The restructuring and modernisation of NATO in which we are now engaged is necessary if the Alliance will in future continue to be able both to fulfil its mutual defence obligations and to engage in “out of area” operations on a sound basis.
Den omleggingen og effektiviseringen vi nå skal gjennomføre av NATO er nødvendig for at alliansen også i framtiden skal kunne ivareta både sine kollektive forsvarsforpliktelser og utføre utenlandsoperasjoner ”out of area” på en god måte.
Norway is following this process closely an d is playing an active part.
Norge følger, og deltar aktivt, i denne prosessen.
We are seeing an EU that is in a state of change, not least where defence and security policy is concerned.
Vi ser et EU i endring, også innenfor det sikkerhets- og forsvarspolitiske området.
For me it has, for example, become more difficult to make political contact and engage in dialogue with the EU.
For meg har det for eksempel blitt vanskeligere å komme i politisk kontakt og dialog opp mot EU.
The old “Troika meeting”, where I met with the EU’s political leaders four times a year, has been discontinued and not replaced in any form that we would consider satisfactory.
Det gamle ”troika-møtet” der jeg møtte EUs politiske ledelse fire ganger i året er avviklet og ikke blitt erstattet på en for oss tilfredsstillende måte.
We are working hard to find a new and acceptable solution.
Vi jobber aktivt for å få til en ny og akseptabel løsning.
This is important in enabling us to safeguard Norwegian interests.
Dette er viktig for å ivareta norske interesser.
I have already mentioned that close allies have now embarked on preparations for the far-reaching restructuring of their defence forces.
Jeg har alt nevnt at nære allierte har startet opp utredningsarbeid for å gjennomføre tunge omstruktureringer av sine forsvar.
Through our North Sea Strategy we have forged close bonds with the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands.
Gjennom vår Nordsjøstrategi har vi knyttet nære bånd til Storbritannia, Tyskland og Nederland.
We appreciate that there are two main reasons for their forthcoming defence restructuring.
Vi er inneforstått med at det er to hovedgrunner for deres kommende forsvarsreformer.
Firstly it is about costs, but is also about the reshaping of defence assets to meet the new realities of the security picture while adapting to modified ambitions, especially where “out of area” operations are concerned.
Det dreier seg for det første om kostnader, men også om å omstille forsvaret til nye sikkerhetspolitiske realiteter og tilpassede ambisjoner, spesielt knyttet til ”out of area” operasjoner.
From a Norwegian viewpoint we see the forthcoming defence reforms of our close European allies as providing an opportunity to strengthen multinational cooperation.
Fra norsk side ser vi de kommende forsvarsreformene hos våre nære europeiske allierte som en anledning til å kunne forsterke det flernasjonale samarbeidet.
In the United States as well, the defence organisation will be undergoing some radical restructuring.
Også i USA vil det komme tunge omstillinger i forsvaret.
At the same time, however, America’s armed forces will remain hugely comprehensive.
Samtidig vil det amerikanske forsvaret forbli meget omfattende.
The aspect that is probably of the greatest interest to us in the future is the United States’ balance of focus between the Atlantic and the Pacific theatres.
Det som trolig vil være av størst interesse for oss fremover er balansen mellom et atlantisk og stillehavsfokus på amerikansk side.
From our own viewpoint, it is important to develop still further our current cooperation with the United States, and it is gratifying to see that the Americans have been quick to focus on the challenges in the High North.
Fra vår side er det viktig å videreutvikle samarbeidet med USA, og det er gledelig å se at amerikanerne i løpet av kort tid har satt fokus på utfordringene i nordområdene.
Nordic cooperation NATO is important to us but Nordic cooperation is also steadily increasing in significance.
Nordisk samarbeid NATO er viktig for oss, men det nordiske samarbeidet får også stadig større betydning.
In November last year we saw a new cooperation structure put in place, Nordic Defence Cooperation – NORDEFCO, which brings together in one organisation all aspects of Nordic defence cooperation.
