Arctic Council welcomes new observers 
Arktisk råd ønsker nye observatører velkommen
National statement by Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide 
Utenriksministerens innlegg på Arktisk råds ministermøte
National Transport Plan 2014-2023: 50 per cent increase 
NTP: Nasjonal transportplan 2014-2023: 50 prosent økning
“The economic framework will be increased by roughly 50 per cent and the planned measures will ensure we get more out of every krone invested. 
- De økonomiske rammene økes med om lag 50 prosent og vi tar grep som skal sikre at vi får mer igjen for hver samferdselskrone.
The result will be a transport system that is simpler, quicker and safer,” says Minister of Transport and Communications Marit Arnstad. 
Dette vil gi oss et transportsystem som er enklere, raskere og sikrere, sier samferdselsminister Marit Arnstad.
The plan is to spend around NOK 311 billion on roads, NOK 168 billion on the railways, almost NOK 9.23 billion to encourage better public transport systems and more environmentally friendly urban transport solutions and NOK 19.4 billion on coastal transport schemes in the period 2014-2023. 
Det legges opp til å bruke vel 311 milliarder kroner på veg, 168 milliarder kroner på jernbane, nær 9,23 milliard kroner på belønningsordningen og 19,4 milliarder kroner på kystformål i perioden 2014-2023.
This distribution of funds is based on a differentiated transport policy which takes into consideration the fact that different forms of transport have different characteristics and that different parts of the country have different transport needs. 
Til grunn for denne fordelingen ligger en differensiert transportpolitikk som tar hensyn til at de ulike transportformene har ulike egenskaper og at det er forskjellige transportbehov i ulike deler av landet.
NOK 311 billion on roads The Government plans to spend NOK 311 billion on roads in the period. 
311 milliarder kroner til veg
NOK 177 billion is planned for investment in the national road network, including NOK 8.7 billion for protection against rockslides. 
177 milliarder kroner går til investeringer på riksvegnettet, inkludert 8,7 milliarder kroner til skredsikring.
This is almost 70 per cent more that agreed in the national budget for 2013. 
Dette er nær 70 prosent høyere enn nivået i saldert budsjett for 2013.
The Government will develop the transport corridors that bind the regions together, and develop the Norwegian road network to provide longer interconnected stretches of a good standard. 
Regjeringen vil utvikle transportkorridorer som binder landsdeler sammen, og utvikle det norske vegnettet slik at lengre sammenhengende strekninger får god standard.
We will therefore prioritise the E6, E10, E16, E18, E39 and E134 routes. 
Forbindelsene E6, E10, E16, E18, E39 og E134 er derfor prioritert.
Reducing journey times is important for regional development. 
Reisetidsreduksjoner er viktig for regional utvikling.
The schemes in the report to the Storting will give reduced journey times in the plan period. 
Tiltakene i meldingen vil gi reduserte reisetider i planperioden.
Since 2005, the journey time for the E39 has been reduced by 50 minutes. 
Siden 2005 er reisetiden på E39 redusert med 50 minutter.
The projects that will now be realised will reduce this journey time by a further 1.5 hours. 
Prosjektene som nå skal realiseres, gjør at reisetiden reduseres med ytterligere 1,5 time.
The journey time on the E6 will be reduced considerably, the journey time between Oslo and Bergen (E16) will be reduced by 30 minutes, and the journey time on the E18 by 20 minutes. 
Reisetiden på E6 vil bli betydelig redusert, E16 Oslo - Bergen får redusert kjøretid på 30 minutter og reisetiden på E18 reduseres med 20 minutter.
Around NOK 105 billion is allocated for operating and maintaining the national road network. 
Vel 105 milliarder kroner er satt av til drift og vedlikehold av riksveger.
The average annual allocation for operation and maintenance will be almost 20 per cent higher than in 2013. 
Årlige gjennomsnittsbevilgninger til drift og vedlikehold vil ligge nesten 20 prosent høyere enn i 2013.
The counties have prioritised the road network they took over from the State in 2010. 
Fylkene har prioritert vegnettet som de tok over fra staten i 2010.
The Government nonetheless realises that the counties will not be able to deal with the maintenance lag without extraordinary funding from the State. 
Regjeringen ser likevel at fylkene ikke vil greie å ta igjen vedlikeholdsetterslepet på fylkesvegnettet uten ekstraordinær statlig finansiering.
Thus, we are increasing the framework grant to the county municipalities by NOK 10bn in the 10-year period. 
Derfor styrkes rammetilskuddet til fylkeskommunene med 10 milliarder kroner i 10-årsperioden.
There will also be an annual framework grant for protecting the county road network against rockslides, and almost NOK 2.3 billion to the interest compensation arrangement for transport schemes in the counties. 
I tillegg legges det opp til en årlig tilskuddsramme til rassikring på fylkesvegnettet, og nær 2,3 milliarder kroner til rentekompensasjonsordningen for transporttiltak i fylkene.
