Norway's statement at the Mine Ban Convention second Review Conference
Norges hovedinnlegg under minekonvensjonens andre tilsynskonferanse
Norway aligns itself with EU sanctions against Iran
Norge slutter seg til EUs sanksjoner mot Iran
Norway has decided to align itself with the EU’s further sanctions against Iran.
Norge vil slutte seg til EUs utvidede sanksjoner mot Iran.
“The decision is an expression of Norway’s support for the efforts of the international community to engage Iran in a binding dialogue on its nuclear programme,” State Secretary Gry Larsen commented.
- Beslutningen demonstrerer Norges støtte til det internasjonale samfunnets innsats for å engasjere Iran i en forpliktende dialog om landets atomprogram, sier statssekretær Gry Larsen.
“Norway, like the rest of the world, is concerned about the nature of Iran’s nuclear programme.
- Norge, i likhet med verden for øvrig, er bekymret for utviklingen av Irans atomprogram.
Since the EU has adopted tougher sanctions on the basis of this in order to exert pressure on Iran to cooperate, it is natural for Norway to support this approach,” Ms Larsen said.
Når EU på denne bakgrunn vedtar skjerpede sanksjoner for å legge press på Iran til å samarbeide, er det naturlig for Norge å støtte opp om dette, sier statssekretær Gry Larsen.
On 26 July, the EU Foreign Affairs Council adopted a new package of restrictive measures against Iranian sectors.
EU Utenriksråd vedtok 26. juli å innføre nye begrensninger på samhandlingen med Iran.
The measures cover sectors such as trade, financial services, transport and energy.
Tiltakene omfatter sektorer som handel, finansielle tjenester, transport og energi.
The tougher sanctions are intended to exert pressure on the Iranian authorities, not on the population of Iran.
De skjerpede sanksjonene er utformet med tanke på å utøve press på iranske myndigheter, ikke den iranske befolkningen.
There is therefore reason to assume that the new sanctions will only have a limited effect on the Norwegian private sector.
Det er derfor grunn til å anta at konsekvensene for norsk næringsliv av de nye sanksjonene vil bli begrensede.
“Like all other countries that are party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Iran has the right to develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes.
- Iran har som alle andre land som er tilsluttet Den kjernefysiske ikke-spredningsavtalen (NPT) rett til å utvikle kjernekraft for fredelige formål.
In order to be able to do this, however, the country must show transparency, cooperate fully with the IAEA and comply with the requirements of the UN Security Council,” Ms Larsen said.
For å kunne gjøre dette må imidlertid Iran vise åpenhet, samarbeide fullt ut med IAEA og etterleve de krav som er stilt av FNs Sikkerhetsråd, sier statssekretær Larsen.
"We cannot afford to fail“
Stoltenberg: Vi har ikke råd til å feile
“The world needs a climate agreement more than ever.
- Verden trenger en global klimaavtale mer enn noen gang.
In his statement Mr Stoltenberg warned that the situation is now developing in the wrong direction.
I innlegget advarte Stoltenberg mot at utviklingen går i feil retning.
Emissions are higher than ever, and are increasing rapidly.
Utslippene er større enn noen gang, og øker raskt.
“We cannot afford to fail in our efforts to reach a global climate agreement”, he said.
- Vi har ikke råd til å feile i arbeidet med å få på plass en global klimaavtale.
Mr Stoltenberg underlined that there are positive signs.
Samtidig understreket han at det skjer positive ting.
A number of countries are now carrying out national climate efforts.
Mange land gjennomfører egne klimatiltak.
Australia has introduced a carbon tax, China is testing emission trading systems and Brazil is reducing deforestation.
Australia har innført karbonskatt, Kina tester ut kvotehandel og Brasil reduserer avskogingen.
“But the global climate challenge can only be met if all major emission countries commit themselves to binding reductions”, Stoltenberg said.
- Men den globale klimautfordringen kan bare løses ved at alle de store utslippslandene forplikter seg til bindende utslippsreduksjoner, sa Stoltenberg.
The climate change negotiations in Durban have been going on since 28 November.
Klimaforhandlingene i Durban har pågått siden mandag 28. november.
There are major disagreements and tensions during these last days of the Convention.
Motsetningene er store og stemningen spent nå under møtets siste dager.
The fund is one of the central topics in the on-going negotiations.
Dette er et av de mest sentrale spørsmålene i forhandlingene.
“A good system for financing efforts to address climate change is necessary in order to create trust between developed and developing countries, said Mr Stoltenberg.
- Et godt system for klimafinansiering er nødvendig for å skape tillit mellom i-land og u-land i forhandlingene, sier Jens Stoltenberg.

I look forward to cooperate closely with the new US president and his administration”, says Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Jeg ser fram til et godt og nært samarbeid med USAs nye president og hans administrasjon, sier statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
The election campaign has engaged many US citizens and the outcome is of major importance to the entire world.
Valget av amerikansk president har engasjert mange og har stor betydning for hele verden.
”He has worked to unify people in order to tackle the major challenges that the USA is facing.
– Han har lagt vekt på å være samlende for å møte de store utfordringene USA står overfor.
It has been an exiting campaign with an impressive mobilisation of new voters.
Det har vært en spennende valgkamp med en imponerende mobilisering av nye velgere.
Both parties should be proud of the job they have done to make people use their right to vote”, Stoltenberg says.
Begge sider kan være stolte av den jobben som er gjort for å få folk til å bruke stemmeretten, sier Stoltenberg.
“The USA is our major ally, and the links between our countries are strong.
- USA er vår viktigste allierte, og det er sterke bånd mellom våre to land.
Our cooperation is based on common values and interests.
Samarbeidet er basert på felles verdier og felles interesser.
NATO is vital to our security, and we still need a close transatlantic cooperation.
NATO er viktig for vår felles sikkerhet, og vi trenger fortsatt et nært og godt transatlantisk samarbeid.
One example is the major challenges we are facing in Afghanistan”, the Prime Minister says.
De store utfordringene vi står overfor i Afghanistan, er eksempel på det, sier statsministeren.
”We expect the USA to take the international lead in important issues, on the basis of dialogue and cooperation.
- Vi har forventninger om at USA tar internasjonalt lederskap i viktige saker, basert på dialog og samarbeid.
In order to handle the major global challenges facing us, we need joint solutions.
For å møte de store globale utfordringene vi står overfor, trenger vi samlende løsninger.