I november i fjor fikk vi en ny samarbeidsstruktur på plass, Nordic Defence Cooperation – NORDEFCO, som samler alt det nordiske forsvarssamarbeidet i én organisasjon.
Norway holds the chairmanship in 2010.
Her sitter Norge med lederskapet i 2010.
We have a great deal to gain from cooperation and the potential is important.
Vi har svært mye å hente på å samarbeide og det er et betydelig potensiale.
It covers everything from the joint education and training of personnel, joint exercises, joint purchasing and the maintenance of systems and equipment, to common transport, logistics and much more.
Det omfatter alt fra felles trening og utdanning av personell, felles øvelser, felles innkjøp og vedlikehold av systemer og materiell, til felles transport, logistikk og mye mer.
Not least in relation to operations abroad, Nordic cooperation offers very considerable advantages.
Ikke minst i forhold til utenlandsoperasjoner bør det nordiske samarbeidet ha svært mye for seg.
By acting together we can make a more substantial contribution to operations under the auspices of the UN, NATO or the EU than we ever could when acting alone.
Sammen kan vi stille mer substansielle bidrag til operasjoner i regi av FN, NATO eller EU enn vi kan hver for oss.
The obstacles that previously hindered effective defence cooperation between the Nordic countries, involving differing attitudes towards NATO, the EU etc, no longer constitute formal impediments.
De hindringene som tidligere lå i veien for at de nordiske land kunne ha et effektivt forsvarssamarbeid, med ulik orientering mot NATO, EU osv, utgjør ikke lengre noen formelle hindringer.
At the same time, however, Nordic cooperation could never become an alternative to NATO or the EU.
Samtidig vil det nordiske samarbeidet aldri kunne bli noe alternativ til NATO eller EU.
We see such cooperation rather as a deepening of the broader European integration in the field of security and defence policy, and as an important expression of EU-NATO cooperation.
Vi ser det snarere som en fordypning av den bredere europeiske integrasjonen på det forsvars- og sikkerhetspolitiske feltet, og et viktig uttrykk for et EU-NATO-samarbeid.
Nordic cooperation supplements the countries’ membership of NATO and/or the EU and is in no way an alternative.
Nordisk samarbeid er et supplement og ikke et alternativ til landenes medlemskap i NATO eller EU.
I believe that we have already achieved much.
Jeg synes allerede vi har fått til mye.
I am also well satisfied with the plans that we now have for still closer collaboration within ISAF.
Jeg er også godt fornøyd med de planene vi nå har for et enda tettere samarbeid i ISAF.
I hope that we shall eventually end up with a joint Nordic force, fully integrated and with common maintenance and supply arrangements.
Jeg håper vi vil ende opp med en felles nordisk og fullt integrert styrke med felles vedlikehold og forsyning.
This is of particular importance as we enter the phase of operations in which the Afghans will be taking over responsibility for their own security while we gradually scale down the military support.
Dette er særlig viktig i fasen når afghanerne overtar sikkerhetsansvaret og vi gradvis skal avvikle den militære støtten.
Our ambition, from the standpoint of the Norwegian chairmanship, is that we should be making a joint Nordic contribution to a UN-led operation during the course of the next two or three years.
Vår ambisjon, fra det norske formannskapets side, er at vi skal stille et felles nordisk bidrag til en FN-ledet operasjon i løpet av de to-tre nærmeste årene.
We in Norway are fortunate, our economic situation is good and we have been able to increase the defence budget in contrast to most other European countries.
Vi er heldige i Norge, vår økonomiske situasjon er god og vi har økt forsvarsbudsjettet i motsetning til de fleste andre europeiske land.
We also have a strong Norwegian defence industry.
Vi har også en sterk norsk forsvarsindustri.
Industrial cooperation Norwegian exports of defence equipment are showing strong growth, increasing from NOK 2.9 billion in 2005 to about 4.8 billion in 2009.
