Dette er en utfordring som må løses av Europa i fellesskap.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has said this weekend’s tragedy was the worst ever in the Mediterranean.

“Migration from North Africa to Europe has become an industry where human beings are exploited by organised criminal networks.
Migrasjonen fra Nord-Afrika til Europa er blitt en industri, der mennesker utnyttes av organiserte nettverk.
In a cynical and ruthless way people are sent off on hazardous journey where they have no influence on their own fate”, says Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
På en kynisk og hensynsløs måte sendes de ut på en overfart med enorm risiko til en skjebne de ikke selv styre, sier statsministeren.

WTO panel rules in Norway’s favour in the salmon case
WTO-panel gir Norge medhold i laksesaken mot EU
According to the Norwegian Government, the EU measure contains such fundamental and serious errors that the measure must be revoked.
Regjeringen mener at EU har begått så grunnleggende og alvorlige feil at tiltaket må heves.
"I am very pleased that the Panel confirms Norway’s claim that the EU measure against Norwegian salmon is an infringement of WTO rules.
– Det er svært gledelig at Panelet gir Norge medhold i at EUs tiltak mot norsk laks bryter regelverket.
The WTO Panel concludes that serious errors were made in connection with the anti-dumping investigation.
WTO-panelet sier at det er gjort alvorlige feil i forbindelse med EUs anti-dumpingundersøkelse.
The Panel also concludes that serious errors were made in the calculation of dumping margins, and in the assessment of injury to the salmon industry in the EU.
Det ble også gjort alvorlige feil i utregningen av dumpingmarginer og vurderingen av skade på EUs laksenæring.
The EU’s minimum import prices for Norwegian salmon also violate WTO rules.
Utformingen av minsteprisene er heller ikke i samsvar med WTO-reglene.
"This confirms that the Norwegian authorities were right to take the case to the WTO.
– Dette bekrefter at det var riktig av norske myndigheter å ta saken til WTO.
We could no longer tolerate the EU’s continuous, unwarranted trade protection measures against Norway.
Vi kunne ikke lenger finne oss i kontinuerlige og uberettigede handelstiltak fra EU.
The aquaculture industry is very important for wealth creation and employment along coastal Norway, and the Government accords high priority to the industry’s market access and conditions of competition.
Havbruksnæringen er svært viktig for verdiskaping og sysselsetting i Kyst-Norge og regjeringen er opptatt av næringens markedsadgang og konkurransebetingelser.
The result of the Panel case will contribute to ensuring more stable and predictable conditions for the aquaculture industry," notes the Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs.
Resultatet i panelsaken mot EU vil bidra til å sikre havbruksnæringen mer stabile og forutsigbare rammevilkår, påpeker fiskeri og kystministeren.
The EU implemented minimum import prices for farmed salmon from Norway in January 2006.
EU innførte minstepriser for import av oppdrettslaks fra Norge i januar 2006.
Following a series of unsuccessful attempts to reach a negotiated solution with the EU, the Government, with full support from the salmon industry, decided to bring the case to the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body.
Etter at en rekke forsøk på å komme fram til en forhandlet løsning med EU ikke førte fram besluttet Regjeringen, med støtte fra næringen, å ta saken inn for WTOs tvisteløsningsorgan.
The WTO panel’s report addresses all the complaints Norway has brought against the EU’s measures.
WTO-panelets rapport tar for seg alle ankepunktene Norge reiste mot EUs tiltak.
Although Norway did not find support for all of its complaints, it prevailed on many, including the key complaints in the panel report.
Norge får riktignok ikke medhold i alle, men vinner fram på de mest avgjørende ankepunktene i panelrapporten.
"This was a very comprehensive and difficult case.
- Dette er en svært omfattende og vanskelig sak.
From the beginning, we found many fundamental errors in the EU’s measure and in the way in which the EU had conducted its investigation.
Vi fant svært mange grunnleggende feil med tiltaket og med måten EU hadde gjennomført undersøkelsen på.
Our strategy was thus to attack the measure across a broad front.
Vår strategi var derfor å angripe tiltaket på bred front.

- Norge sender et tydelig signal om vår økte humanitære støtte til Sahel-landene med dette betydelige bidraget, sier utenriksministeren.
The humanitarian assistance provided by Norway will be channelled through the UN, aid organisations and the Red Cross system.
Det norske bidraget vil gå til humanitært arbeid gjennom FN, bistandsorganisasjoner og Røde Kors-systemet.
Mr Brende also announced support of NOK 70 million for education in the Sahel, and NOK 20 million for efforts to strengthen the police and the judicial system in northern Mali.
Utenriksministeren annonserte også støtte på 70 millioner kroner til utdanning i Sahel og 20 millioner kroner til oppbygging av politi og rettsvesen i Nord-Mali.

The UN has estimated that close to USD 2 billion is needed to meet humanitarian needs in the Sahel region in 2016.
FN beregner behovet for humanitær innsats i Sahel til nærmere to milliarder dollar i 2016.

‘Norway shares the international community’s concern about developments in the Sahel.
- Norge deler det internasjonale samfunnets bekymring for utviklingen i Sahel.
The humanitarian needs are immense, as one crisis gives way to the next.
De humanitære behovene er enorme og den ene krisen avløser den andre.
Many people are also having to live with the constant threat of violent extremism,’ Mr Brende said.
I tillegg må mange leve med trusselen fra voldelig ekstremisme, sier Brende.
The civilian population in the unstable Sahel region has suffered crisis after crisis for many years, as a result of both armed conflict and natural disasters.
Sivilbefolkningen i det urolige Sahel-området har i mange år opplevd krise etter krise, forårsaket både av væpnet konflikt og naturkatastrofer.
In several of the countries in the region, governance is weak and there are major humanitarian challenges.
Flere av landene i regionen er preget av svak myndighetskontroll og store humanitære utfordringer.
At present, the future prospects of the rapidly growing young population are gloomy.
For den sterkt voksende unge befolkningen er det for tiden dystre framtidsutsikter.
This is leading to an increase in migration, and at the same time creating a breeding ground for organised crime, smuggling and terrorism.
Dette bidrar til at migrasjonen øker, samtidig som det skapes grobunn for organisert kriminalitet, smugling og terrorisme.
