-The Norwegian Government wants to contribute to UN peacekeeping operations, and I am proud of the fact that a Norwegian officer has been asked to lead the UN operation in Cyprus, says Norwegian Minister of Defence Ine Eriksen Søreide. 
Norge ønsker å bidra til FNs fredsbevarende operasjoner, og jeg er stolt over at en norsk offiser skal lede FN-styrken på Kypros videre, sier forsvarsminister Ine Eriksen Søreide.
No previous UN operation has had a female force commander. 
Ingen tidligere FN-operasjoner har hatt en kvinnelig styrkesjef.
UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security emphasizes the need for increased female participation in international operations. 
FNs sikkerhetsrådsresolusjon 1325 om kvinner, fred og sikkerhet legger vekt på behovet for økt kvinnelig deltagelse i internasjonale operasjoner.
-Major General Lund is first and foremost an able and experienced officer. 
-Kristin Lund er først og fremst en dyktig og erfaren offiser.
That Major General Lund will be a force commander is therefore an important signal and a milestone for UN peacekeeping operations, said the Minister of Defence. 
At generalmajor Kristin Lund blir styrkesjef er et viktig signal og en milepæl for FNs fredsbevarende operasjoner, sier forsvarsministeren.
Examples of such positions include Norway's chief of staff positions with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) (in rotation with the United Kingdom) and the UN observer mission in the Middle East (UNTSO). 
Blant annet har Norge stabssjefsstillingen i FN-operasjonen i Sør-Sudan (UNMISS) på rotasjon med Storbritannia og stabssjefsstillingen i FNs observatørmisjon i Midtøsten (UNTSO).
In addition Major General Robert Mood served as head of the UN mission in Syria (UNSMIS) in 2012. 
I tillegg tjenestegjorde generalmajor Robert Mood som sjef for FNs misjon i Syria (UNSMIS) i 2012.
Norway currently also contributes a military vessel to the UN/OPCW-operation to extract chemical weapons from Syria. 
Norge stiller nå med et militært fartøy i FN/OPWC operasjonen for å hente ut kjemivåpen fra Syria.
The mandate of the mission was later expanded to include monitoring of the 1974 ceasefire, and to form a buffer zone between the two warring parties. 
Mandatet ble senere utvidet til å omfatte overvåkning av våpenhvilen i 1974, samt utgjøre en buffersone mellom de to stridene parter.
The mandate of UNFICYP has been regularly renewed in the absence of a political solution to the conflict. 
Mandatet til UNFICYP har blitt regelmessig fornyet i fravær av en politisk løsning på konflikten.
UNFYCIP currently consists of about 900 uniformed personnel and is headed by a U.S. Special Representative (SRSG) and a Chinese force commander. 
UNFYCIP består i dag av om lag 900 uniformert personell, og ledes av en amerikansk spesialrepresentant (SRSG) og en kinesisk styrkesjef.
Currently 13 countries contribute military personnel to the mission, with Argentina, Britain, Slovakia, Hungary and Serbia as the largest contributors. 
13 land bidrar med militært personell, der henholdsvis Argentina, Storbritannia, Slovakia, Ungarn og Serbia er de største bidragsyterne.

Press release from the Norwegian Technical Calculation Committee for Wage Settlements 
Pressemelding fra Det tekniske beregningsutvalget for inntektsoppgjørene
The Norwegian Technical Calculation Committee for Wage Settlements has released their preliminary report on the basis for wage settlements in 2009. 
Det tekniske beregningsutvalget for inntektsoppgjørene (TBU) presenterer her sin forløpige rapport for 2009.
The basis for wage settlements in 2009 – preliminary report. 
Om grunnlaget for inntektsoppgjørene 2009 - foreløpig rapport
The report is based partly on preliminary figures and estimates for 2008. 
Rapporten bygger delvis på foreløpige tall og anslag for 2008.
