There is an historic line to be drawn from the Allied soldiers fighting here in Narvik in 1940 via those who won the Second World War, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Allied countries who have served in peace missions for the United Nations, for NATO and for the EU throughout the world, to the soldiers who serve today in Afghanistan, Africa and elsewhere are struggling to make the world a little safer for us all.

Stoltenberg: Facts that require action
Stoltenberg: - Kunnskap som krever handling
“The 22 July Commission’s report is a milestone.
- Rapporten fra 22. juli-kommisjonen representerer en milepæl.
It has put the facts on the table.
Den gir oss fakta på bordet.
It gives us a common understanding of what happened.
Den gir oss en felles virkelighetsforståelse.
It gives us a basis for learning.
Den gir oss en plattform for å lære.
And most important, it gives us a basis for taking further action,” said Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Og viktigst, den gir oss et grunnlag for å handle, sier statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
The 22 July Commission was appointed by the Government in consultation with the Storting (parliament) in the wake of the terrorist attack on 22 July 2011.
22. juli-kommisjonen ble nedsatt av regjeringen, i samråd med partiene på Stortinget, i etterkant av terrorangrepet 22. juli 2011.
“After a preliminary run-through the report, my clear impression is that we have been given what we asked for: a report that is truthful and without embellishment.
- Etter en foreløpig gjennomgang er mitt klare inntrykk at vi har fått det vi ba om: En usminket og ærlig rapport.
The facts that have been established appear credible, and the analyses seem sound, even though some parts of the report make uncomfortable reading,” said Mr Stoltenberg.
Faktagrunnlaget fremstår troverdig, og analysene virker solide, selv om de på noen områder er ubehagelige, sier Stoltenberg.
The Commission has presented six key findings, as well as recommendations on a number of action points.
Kommisjonen har kommet frem til seks hovedfunn og gir anbefalinger om en rekke tiltak.
“The Commission has revealed significant weaknesses.
- Kommisjonen avdekker vesentlige svakheter.
It is too soon for me to comment on all aspects of the report.
Det er for tidlig for meg å kommentere alle forhold.
“However, there are some comments I can already make today.
- Noe er det likevel mulig for meg å si allerede i dag.
More security and emergency preparedness measures should have been implemented sooner.
Flere sikrings- og beredskapstiltak burde ha vært iverksatt tidligere.
It took too long to close the road outside the government offices, Grubbegata.
Det tok for lang tid å stenge Grubbegaten.
It took too long to arrest the perpetrator.
Det tok for lang tid å pågripe gjerningsmannen.
And the police could have got to the island of Utøya faster.
Og politiet kunne vært raskere på Utøya.
These are facts that I deeply regret,” said Mr Stoltenberg.
Dette er forhold jeg beklager dypt, sier Stoltenberg.
Review of the police
Gjennomgang av politiet
Mr Stoltenberg announced that the Government will initiate a thorough review of the police.
Stoltenberg varsler at regjeringen vil sette i verk en grundig gjennomgang av politiet.
“The Commission’s report has revealed extensive problems in the police.
- Kommisjonens rapport avdekker omfattende problemer i politiet.
The Government will therefore initiate a thorough review of the police.
Regjeringen vil derfor sette i verk en grundig gjennomgang av politiet.
I have already asked the Minister of Justice and Public Security to follow up this part of the report.
Jeg har allerede bedt Justis- og beredskapsministeren om å ta tak i denne delen av rapporten.
This is in line with the mandate Grete Faremo received when she was appointed Minister of Justice and Public Security: the responsibility for public security is to be clarified and strengthened,” said Mr Stoltenberg.
Dette er i tråd med det mandatet Grete Faremo fikk som ny justis- og beredskapsminister: Ansvaret for sikkerhet og beredskap i departementet skal styrkes og tydeliggjøres, sier Stoltenberg.
“If there is one thing we have learned from 22 July, it is that impatience is important.
- Er det en ting vi har lært av 22. juli så er det at utålmodighet er viktig.
That is why we haven’t waited for the Commission’s report before taking steps to strengthen our emergency preparedness,” he added.
Derfor har vi ikke ventet på kommisjonen før vi har styrket beredskapen, legger han til.
He emphasised that the Government has already implemented a number of measures on the basis of lessons learned from the attacks on 22 July, including the following:
Han understreker at regjeringen allerede har iverksatt en rekke tiltak på grunnlag av lærdom fra angrepene den 22. juli, blant annet:
The police and the Police Security Service (PST) have been allocated additional resources.
Politiet og PST er tilført økte ressurser.
Helicopter readiness has been strengthened.
Helikopterberedskapen er styrket.
Cooperation between the Armed Forces and the police has been enhanced.
Samarbeidet mellom Forsvaret og Politiet er styrket.
White paper
Stortingsmelding
On the basis of the 22 July Commission’s report, the Government will present new measures for strengthening emergency preparedness.
Med utgangspunkt i 22. juli-kommisjonens rapport vil regjeringen legge fram nye tiltak for å styrke beredskapen.
These will be presented in a white paper, Mr Stoltenberg announced.
Det vil skje i en egen melding til Stortinget, varsler Stoltenberg.
In this way, the Government wishes to invite the Storting to take part in a cooperative effort to build a safer and stronger Norway,” said Mr Stoltenberg.
På denne måten vil regjeringen invitere Stortinget til samarbeid for å bygge et tryggere og sterkere Norge, sier Stoltenberg.
