Having previously advised Norwegian companies not to operate in Myanmar, the Government is now encouraging them to do so.
Fra å ha frarådet norske bedrifter å gå inn i Myanmar, oppmuntrer regjeringen nå til det.
The conference focused on what we can do to close the gap between international CSR principles and the practices of small- and medium-sized enterprises when operating abroad.
Konferansen fokuserte på hvordan vi kan gjøre avstanden mindre mellom internasjonale CSR-prinsipper og små og store bedrifters praksis i deres utenlandske virksomhet.
Civil society organisations, the media and the authorities all have key roles to play in these efforts.
Sivilt samfunn, media og myndigheter har sentrale roller i dette arbeidet.
CSR has made a difference, although much still remains to be done.
CSR har utgjort en forskjell, selv om mye gjenstår.
In the future, the expectations of consumers, employees, investors and the general public with regard to CSR will in all likelihood increase.
I fremtiden vil trolig forventningene til næringslivets samfunnsansvar hos forbrukere, ansatte, investorer og publikum tilta.

The fact that our political visions are followed up through annual budget allocations enhances our credibility at the international level,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
At politiske visjoner følges opp gjennom årlige budsjettbevilgninger, gir oss tyngde internasjonalt, sier Espen Barth Eide.
New activities The Government proposes an allocation of NOK 12 million for a project that involves allowing the research vessel Lance to freeze into the pack ice.
Nye satsinger Regjeringen går inn for en bevilgning på 12 millioner kroner til innfrysing av forskningsskipet Lance i polisen.
“The freezing of the research vessel Lance into the ice is an important project that will help improve current climate and meteorological models,” Mr Eide said.
- Innfrysingen av Lance er et viktig prosjekt som blant annet vil bidra til å forbedre dagens klimamodeller og meteorologiske modeller, sier utenriksministeren.
Increased funding for existing activities Several other existing projects will also receive more funding.
Økning til eksisterende satsinger Flere andre tiltak vil også få mer penger.

St. 7 (2011–2012) - The High North
7 (2011–2012) - Nordområdene
Stortinget (Norwegian Parliament), Oslo, 2 February 2010
Stortinget, 2. februar 2010
One of the aims of the Government’s High North strategy has been to raise international awareness about the High North.
Et av nordområdestrategiens siktemål har vært å øke den internasjonale oppmerksomheten om nordområdene.
Over the past two years a growing number of actors have discussed the High North and developed their own High North/Arctic strategies, including the US, Russia, the EU, Denmark and Iceland.
De siste to årene har stadig flere aktører, deriblant USA, Russland, EU, Danmark og Island, debattert nordområdene og utformet egne nordområde-/arktisstrategier.
How does the Foreign Minister assess these strategies in relation to Norwegian interests and objectives for the use and protection of the Arctic, and what is his response to those who call for a clearer definition of what is covered by the High North concept?”
Hvordan vurderer utenriksministeren disse strategiene målt opp mot norske interesser og målsettinger for bruk og beskyttelse av Arktis, og hva er utenriksministerens svar på oppfordringer om å få en klarere forståelse av hva nordområdebegrepet omfatter?
I would like to thank Mr Kristiansen for raising questions that have a bearing on important foreign policy trends in the High North, a geographical region that he no doubt knows well.
Jeg vil takke representanten Kristiansen for å ta opp spørsmål som berører viktige utenrikspolitiske utviklingstrekk i våre nordområder, et geografisk område som representanten tør være godt kjent med.
We enjoy broad consensus on the main features of the Norwegian High North strategy.
Vi nyter godt av en bred enighet om hovedtrekkene i den norske strategien.
The white paper on the High North presented by my predecessor Jan Petersen received widespread support.
Meldingen om nordområdene fra min forgjenger Jan Petersen fikk bred tilslutning.
There has also been broad support for the increased emphasis the Stoltenberg Government has placed on the High North by defining the area as Norway’s most important strategic priority area, with associated strategies, action plans and allocations.
Det taktskiftet Stoltenberg-regjeringen gjennomførte ved å definere nordområdene som Norges strategiske satsingsområde, med strategier, handlingsplaner og bevilgninger, har også hatt bred støtte.
It is clear to us that a High North perspective must also include our parts of the Arctic region.
