Norway supports UN resolution on Libya
Norge støtter FN-vedtak om Libya
Minister of Defence Grete Faremo commented: "NATO has already started planning, and we must determine what resources NATO needs in this connection and what Norway can contribute."
[...] vi må nå se hvilke ressurser NATO har behov for i denne sammenhengen og hva Norge kan bidra med, sier forsvarsminister Grete Faremo.
Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre commented: “The Security Council’s resolution on the use of force against Libya is historic, and demonstrates the UN’s ability to take action.
- Sikkerhetsrådets vedtak om bruk av makt mot Libya er historisk og viser et FN med handlekraft.
Norway supports the resolution.
Norge støtter vedtaket.
Late Thursday evening, the UN Security Council adopted a comprehensive resolution (UNSCR 1973) that authorises UN member states – and relevant organisations – to take “all necessary measures” to protect civilians in Libya.
FNs Sikkerhetsråd vedtok sent torsdag kveld en omfattende resolusjon (UNSCR 1973) som blant annet tillater FNs medlemsland - og relevante organisasjoner - å treffe ”alle nødvendige tiltak” for å beskytte sivile i Libya.
The resolution goes beyond the recent discussion on a “no-fly zone”.
Vedtaket går utover diskusjonen om en ”flyforbudssone” som har pågått den siste tiden.
“The Security Council has given the need to protect the civilian population as the ground for its decision.
- Sikkerhetsrådet begrunner sitt vedtak med behovet for å beskytte sivilbefolkningen.

Sikkerhetsrådet har nå valgt å treffe vedtak som autoriserer angrep mot bakkemål, sier Støre.
Norway will now, together with our allies, consider whether, and if so how, NATO could help to implement the UN resolution.
Norge vil nå sammen med våre allierte vurdere om og hvordan NATO eventuelt skal bidra til å følge opp FNs vedtak.
Future military action must be seen in conjunction with a number of other measures, such as economic sanctions, political measures, full isolation of the regime, investigation by the International Criminal Court and humanitarian assistance.
En kommende militær aksjon må sees i nær sammenheng med en rekke andre tiltak, som økonomiske sanksjoner, politiske tiltak, full isolasjon av regimet, etterforskning fra den internasjonale straffedomstolen, humanitær innsats.
“We cannot take for granted that swift military intervention will resolve Libya’s problems over night.
- Vi kan ikke ta for gitt at en rask militær intervensjon vil løse problemene i Libya over natten.
We must seek to avoid a situation where Libya becomes divided,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Vi bør søke å unngå at det nå oppstår en situasjon der Libya blir delt, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Norway supports the proposed introduction of a levy on currency transactions.
Norge støtter forslaget om innføring av en avgift på valutahandel.
“If we can bring together enough countries that are willing to introduce a levy on their currencies, this can become a reality,” said Mr Solheim.
- Hvis vi samler mange nok land som er villige til å innføre en avgift på sin valuta, kan dette gjennomføres, sier Solheim.
The proposed levy will be so small that there would be no dramatic change in the behaviour of the market.
En avgift vil være så liten at den ikke gir dramatiske adferdsendringer i markedet.
The level being discussed at present is a levy of 0.005% on international currency transactions.
Nå drøftes en avgift på 0,005 prosent av den internasjonale valutahandelen.

There are several reasons why we in Norway see a great potential for the future of renewable energy production offshore o There is a great energy potential in the Norwegian maritime zone. o Our electricity production is based on hydro power with large reservoirs, which are ideal to balance the intermittent wind power o We have more than 100 years of experience from hydro power, and 40 years of experience from our offshore petroleum industry.
