For første gang overlater en valgt president makten til sin etterfølger etter å ha tapt i frie og demokratiske valg, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.

Nightingale
Nattergalen
Nightingale has two main aims:
Nattergalen har to hovedmål:
Strengthen the multicultural knowledge in the child welfare service by giving students at child welfare and social work programmes better knowledge about children, youth and families with minority background.
Styrke kultursensitiviteten i barnevernet ved at studenter ved barnevern- og sosialfagutdanning får bedre kunnskap om barn, unge og familier med minoritetsbakgrunn.
Nightingale was established at Malmö University College in Sweden in 1997.
Nattergalen ble startet ved Högskolan i Malmö, Sverige, i 1997.
The programme is based on the Israeli mentoring scheme Perach.
Ordningen er basert på den israelske mentorordningen Perach.
Since 1974 this scheme has been used to integrate, empower and support children from underprivileged areas.
Siden 1970-tallet har denne mentormodellen vært brukt til å integrere, berike og støtte barn fra sosialt utsatte områder.
Today the Nightingale mentoring programme runs in five European countries in addition to Norway and Sweden.
Nattergalen finnes i dag på flere høgskoler/universiteter i Sverige og i seks europeiske land.
In Norway, Nightingale also runs at the University of Stavanger, where student teachers may apply to become mentors for children with minority background.
I Norge finnes Nattergalen allerede på Universitetet i Stavanger, der studenter på lærerutdanningen får tilbud om å være mentor for barn med minoritetsbakgrunn.
There are clear boundaries for the time mentors and children spend together.
Det er faste rammer rundt tiden mentor og barn tilbringer sammen.
Each mentor is expected to spend 2-3 hours with the child a week and take part in various activities both alone with the child and together with a group of other mentors and children.
Mentor skal være sammen med mentorbarnet sitt 2-3 timer pr uke og ta initiativ til ulike aktiviteter både alene med barnet og i felleskap med andre mentorer/mentorbarn.
The nightingale is chosen as a symbol for the programme, as it is known to sing beautifully when it feels safe.
Nattergalen er valgt som symbol fordi den synger når den føler seg trygg.
Why is Nightingale so important?
Hvorfor er Nattergalen så viktig?
Nightingale is run by eight universities and university colleges from Bodø in north to Kristiansand in south.
Åtte høgskoler/universiteter deltar i prøveordningen.
• Bergen University College • Bodø University College • Lillehammer University College • Oslo University College • Sør-Trøndelag University College • Telemark University College • University of Agder • Østfold University College
• Høgskolen i Bergen • Høgskolen i Bodø • Høgskolen i Lillehammer • Høgskolen i Oslo • Høgskolen i Sør-Trøndelag • Høgskolen i Telemark • Høgskolen i Østfold • Universitetet i Agder
Nightingale is a three-year trial programme.
Koordinatorene skal også jevnlig rapportere til departementet.
It will be research evaluated during and after the trial period.
Oppstart for Nattergalen er oktober 2008

Tariffs for current transport agreements remain unchanged.

Tariffs in the infrastructure are reduced when the predicted return has been achieved.
Tariffene i infrastrukturen reduseres når den forutsatte avkastningen er oppnådd.
This predictability for investors is important for the authorities, says Minister of Petroleum and Energy Tord Lien.
