Broad support for negotiations on a ban on cluster munitions
Bred støtte til forhandlinger om forbud mot klasevåpen

CO2-compensation scheme for manufacturing industry
CO2-kompensasjonsordning for industrien
The Norwegian Government will establish a CO2-compensation scheme for the manufacturing industry.
Regjeringen vil etablere en CO2 kompensasjonsordning for industrien.
The purpose is to prevent Norwegian manufacturing industry from moving their enterprises to countries with less strict climate regulations.
Formålet er å hindre at norsk industri flytter sin virksomhet til land med en mindre aktiv klimapolitikk.
The CO2-compensation scheme will prevent such leakages.
CO2-kompensasjonsordningen skal motvirke en slik utvikling.
The scheme will be administrated by the Climate and Pollution Agency (Klif).
Den nye ordningen skal forvaltes av Klima- og forurensingsdirektoratet (Klif).
The introduction of the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in 2005 has led to an increase in electricity prices in Norway.
Etableringen av kvotesystemet i EU i 2005 har gitt økte kraftpriser i Norge.
This has led to a weakening of the competitiveness of Norwegian enterprises as compared to enterprises in countries without equally strict climate regulations.
Dette har bidratt til å svekke industriens konkurranseevne sammenlignet med virksomheter i land uten slik klimaregulering.
A well-designed CO2-compensastion scheme in a transitional period will contribute to this goal, says Minister of Trade and Industry Trond Giske.
Den vil også bidra til å styrke bredden i industrien, sier nærings- og handelsminister Trond Giske.
The EU has passed state aid guidelines that allows for CO2-compensation.
EU har vedtatt retningslinjer for statsstøtte som åpner for CO2-kompensasjon.
The aim is to achieve greater global reductions in emissions by preventing carbon leakage from European industry to countries with less strict climate regulations.
Formålet er å oppnå større globale utslippsreduksjoner ved å hindre karbonlekkasje fra industrien i Europa til land med mindre stram klimapolitikk.
Norway is among the first to announce a framework for a national CO2-compensation scheme.
Norge er tidlig ute når det gjelder å utforme en nasjonal CO2-kompensasjonsordning.
Facts about the scheme
Fakta om ordningen
The Norwegian CO2-compensation scheme will be closely based on the calculation method presented in the guidelines.
Den norske CO2-kompensasjonsordningen vil knyttes tett opp mot metoden for beregning av støtte som angis i EUs retningslinjer.
The extent of the scheme may vary considerably from year to year depending on the future carbon price.
Omfanget av ordningen vil kunne variere fra år til år avhengig av utviklingen i kvoteprisen.
The scheme will apply for the period 1.7.2013-31.12.2020.
Ordningen skal gjelde for perioden 1.7.2013-31.12.2020.
It includes all 15 sectors listed in the EU’s state aid guidelines.
Den omfatter alle 15 sektorene som i henhold til EUs retningslinjer er støtteberettigede.
These include among others producers of aluminum, ferroalloys, chemical products and paper.
Dette inkluderer blant annet produsenter av aluminium, ferrolegeringer, kjemiske produkter og treforedling.
According to the state aid guidelines compensation can only be given to power contracts that include CO2-costs.
Det kan ifølge retningslinjene bare gis kompensasjon til langsiktige kraftavtaler som har CO2-kostnader.
Thus, the scheme is limited and will only include power contracts concluded in 2005, the year which the EU ETSs was established.
Ordningen er derfor avgrenset til å gjelde kraftavtaler inngått fra og med 2005, året da kvotesystemet ble etablert.
The industry’s own power generation will be deducted when calculating the amount of individual compensation.
Industriens egen kraftproduksjon skal komme til fratrekk i utbetalingen av støtte.
For these enterprises the generation capacity constitutes a long-term assurance against the CO2-cost in the power prices.
For disse virksomhetene utgjør egenkraften en langsiktig sikring mot CO2-påslaget i kraftprisen.
In line with the state aid guidelines, the year with lowest activity level will be excluded from the basis of calculation.
I beregningen av støtte skal året i referanseperioden med lavest aktivitetsnivå kunne tas ut.
The scheme will be notified to EFTA Surveillance Authority ESA before it will be operative.
Ordningen skal notifiseres til EFTAs overvåkningsorgan ESA før den gjøres operativ.
Some of the elements in the guidelines are still undecided.
Ikke alle elementene i retningslinjene er på plass ennå.
The European Commission has stated that it in autumn 2012 will present energy efficiency benchmarks for calculating the level of compensation.
Europakommisjonen har varslet at den i løpet av høsten 2012 vil legge frem energieffektivitetsstandarder som skal anvendes i støtteberegningen for de ulike sektorene.
All of our NGO programmes are actively engaged in the campaign which runs until the end of 2014.
Alle NGO-programmene er engasjert i kampanjen som løper til utgangen av 2014.
