Norway welcomes UN resolution on Darfur and plans to send troops
FNs sikkerhetsråd vedtar mandat for AU/FN-operasjon i Darfur
– We are very pleased that the Security Council unanimously has agreed on a peace operation in Darfur, says Norwegian Defence Minister Anne-Grete Strøm-Erichsen.
– Det er meget gledelig at Sikkerhetsrådet har fattet et enstemmig vedtak om en fredsoperasjon i Darfur, sier forsvarsminister Anne-Grete Strøm-Erichsen.
The crisis in Darfur has accurately been described as the worst humanitarian disaster the world is facing today.
Krisen i Darfur er med rette beskrevet som den største humanitære katastrofe verden står overfor i dag.
The troops will contribute to stabilising the security situation, protecting civilians and securing the supply of humanitarian assistance.

For this to occur, there has to be an end to all acts of violence, and all parties must commit themselves to a lasting ceasefire.
For å bidra til dette må alle voldshandlinger opphøre og partene må forplikte seg til en varig våpenhvile.
We will therefore continue to support the political processes, says Strøm-Erichsen.
Vi vil derfor videreføre vår støtte til den politiske prosessen, sier Strøm-Erichsen.
“Norway is particularly pleased that agreement was reached on a mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries.
- Norge er spesielt fornøyd med at det er enighet om en mekanisme for å redusere utslipp fra avskoging i utviklingsland.
This mechanism will provide important guidelines for cooperation under the REDD+ partnership, which was established at the Oslo Climate and Forest Conference in May this year.
Denne mekanismen vil gi viktige retningslinjer for skogsamarbeidet som ble etablert i Oslo i mai i år.
Agreement was also reached on the establishment of a green fund.

Norway welcomes maritime action plan
Ønsker maritim plan velkommen
Today the European Commission presented an action plan for the EU’s integrated maritime policy.
Europakommisjonen la onsdag fram en Tiltaksplan for Maritim Politikk.
Marine and maritime issues are of key importance to Norway.
Det maritime og marine område er av sentral betydning for Norge.
Today the European Commission presented an action plan for the EU’s integrated maritime policy.
Europakommisjonen la i dag fram en Tiltaksplan for Maritim Politikk.
“The EU and Norway have similar positions on maritime affairs, and we have followed the process leading up to the presentation of the action plan closely.
Vi har fulgt prosessen frem mot tiltaksplanen nøye.
Norway became involved at an early stage, and has provided input for the Commission.
Norge kom tidlig med i arbeidet og har bidratt med innspill til Kommisjonen.
We have the impression that this has been appreciated,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Det opplever vi at EU har verdsatt, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The EU’s action plan covers industries and jobs connected with the sea.
EUs tiltaksplan har sitt utgangspunkt i de næringer og arbeidsplasser som er knyttet til sjøen.
The aim is to ensure that these industries are able to compete in an environmentally sustainable way.
Målet er å sikre disse næringers konkurranseevne på en miljømessig bærekraftig måte.
Nearly half of the livelihoods and GDP in the EU have ties to the coastal regions.
Nær halvparten av EUs befolkning og BNP er knyttet til kystregionene.
The economic zones of the sea are larger than the land areas and may be extended.
De økonomiske sonene i havet er større enn landområdene og kan bli utvidet.
Maritime transport is the backbone of the globalised economy.
Sjøtransport er livsnerven i en globalisert økonomi.
Major European industries such as shipbuilding and shipping are under strong international pressure.
Ledende europeiske næringer som verftsindustri og skipsfart er under sterkt internasjonalt press.
At the same time, there are many new users that are increasing pressure on these coastal regions.
Samtidig er det mange nye brukere som øker presset på de nære kystområdene.
Today the EU has legislation covering many areas that are significant for maritime activities (such as fisheries, aquaculture, the environment, transport, maritime safety, oil production, research and innovation, and business policy), but it has not previously had an integrated maritime policy.
EU har i dag regelverk på mange områder som har stor betydning for maritime aktiviteter (fiskeri, akvakultur, miljø, transport, sjøsikkerhet, oljeutvinning, forskning/innovasjon, næringspolitikk m.v.), men det har ikke eksistert en overgripende maritim politikk.
One of the key features of the action plan is that it looks at existing policy areas in context, and seeks to create synergy effects between them.
Et av tiltaksplanenes sentrale elementer er at den ser eksisterende politikkområder i sammenheng, og forsøker å skape synergieffekter områdene i mellom.
Norway has been taking this approach to the management of its maritime areas for a long time.
Norge har lenge lagt en slik tilnærming til grunn for forvaltning av maritime områder.
The EU action plan includes 26 concrete recommended actions in these areas.
EUs tiltaksplan omfatter 26 konkrete tiltak på disse områdene.
The Government will study these recommendations closely and will submit its comments to the EU.
Regjeringen vil studere forslagene nøye og formidle synspunkter til EU.
“I see that the plan focuses strongly on knowledge, research and innovation.
- Jeg ser at man i EUs tiltaksplan satser sterkt på kunnskap, forskning og innovasjon.
We in Norway have considerable knowledge in the marine and maritime areas, and we would like to play a role in the formation of European and international policy in this field.
På det maritime og marine området har vi i Norge betydelig kunnskap og ønsker å være en deltaker i europeisk og internasjonal politikkutforming.
Many of the challenges we are facing cannot be resolved by individual countries or groups of countries alone.
Mange av de utfordringer vi står overfor kan ikke løses av enkeltland eller grupper av land alene.
They require broad international solutions,” said Mr Støre.
Det krever brede, internasjonale løsninger, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The Government attaches importance to the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, and is pleased that this is now on the EU agenda.
Regjeringen er opptatt av kampen mot ulovlig, uregulert og urapportert fiske, og synes det er gledelig at dette også er på dagsordenen i EU.
“I am pleased to note that the Commission proposes legislation that will facilitate seabed storage of CO2.
- Jeg noterer også med tilfredshet at kommisjonen vil foreslå regelverk som vil legge til rette for CO2 lagring under havbunnen.
This is something Norway is pushing hard for and this is an area where we can make an important contribution,” Mr Støre said.
Dette er noe Norge går sterkt inn for og hvor Norge kan yte et betydelig bidrag, sier Støre.