“Investment in protecting against rockslides has never been higher than it will be in the next 10-year period. 
- Innsatsen på skredsikring har aldri vært høyre enn den vil bli i kommende 10-årsperiode.
We are more than fulfilling our promise in NTP 2010-2019 for granting NOK 1 billion a year to rockslide protection. 
Vi mer enn oppfyller løftet vårt i NTP 2010-2019 om å bevilge 1 milliard kroner til rassikring per år.
The total investment per year for the county and national road networks will be on average NOK 1.5 billion a year,” says Minister of Transport and Communications Marit Arnstad. 
Samlet innsats per år for fylkes- og riksvegnettet vil være på gjennomsnittlig 1,5 milliarder kroner i året, sier samferdselsminister Arnstad.
An average of NOK 16.8 billion a year constitutes an increase of almost 49 per cent compared with 2013. 
Et årlig gjennomsnitt på 16,8 milliarder kroner utgjør en økning på nær 49 prosent, sammenlignet med 2013-nivå.
Planned investments amount to around NOK 92 billion. 
Til investeringer er det lagt til grunn om lag 92 milliarder kroner.
Of this, NOK 58 billion is allocated to the building of almost 167 kilometres of double track railway on the InterCity stretches in Eastern Norway. 
Av dette er 58 milliarder satt av til utbygging av nær 167 kilometer dobbeltspor på InterCity-strekningene på Østlandet.
By 2024, Oslo will be connected by double track lines with Tønsberg in Vestfold, Hamar to the north and Seut in Fredrikstad to the south. 
Innen 2024 skal det være ferdigstilt sammenhengende dobbeltspor fra Oslo til Tønsberg, Hamar og Seut i Fredrikstad.
This means that the journey time from Oslo to these three towns will be reduced by 20-30 minutes respectively, to a journey time of about an hour or less. 
Det betyr at reisetiden fra Oslo til disse tre byene blir redusert med 20-30 minutter på hver strekning, til en reisetid på rundt en time eller mindre.
“In 2005 we had 220 kilometres of double track railway. 
- I 2005 hadde vi 220 kilometer dobbeltsporet jernbane.
Today this is increased to 247 kilometres. 
I dag er dette økt til 247 kilometer.
By 2024 we will have 424 kilometres and in 2026 443 kilometres. 
I 2024 vil vi ha 424 kilometer, i 2026 vil vi ha 443 kilometer.
We are thus talking about doubling the length of double track railway in the plan period,” says the Minister of Transport and Communications Marit Arnstad. 
Vi snakker altså om en dobling! sier samferdselsministeren.
In terms of goods traffic, NOK 3.5 billion is planned earmarked for the Alnabru goods terminal in Oslo. 
På godssiden er det satt av 3,5 milliarder kroner til Alnabruterminalen.
In addition, the Government also plans to allocate around NOK 1.5 billion for the Ringerike Line, with work starting at the end of the plan period. 
Regjeringen setter dessuten av rundt 1,5 milliarder kroner til Ringeriksbanen, med oppstart i slutten av planperioden.
NOK 3.9 billion will go to modernising the Trønder and Meråker lines, and NOK 1.6 billion for increasing the capacity on the Ofot Line. 
3,9 milliarder kroner går til modernisering av Trønderbanen og Meråkerbanen.
Around NOK 76 billion is allocated to operation and maintenance. 
Til drift og vedlikehold settes av om lag 76 milliarder kroner.
The average amount spent annually on operation and maintenance will thus by 46 per cent higher than agreed in the national budgeted for 2013. 
Det årlige gjennomsnittet til drift og vedlikehold vil dermed ligge 46 prosent over saldert budsjett 2013.
Since 2005 the number of accidents resulting in death or serious injury has been reduced by 30 per cent while the volume of traffic on the roads has increased by around 12 per cent. 
Siden 2005 er tallet på drepte og hardt skadde redusert med 30 prosent, samtidig som det har vært en trafikkvekst på om lag 12 prosent.
This reduction is the result of a systematic and targeted road safety effort, with focus on schemes that have been tried and tested. 
Reduksjonen i ulykker er et resultat av systematisk og målrettet trafikksikkerhetsarbeid, med satsing på tiltak som har dokumentert effekt.
NTP 2014-2023 includes an average annual framework of NOK 1.37 billion for special road safety schemes. 
Nasjonal transportplan 2014-2023 inneholder en gjennomsnittlig årlig ramme på 1,37 milliarder kroner til særskilte trafikksikkerhetstiltak.
In addition, the planned spend on footpaths and cycle tracks will be doubled to NOK 8.2 billion within and beyond the urban areas. 
I tillegg skal bevilgningene til gang- og sykkelveger dobles, til 8,2 milliarder kroner i og utenfor byområdene.