Industrisamarbeid Norsk eksport av forsvarsmateriell er i sterk vekst, fra 2,9 milliarder i 2005 til om lag 4,8 milliarder kroner i 2009.
Over the period from 2008 to 2009 alone, our exports rose by around 17 percent.
Bare fra 2008 til 2009 økte eksporten med om lag 17 prosent.
This growth is due both to the fact that the Norwegian defence industry is highly competitive and to the constructive relationship that exists between the armed forces and industry.
Denne veksten skyldes både at norsk forsvarsindustri er svært konkurransedyktig, og at vi har et konstruktivt samspill mellom Forsvaret og industrien.
This growth is also the result of our industrial policy with its increased emphasis on industrial collaboration and offset purchase agreements.
Veksten er også et resultat av vår næringspolitikk, med skjerpede krav om industrisamarbeid og gjenkjøp.
And I would like to take this opportunity to give credit to our embassies and defence attachés who do such valuable work in opening doors and acting as support players for the defence industry.
Og jeg vil benytte denne anledningen til å gi anerkjennelse til våre utestasjoner og forsvarsattachéer, som er viktige døråpnere og støttespillere for forsvarsindustrien.
This dynamic is of great importance to Norwegian industry and Norwegian jobs.
Denne dynamikken er viktig for norsk næringsliv og for norske arbeidsplasser.
In fact the development of advanced military equipment often leads to the development of spin-off products that can be exploited by industry in civil applications.
Utvikling av avansert militær teknologi fører nemlig ofte til utvikling av andre produkter som igjen kan utnyttes av sivil industrivirksomhet.
In this way our military needs can contribute to innovation which in turn can provide the basis for new industrial initiatives.
Forsvaret behov bidrar dermed til innovasjon som kan gi grunnlag for nye industrisatsinger.
One challenge to our security lies in the fact that espionage did not die with the end of the Cold War.
En sikkerhetsutfordring for oss er at spionasjen ikke døde med den kalde krigen.
International industrial espionage in on the increase, not least because more states now have ambitions to play a more central role on the international stage.
Internasjonal industrispionasje er på vei oppover, ikke minst fordi flere stater har fått ambisjoner om å spille en mer sentral rolle internasjonalt.
It would be naive to believe that militarily oriented espionage directed against Norwegian interests has ceased.
Det ville være naivt å tro at den militært rettede spionasjen mot norske interesser helt og holdent har opphørt.
At the same time, it is not least our oil, gas and other offshore industries that are the focus of interest on the part of foreign actors.
Samtidig er det nok ikke minst olje-, gass- og den øvrige off-shore-industrien som nå er interessant for utenlandske aktører.
Combat aircraft One project with widespread repercussions where innovation, the creation of added value and new industrial initiatives are concerned, is Norway’s procurement of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as its new combat aircraft.
Kampfly Et prosjekt med store ringvirkninger nettopp når det gjelder innovasjon, verdiskapning og nye industrisatsinger, er Norges kjøp av nye kampfly.
Our aim is that the project’s contribution to the creation of added value on a national scale should, over time, be of the same order of magnitude as the actual procurement cost of the aircraft themselves.
Målet er at prosjektets bidrag til den nasjonale verdiskapningen over tid skal bli i samme størrelsesorden som selve anskaffelseskostnaden for flyene.
Work on the plan for industry to achieve this aim is well under way.
Arbeidet med industriplanen for å nå dette målet er godt i gang.
A number of Norwegian companies have received key deliveries needed for production of the aircraft itself and its engines.
Flere norske bedrifter har fått sentrale leveranser til produksjon av selve flyet og flymotoren.
To date we have concluded contracts to the value of USD 330 million.
Hittil er det inngått kontrakter på 330 millioner USD.
Norway has in place good relations with the aircraft manufacturers and these will be developed further in areas not directly associated with the F-35.
Norge har fått på plass gode relasjoner med flyprodusentene som vi vil videreutvikles på områder som ikke er knyttet direkte til F-35.
We are also working actively to be able to sell Norwegian developed technology for incorporation in the aircraft.