The wage carry-over into 2009 is estimated to average 2¼ per cent, about ¼ percentage point higher than into 2008. 
Lønnsoverhenget til 2009 anslås i gjennomsnitt til 2¼ prosent, om lag ¼ prosentpoeng høyere enn til 2008.
The wage carry-over into 2009 varies from 0.9 per cent for employees at firms affiliated to the Federation of Norwegian Commercial and Service Enterprises (Handels- og Servicenæringens Hovedorganisasjon, HSH) in retail trade to 3⅓ per cent in the central government sector. 
Lønnsoverhenget til 2009 varierer fra 0,9 prosent for ansatte i HSH-bedrifter i varehandel til 3⅓ prosent i staten.
In the local government sector already agreed increments for 2009 bring wage growth of 2 percentage points in this sector from 2008 to 2009. 
I KS-området er det allerede avtalt tillegg for 2009 som i dette området bidrar til årslønnsveksten fra 2008 til 2009 med 2 prosentpoeng.
The increment pushes up wage growth for the entire economy by about 0.3 percentage points from 2008 to 2009. 
Tillegget drar opp lønnsveksten for hele økonomien fra 2008 til 2009 med om lag 0,3 prosentpoeng.
Growth in executive wage in 2008 in industries for which wage statistics are available was consistently clearly higher than for wage earners in general. 
Veksten i lederlønningene i 2008 i de næringene det foreligger lønnsstatistikk for, var gjennomgående klart høyere enn for lønnstakerne ellers.
For managing directors and others with managerial functions in the financial industry, wage growth averaged as much as 28.6 per cent. 
For administrerende direktører og andre med lederfunksjoner i finansnæringen, var lønnsveksten i gjennomsnitt hele 28,6 prosent.
Bonuses are included in these figures, whereas options and benefits in kind are not included. 
Bonuser inngår i disse tallene, mens opsjons- og naturalytelser er ikke med.
Real after-tax wage for wage earners as a whole increased by 2.0 per cent from 2007 to 2008 compared with 4.5 per cent the previous year. 
Reallønn etter skatt for lønnstakere i alt økte med 2,0 prosent fra 2007 til 2008, mot 4,5 prosent året før.
The decrease is largely related to appreciably higher price growth in 2008 than the previous year. 
Nedgangen har i stor grad sammenheng med klart høyere prisvekst i 2008 enn året før.
The Committee estimates an average price growth of about 2 per cent from 2008 to 2009, down from 3.8 per cent the previous year. 
Utvalget anslår en gjennomsnittlig prisvekst på om lag 2 prosent fra 2008 til 2009, en nedgang fra 3,8 prosent fra året før.
The uncertainty in the estimate for 2009 relates above all to the krone exchange rate ahead, which will affect prices of consumer imports, and energy prices. 
Usikkerheten i prisvekstanslaget for 2009 er blant annet knyttet til utviklingen i kronekursen fremover, som vil påvirke prisene på importerte konsumvarer, samt utviklingen i energiprisene.
Cost competitiveness in manufacturing, measured by relative hourly wage costs for manual manufacturing employees in a common currency, has weakened over the past few years. 
Den kostnadsmessige konkurranseevnen for industrien, målt ved relative timelønnskostnader for industriarbeidere i felles valuta, har svekket seg de siste årene.
From 2007 to 2008 the weakening is put at 1.9 per cent. 
Fra 2007 til 2008 anslås svekkelsen til 1,9 prosent.
Contributory factors are a far quicker increase in wage costs in Norway compared with our trading partners and appreciation of the Norwegian currency. 
Dette skyldtes både at lønnskostnadene økte raskere i Norge enn hos handelspartnerne og at kronen styrket seg.
For manual manufacturing employees alone Norwegian costs are estimated to be 43 per cent higher than among Norway’s trading partners. 
For industriarbeidere alene anslås de norske timelønnskostnadene å ligge 43 prosent over handelspartnernes.