The aim is for the cycling segment to increase from 4 to 8 per cent. 
Målet er at andelen som sykler skal økes fra 4 til 8 prosent.
The railways will have a more important role to play in the transport system because of the major increase in investments. 
Jernbanen vil få en viktigere rolle i transportsystemet på grunn av den store økningen i investeringene.
“I am delighted we are now launching a new arrangement with general urban environment agreements, with greater decision-making powers locally, stricter requirements for environmental goals and more money for urban transport. 
- Jeg er svært fornøyd med at vi nå lanserer en ny ordning med helhetlige bymiljøavtaler, med stor lokal handlefrihet, strenge krav til miljømål og mer penger til tiltak i byområdene.
Environmentally friendly solutions with greater investment in public transport, pedestrians and cyclists are also far cheaper than car-based solutions. 
Miljøløsninger med større investeringer i kollektivtrafikk, gange og sykkel er dessuten langt billigere enn bilbaserte løsninger.
I am pleased that the National Transport Plan is preparing for increased investment in this area. 
Jeg er glad for at Nasjonal transportplan nå legger opp til økt satsing på dette området.
This will give us cities with better environments, improved traffic flow and not least greater prosperity and well-being,” says Minister of the Environment Bård Vegar Solhjell. 
Det vil gi oss byer med bedre miljø, økt fremkommelighet og ikke minst økt trivsel, sier miljøvernminister Bård Vegar Solhjell.
Improving efficiency is therefore a key element in NTP 2014-2023. 
Effektivisering er derfor en sentral del av Nasjonal transportplan 2014-2023.
Time spent planning will be reduced. 
Planleggingstiden skal ned.
Major transport projects will be financed in a new way to ensure rational implementation. 
Store samferdselsprosjekter skal finansieres på en ny måte for å sikre rasjonell gjennomføring.
The transport infrastructure will be developed more consistently and government agencies will work more effectively,” says Minister of Transport and Communications Marit Arnstad. 
Det skal bygges mer sammenhengende og etatene skal effektiviseres, sier samferdselsministeren.
The challenge is that a number of new projects are far larger in scope than previous projects. 
Utfordringen er at en rekke nye prosjekter er langt større enn tidligere.
Building these in a piecemeal manner is expensive, and we need a financing model that ensures rational construction. 
Det er dyrt å bygge disse i rykk og napp, og vi trenger en finansieringsmodell som sikrer rasjonell bygging.
Thus, the Government is introducing an arrangement where prioritised projects will receive more predictable and secure financing, within today’s budget system. 
Regjeringen innfører derfor en ordning hvor prioriterte prosjekter får mer forutsigbar og sikker finansiering, innenfor dagens budsjettsystem.
This will ensure that funding is determined by the progress being made in a project and not the other way round,” explains Minister of Transport and Communications Marit Arnstad. 
Det vil sikre at det er fremdriften i prosjektene som bestemmer bevilgningene, ikke omvendt, sier samferdselsminister Marit Arnstad.
When the Norwegian parliament (Storting) approves a project it will also determine when the project shall be completed. 
Når Stortinget vedtar prosjektet, vedtar de også når det skal være ferdigstilt.
At the same time, the Storting will give the go ahead for entering into contracts within the cost framework agreed. 
Samtidig gjøres det vedtak som betyr at det kan inngås kontrakter innenfor den vedtatte kostnadsrammen.
Among the candidates for this new arrangement are the InterCity projects, E39 projects, and electrification of the Trønder Line. 
Blant kandidatene til den nye ordningen er InterCity-prosjektene, prosjekter på E39, E10, og elektrifisering av Trønderbanen.
“The Government has always been interested in ensuring that projects are implemented as effectively as possible. 
Regjeringen har hele tiden vært opptatt av å sikre at prosjekt bygges så effektivt som mulig.
A good, safe and efficient aviation system is important for population growth, employment and industrial development in both rural Norway and the urban conurbations,” says Minister of Transport and Communications Marit Arnstad. 
Et godt, sikkert og effektivt flytilbud er viktig for bosetting, sysselsetting og næringsutvikling både i distrikts-Norge og i sentrale strøk, sier samferdselsministeren.
In the next 10-year period, the Government plans to maintain and develop a decentralised airport network. 
Regjeringen vil i neste tiårsperiode opprettholde og videreutvikle et desentralisert lufthavnnett.
The Government will also continue purchasing regional aviation services. 
Ordningen med statlig kjøp av regionale flyrutetjenester videreføres.
Avinor will be guaranteed framework conditions that will enable the company to carry out its duties and tasks satisfactorily. 
Avinor skal sikres rammebetingelser som gjør selskapet i stand til å løse sine oppgaver.
These framework conditions will be clarified in a White Paper currently being prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. 
Samferdselsdepartementet arbeider nå med en stortingsmelding om virksomheten i Avinor.