Vi arbeider også aktivt for å selge inn norskutviklet teknologi til flyet.
Talks are in progress, both with the Americans and with the authorities in other countries, with a view to selling Kongsberg’s Joint Strike Missile (JSM) and APEX ammunition from Nammo.
Det pågår samtaler både med amerikanske og andre lands myndigheter å selge inn JSM missilet og APEX ammunisjon.
This is where we need the assistance of our embassies and missions in the countries concerned in gaining support for these initiatives.
Her trenger vi bistand fra utestasjonene i de aktuelle landene for å sikre støtte.
The production rate for the F-35 is now being gradually built up and the aircraft is expected to reach full production by 2016.
Produksjonstakten for F-35 trappes nå gradvis opp, og full produksjon forventes etter 2016.
It is important, therefore, that we now position Norwegian companies so that they are well placed to compete for the larger long-term contracts.
Derfor er det nå viktig å få posisjonert norske bedrifter, slik at de kan være med og konkurrere om de større og mer langsiktige kontraktene.
Repercussions of offset agreements Offset is an effective means of positioning Norwegian industry in the international defence market.
Ringvirkninger av gjenkjøp Gjenkjøp er et effektivt virkemiddel for å posisjonere norsk industri på det internasjonale forsvarsmarkedet.
Norwegian firms have been successful in the international defence market with a wide range of products from communications and maritime technology to a variety of weapon systems.
Norske bedrifter har lykkes med en rekke ulike produkter på det internasjonale forsvarsmarkedet, fra kommunikasjonsteknologi og maritim teknologi til ulike våpensystemer.
Every year, between 150 and 200 Norwegian companies compete for one or more offset contracts.
Mellom 150 og 200 norske bedrifter konkurrerer seg hvert år til en eller flere gjenkjøpskontrakter.
Many of the companies which benefit from this play a very important role in providing employment in their local communities, whether it be Natech in Narvik, KDA in Kongsberg, Nammo in Raufoss or Kitron in Arendal.
Mange av bedriftene som nyter godt av dette, er svært viktige for sysselsettingen i sine lokalsamfunn, enten det er Natech i Narvik, KDA på Kongsberg, Nammo på Raufoss eller Kitron i Arendal.
In addition, these companies often have an extensive network of subcontractors which also contribute significantly to value creation.
I tillegg har disse bedriftene ofte et stort nettverk av underleverandører som bidrar til betydelig verdiskapning.
The Norwegian Armed Forces have the capacity to make important contributions to demanding operations abroad.
Forsvaret er i stand til å levere viktige bidrag i krevende utenlandsoperasjoner.
They are also trained and equipped to undertake important tasks in our own neighbourhood in peacetime.
Og det er i stand til å ivareta de viktige oppgavene i våre nærområder, i fredstid.
These include surveillance, upholding Norwegian sovereignty and the exercise of authority in connection with the husbandry of resources in sea areas under Norwegian jurisdiction, as well as episode and crisis management.
Det handler blant annet om overvåking, suverenitetshevdelse, myndighetsutøvelse knyttet til ressursforvaltning i havområder under norsk jurisdiksjon, og episode- og krisehåndtering.
We are also playing our part in the development of European and global security policy.
Vi spiller også en rolle i utviklingen av europeisk og global sikkerhetspolitikk.
Our contribution to the formulation of NATO’s new Strategic Concept is an example of this.
Våre bidrag i utformingen av NATOs nye konsept er et eksempel på det.
Our involvement in UN affairs, and the work we do with our European allies and our Nordic cooperation partners, is directed towards the same end – that of making a contribution towards global peace and security – which is, after all, our primary defence task.
Vårt engasjement innen FN og sammen med våre europeiske allierte og nordiske samarbeidspartnere har samme formål.
And behind all this there stand rock-solid national defences with the capability for swift action when needed.
Og bak det står et solid forsvar med evne til innsats.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Takk for oppmerksomheten.
