Russia will of course be part of this equation.
Russland er en viktig del av dette bildet selvsagt.
This summer the Research Council will announce which research institutions and other actors it intends to involve in the programme.
I løpet av sommeren vil Forskningsrådet gjøre kjent hvilken forskningsinstitusjon og andre miljøer som skal trekkes inn.
Then there is the question of people, the most important resource.
Så er det spørsmål om folk, om mennesker – den viktigste ressursen.
Economic development, particularly in the north, will make it difficult to find enough qualified labour, and that applies on both sides of the border.
Med den økonomiske utviklingen særlig i nord blir det en utfordring å skaffe nok kvalifisert arbeidskraft, på begge sider av grensen.
We are already experiencing a shortage of labour, and the demand will only increase.
Vi ser mangelen på arbeidskraft allerede nå, og behovet kommer bare til å øke.
There are now plans to reopen the Syd-Varanger mine.
Syd-Varanger gruve er planlagt åpnet igjen.
Who would have guessed that, after the painful closure in the 1990s?
– Tenk det, etter den smertefulle nedleggingen på 1990-tallet.
But due to the good times, there is now not enough qualified personnel to operate the mine.
Men samtidig – som tegn på gode tider: Det finnes ikke nok kvalifisert arbeidskraft i Finnmark til å drive gruven.
We should have a vision of the whole of the Barents region as one labour market.
Vår visjon må da være å se hele Barentsregionen som ett arbeidsmarked.
The demand for labour will vary over the course of the various projects involved.
Behovet kommer til å variere ettersom de store prosjektene pågår.
Ideally, the available workforce should be used wherever it is needed at any given time – across the borders.
Over grensene.
A lot will need to be done to achieve this.
For at vi skal få dette til, må mye gjøres.
We need a new visa agreement between Norway and Russia to simplify the procedures for issuing visas in both directions and to make it easier for people who travel a lot to get multiple visas.
Vi får nå en ny norsk-russisk visumavtale som skal forenkle utstedelsen av visum begge veier, og gjøre det lettere for folk som reiser mye å få multivisum.
Today, approximately 98% of all visa applications are granted, but this still involves a lot of paperwork.
– Ja, det er vel slik i dag at om lag 98 prosent av alle søknader blir innvilget; det er et stort ”papirarbeid”.
Last week Sergei Lavrov and I agreed to start preparation for the introduction of a border resident ID card, which would exempt the local population on either side of the border from visa requirements.
Og i forrige uke ble Sergej Lavrov og jeg enige om å arbeide for å innføre nye såkalte ”grenseboerbevis”, det vil si visumfrihet for grensebefolkningen på begge sider.
Mr Lavrov was also grateful for the fact that Norway has already started issuing five-year multiple visas to Russian nationals who are engaged in long-term cooperation with Norway.
Lavrov takket i forrige uke for at Norge allerede hadde begynt å gi 5 års multivisum til russere som er engasjert i langvarig samarbeid med Norge.
He added jokingly that he was unsure how to interpret this – whether Norway wanted to “set a good example” or “to show Russia in a bad light”.
Han la spøkefullt til at han ikke visste om Norge ønsket ”å gå foran med et godt eksempel”, eller om man ”ønsket å sette Russland i skammekroken”.
That is up to Russia.
Det er opp til Russland.
Governor Yevdokimov of Murmansk oblast expressed a certain degree of concern earlier this spring when he was presented with our white paper on easing the procedures for employing Russian labour in Norway.
Guvernør Jevdokimov i Murmansk ga uttrykk for en viss bekymring da han tidligere i vår ble presentert for vår stortingsmelding som skal lette inntak av arbeidskraft fra Russland til Norge.
He feared that we would “drain” northwestern Russia of labour that the region needs itself.
Han fryktet at vi vil ”ta” arbeidskraft fra Nordvest-Russland, som jo trenger arbeidskraften sin selv.
We must strive to make people on both sides of the border see the advantages of making the best possible use of the labour that is available in the north.
Vi må arbeide for at begge sider ser fordelene – slik at begge land kan utnytte den arbeidskraften som finnes i nord på best mulig måte.
In fact, seeing mutual advantages is a chapter by itself.
Akkurat det er et kapittel for seg – det å se gjensidige fordeler.
Perhaps the networks that have been created in the north can help to make a different scenario seem credible.
Kanskje kan nettverkene i nord gi troverdighet til en annen historie?
The current visa requirements are among the few clear dividing lines that still exist between “East” and “West”.
Visumkravet fremstår i dag som en av de få virkelig tydelige skillelinjene som eksisterer mellom ”øst” og ”vest”.
Few other things would do more to eliminate the notion of “them” and “us” as the establishment of a visa-free regime.
Lite ville bety så mye for å fjerne forestillingen om ”dem” og ”oss” som etablering av et system for visumfrihet.
But before that can happen, a number of important conditions need to be fulfilled.
Før det kan skje, må altså flere viktige forutsetninger falle på plass.
However, the mere fact that we can consider such an idea shows that times have changed.