Det står klart for oss at et nordområdeperspektiv også må omfatte våre deler av det arktiske.
This is, I believe, a new realisation.
Dette tror jeg er en ny erkjennelse.
We must therefore take an interest in the management of the Arctic as a whole – a region that is now attracting growing attention in strategic terms.
Vi må derfor interessere oss for håndteringen av hele Arktis – en region som nå får økende strategisk oppmerksomhet.
First, I would like to discuss the concept of the High North.
Først om forståelsen av nordområdebegrepet.
It is quite true that in our High North efforts, the High North is not precisely defined in terms of geographical coordinates, nor is it limited to Norwegian areas.
Det er helt riktig at i vår nordområdesatsing er ikke «nordområdene» presist definert med geografiske koordinater, og heller ikke avgrenset til kun norske områder.
We can perhaps say that the High North is a political concept, a political definition: the northernmost part of Europe including the northern part of Norway, both large sea areas and populated areas of land.
På en måte kan vi kanskje si at «nordområdene» er et politisk begrep, en politisk definisjon: Det nordligste av Europa innbefattet det nordlige av Norge, store havområder, men også på land, der menneskene lever sine liv.
Norway has important interests that are affected by developments in this area and in the Arctic region as a whole.
Norge har viktige interesser knyttet til utviklingen i hele dette området og i hele Arktis.
Our efforts in the north must be seen in a geopolitical context, and therefore the terms “High North” and “Arctic” may well be partly overlapping.
Vår satsing i nord må ses i en geopolitisk sammenheng, og derfor kan gjerne begrepene «nordområdene» og «Arktis» delvis være overlappende.
But, as I have said, I do not believe a clear distinction is necessary.
Men som sagt, en klar grense tror jeg ikke er påkrevet.
In strategic terms, all these areas are part of a broader, common framework.
Strategisk utgjør alt dette nemlig en bredere, felles ramme.
Although the Government’s High North efforts focus primarily on Norway’s northernmost areas and our cooperation with Russia, a number of the main priorities in the High North strategy are also important in our Arctic policy and in our contact with a whole range of countries.
Selv om regjeringens nordområdesatsing i første rekke har fokus på våre landsdeler i nord og samarbeidet med Russland, er flere av strategiens hovedprioriteringer viktige også i vår Arktis-politikk og i berøring med en lang rekke land.
Our foreign policy in the High North and the Arctic covers at least five dimensions:
Vår utenrikspolitikk i nordområdene og Arktis omfatter minst fem dimensjoner:
First: We will exercise our authority in the High North in a credible, consistent and predictable way.
For det første: Vi skal utøve myndighet i nord på en troverdig, konsekvent og forutsigbar måte.
Second: We will be at the forefront of international efforts to develop knowledge in and about the High North.
For det andre: Vi skal være helt i front internasjonalt når det gjelder utvikling av kunnskap om, for og i nordområdene.
Third: We intend to be the best steward of the environment and natural resources in the High North.
For det tredje: Vi skal være den fremste forvalter av miljø og naturressurser i nordområdene.
We will pursue an active policy of value creation, as set out for instance in the report New Building Blocks in the North, presented by the Prime Minister in March 2009.
Vi skal ha en aktiv verdiskapingspolitikk, slik det bl.a. er nedfelt i rapporten Nye byggesteiner i nord, framlagt av statsministeren i mars i fjor.
Fourth: We will continue to promote peace and stability in the High North, and we will seek to strengthen our close bilateral and multilateral cooperation with relevant actors in the Arctic region – in the Arctic Council, in the Barents Cooperation, in the Nordic context and in other forums.
For det fjerde: Vi skal fortsette å fremme fred og stabilitet i nordområdene, og vi skal arbeide for økt godt samarbeid med relevante aktører i Arktis, både bilateralt og multilateralt – i Arktisk Råd, Barentssamarbeidet, i nordisk sammenheng og i andre fora.
Fifth: We will uphold international law and in particular the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the fundamental international legal framework for the Arctic Ocean and other Arctic areas.
For det femte: Vi skal støtte opp om folkeretten og særlig FNs havrettskonvensjon, som det grunnleggende rettslige rammeverk for Polhavet og andre områder i Arktis.
