The number of people seeking asylum in Norway has not been so low since 1997.
Så lave ankomsttall har det ikke vært siden 1997.
By the end of August last year, some 8 329 asylum applications had been registered.
Ved utgangen av august i fjor var det registrert 8329 asylsøknader.
Not since 1997 have so few people sought asylum in Norway,’ said Minister of Immigration and Integration Sylvi Listhaug (Progress Party).
Det har ikke kommet så få asylsøkere til Norge siden 1997, sier innvandrings- og integreringsminister Sylvi Listhaug (FrP).
In August this year, 281 asylum seekers came to Norway.
I august kom det 281 asylsøkere.
According to figures from the Directorate of Immigration (UDI), the figure for August has not been lower since 1997.
Ifølge tall fra Utlendingsdirektoratet (UDI), må man tilbake til 1997 før å finne lavere tall for august.
In August 1997, 199 asylum seekers were registered in Norway.
I august 1997 ble det registrert 199 asylsøkere.
The pattern is the same for the period January to August; between January and August 1997, 1 178 asylum applications were registered, compared with 2 248 during the same period this year.
Det samme gjelder for perioden januar-august, i 1997 var det 1178 asylsøknader i samme periode sammenliknet med 2248 i år.
This year, there have been 241 applications from asylum seekers declaring themselves to be unaccompanied minors.
Søkere som oppgir å være enslige mindreårige ved søknad er 241 hittil i år.
This is a decrease of 88 % compared with the same period in 2015, when 1 957 such applications were received.
Dette er en nedgang med 88 prosent sammenliknet med samme periode i 2015.
‘There are several reasons why there are fewer asylum seekers coming to Norway.
– Det er flere årsaker til at det kommer færre asylsøkere til Norge.
The closure of borders in a number of countries has had a major impact on the number of arrivals in northern Europe.
Stengte grenser har hatt en stor effekt på ankomstene til det nordlige Europa.
However, we are also seeing that the number of arrivals is even lower in Norway than in Sweden and Denmark.
Samtidig ser vi at ankomsttallene er enda lavere her enn i Sverige og Danmark.
We believe that the measures we have implemented have had an impact on the number of asylum seekers coming to Norway,’ Ms Listhaug said.
Vi mener at tiltakene vi har gjennomført også har hatt en innvirkning på asyltallene, sier Listhaug.