Men at vi i det hele tatt kan tenke tanken, vitner om en ny tid.
And I intend to hold on to the vision of turning our border with Russian into a “normal” border some day.
Og jeg vil for min del holde fast ved denne visjonen – om en gang å ha en ”normal” landegrense med Russland.
There are currently about 10 000 people with a Russian background living in Norway.
Det bor i dag om lag 10.000 personer med russisk bakgrunn i Norge.
They are part of Norwegian society – the new Norwegian “we” – and are adding to its diversity and contributing their expertise.
De tilfører vårt samfunn – det nye norske vi – kompetanse og mangfold.
In 1990 a few thousand people crossed the Norwegian-Russian border.
I 1990 passerte rundt et par tusen mennesker grensen.
Last year nearly 109 000 did.
I fjor nesten 109.000.
The number speaks for itself.
Det er talende tall!
Let us now consider the natural resources in more depth.
Så skal vi dvele ekstra ved naturressursene.
Then there is energy – one of the main driving forces in the north.
Og så er det energi – en av de virkelige driverne i nord.
StatoilHydro is actively involved, and the Russian authorities have conveyed to us that Gazprom wants to include StatoilHydro in other projects as well.
StatoilHydro er aktivt engasjert og Russlands budskap til oss er at Gasprom ønsker å ha StatoilHydro med også i andre prosjekter.
This was confirmed last week.
Det ble bekreftet i forrige uke.
The Norwegian supply industry is actively positioning itself in order to compete for contracts.
Norsk leverandørindustri arbeider for å profilere seg og få kontrakter.
This is all very well for the Norwegian economy, but what about other important consequences of petroleum development in the Barents Sea?
Alt dette er vel og bra for norsk økonomi – men hva med andre, viktige konsekvenser av petroleumsutbyggingen i Barentshavet?
It is therefore in our interest to do everything we can to ensure that this development does not cause harm to the marine environment.
Da er det i vår interesse å gjøre alt vi kan for å sikre at denne utbyggingen ikke skader havområdene.
I believe that in order to maximise our influence on these processes, we should participate actively and expand our cooperation with the Russians – on both sides of the border.
Jeg mener at vi har størst innflytelse på alt dette hvis vi deltar og utvider samarbeidet med russerne – hos dem og hos oss.
Norwegian companies have experience of oil and gas extraction in difficult sea areas, and thus have the best possible starting point for ensuring that the petroleum development in the Barents Sea is carried out in an environmentally sound manner.
Norske selskaper har erfaring med olje- og gassutvinning i vanskelige havområder, og de har det beste utgangspunktet for å gjennomføre utbyggingen på en miljømessig forsvarlig måte.
Norwegian industrial participation is an excellent basis for a broader energy dialogue between the Norwegian and Russian authorities.
Norsk industriell deltakelse er også det beste utgangspunkt for utvidet norsk-russisk energidialog på myndighetsnivå.
As a start, we have launched a project under the knowledge programme “Barents 2020”, which under the auspices of Det Norske Veritas (DNV) is to develop common health, safety and environmental standards for the offshore industry and the maritime transport sector.
Som en start har vi støttet et prosjekt under kunnskapsprogrammet ”Barents 2020”, som gjennom Det norske Veritas skal utvikle et felles sett med industrielle standarder for helse, miljø og sikkerhet på selskapsnivå i offshoreindustrien og innen sjøtransport.
Here, Norway and Russia have common interests.
Her har Norge og Russland felles interesser.
Norway and Russia are major producers of fossil fuels.
Norge og Russland er begge store produsenter av fossilt brensel.
We therefore have particular responsibility for doing our utmost to combat climate change.
Vi har et særskilt ansvar for å gjøre en ekstra innsats for klimaet.
Strategically, it would be wrong for Norway not to explore the opportunities for pragmatic cooperation on climate-related issues with Russia, as we are doing with other partners.
Det ville være strategisk galt om ikke Norge utforsket mulighetene for et pragmatisk samarbeid om klimarelaterte spørsmål med Russland, slik vi gjør det med andre partnere.
Norway and Russia have not agreed on the causes of the changes we are witnessing.
Norge og Russland har ikke hatt sammenfallende syn på årsakene til de endringer vi ser.
Some of the Russian rhetoric is based on old scientific theories that are stubbornly resisting re-evaluation, although President Medvedev has announced a new line in this area as well.
Seige vitenskapsteorier henger igjen i den rusiske retorikken, selv om president Medvedjev også her varsler noen nye toner.
The fact that the post of minister of the environment has been re-established in Russia will hopefully mean that environmental issues with be put high on the agenda in Russia as well.
Med opprettelsen av en miljøvernminister i Russland igjen, må vi håpe at miljøspørsmål blir satt høyt på dagsordenen også i Russland.
This is another area where the new president is signalling a new line.
Den nye presidenten sender nye signaler også her.
One example from the field of culture is the long-term cooperation that has been established between the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet and the Murmansk Cultural Committee.
Så er det et mylder av mellomfolkelig samarbeid og kontaktnett – som innen kultur og det langsiktige samarbeidet mellom Den Norske Opera & Ballett og fylkeskulturkomiteen i Murmansk.
