers major opportunities for development that will be valuable for the whole country.
- Nordområdene gir store utviklingsmuligheter med betydning for hele landet.
Seafood, oil and gas, shipping and tourism are growth industries.
Sjømat, petroleum, skipsfart og reiseliv er næringer i vekst.
It is the people living in the north of Norway who know best how this potential can be realised.
Det er de som bor i nord som vet best hvordan dette potensialet utløses.
Our Arctic policy is therefore being developed in cooperation with businesses, institutions and local politicians in the north,’ said Ms Solberg.
Nordområdepolitikken utvikles derfor i samarbeid med næringsliv, institusjoner og folkevalgte i nord, sier statsminister Solberg.
The Arctic is Norway’s most important foreign policy priority.
Nordområdene er Norges viktigste utenrikspolitiske interesseområde.