This cooperation covers a broad range of fields and is progressing well, but there is still room for considerable improvement and development.
Nå er samarbeidet bredt og godt, med betydelig rom for videre forbedring og utvikling.
Because of course, it isn’t all plain sailing.
For det er selvsagt ikke ukomplisert heller.
Russia’s new border zone in the north, the Russian restrictions on the import of Norwegian fish, the signals Russia is sending as regards its ambitions in Svalbard, and the joint fisheries management and control regime in the Fisheries Protection Zone – these are all examples of real challenges to Norwegian-Russian cooperation.
Russlands nye grensesone i nord, russiske restriksjoner på import av norsk fisk, russiske signaler om ambisjoner på Svalbard og fiskeriforvaltning og kontroll i Vernesonen; her ligger eksempler på reelle utfordringer i det norsk-russiske samarbeidet.
I started my speech with the picture of the Russian trawler Elektron fleeing out at sea.
Jeg begynte dette foredraget med bildet av fartøyet ”Elektron” på flukt i havet.
This illustrates one of the new risk factors.
Et eksempel på en av de moderne risikofaktorene.
It is also an example of a situation we handled satisfactorily – both internally in Norway and in our dealings with Russia.
Og et eksempel på en hendelse vi håndterte tilfredsstillende – vi i Norge og i vår kontakt med Russland.
In such cases where we disagree with Russia, events and statements can lead to heated situations, even in cold areas.
I slike saker der vi ikke er enige med Russland, kan hendelser og utsagn føre til opphetede situasjoner, selv i kalde områder.
But what has changed, what means that we are in quite a different situation now as compared with earlier, is the quality of our dialogue with Russia.
Men det som har endret seg, og det som gjør at vi i dag likevel er i en annen situasjon enn før, det er kvaliteten på den dialogen vi nå fører med Russland.
Even on difficult issues, we are able to conduct an objective dialogue.
Vi fører en saklig diskusjon også om de vanskelige spørsmålene.
We are also signalling quite clearly that in northern waters, Russia can expect Norway to take a predictable and firm line on familiar issues.
Og vi sender tydelige signaler om dette: I de kjente sakene, i nordlige farvann, kan Russland forvente norsk forutsigbarhet og norsk fasthet.
This is a question of taking a long-term approach to Norwegian policy and enforcement.
Her er det snakk om langsiktighet i norsk politikk og håndhevelse.
That way, things are clearest.
Det blir ryddigst slik.
Our door is open.
Vår dør er åpen.
But we are not “bilateralising” our responsibility for exercising Norwegian sovereignty with respect to other countries.
Men det er ikke slik at vi ”bilateraliserer” norsk suverenitetsansvar med andre land.
So my friends, to sum up, it is the developments in the High North that have the greatest impact on Norwegian-Russian relations.
Så, venner, for å oppsummere:
All in all, this points in the right directions.
Det peker i sum i riktig retning.
This is one dimension.
Det er den ene dimensjonen.
Then there is the other dimension – the relations between Russia and the West, including Norway.
Den andre dimensjonen handler om forholdet mellom Russland og Vesten som også omfatter Norge.
Internal developments in Russia, such as the emergence of a form of governance of a more authoritarian nature, do not serve to build trust.
Det som skjer internt i Russland, med fremveksten av et styre med mer autoritære trekk virker ikke tillitskapende.
On the contrary, they serve to consolidate the perception that Russia is still “somewhere else”.
Det forsterker tvert imot en forestilling om at Russland forblir ”et annet sted”.
In the same vein, developments in the relations between Russia and its closest neighbours in its “near abroad” are also important, as they say something about Russia’s willingness to tolerate that states that were once part of the Soviet Union, or part of the Soviet sphere of interest, now have the freedom to choose their own allegiances.
Og langs samme linje; det som skjer i forholdet mellom Russland og landets nærmeste naboer i det nære utland, er også betydningsfullt, fordi det sier noe om Russlands vilje til å tolerere at statene innenfor det tidligere Sovjetunionen, eller i den sovjetiske interessesfære, nå har frihet til å velge egen forankring.
Developments in the relations between Russia and leading NATO and EU members are also important, because Norwegian foreign policy in the High North is about relating to – and influencing – parameters that have developed as a result of the relations between Russia, the US and the EU.
Og det som skjer i forholdet mellom Russland og toneangivende Nato- og EU-land er også viktig, fordi norsk utenrikspolitikk i nordområdene handler om å forholde seg til – og påvirke – rammer som er utformet i trekantforholdet Russland-USA-EU.
This means that our neighbourly relations with Russia – which are important to us in their own right – are also an experience and a landscape that draw Norway towards the centre of European and transatlantic politics.
Dermed er naboforholdet til Russland – som er viktig for oss – samtidig en erfaring og et landskap som trekker Norge inn mot sentrum av europeisk og transatlantisk politikk.
Filling that position is both a challenge and an opportunity for us.
Den plassen er det vår utfordring og vår mulighet å møte.
