The reason we are taking part in the coalition is precisely to combat ISIL and thus reduce the risk of terrorist attacks on Norwegian and European soil. 
En av grunnene til at vi bidrar til koalisjonen er jo nettopp å bekjempe ISIL og dermed redusere faren for terrorangrep mot norsk og europeisk jord.
‘We cannot allow threats from terrorist organisations to dictate our security policy. 
– Vi kan ikke tillate trusler fra terrororganisasjoner å bestemme vår sikkerhetspolitikk.
Fighting ISIL is a long-term investment in our own security,’ said Minister of Defence Ine Eriksen Søreide. 
Bekjempelse av ISIL er en langvarig investering i vår egen sikkerhet, sier forsvarsminister Ine Eriksen Søreide.
‘In 2016 Norway will provide a total of NOK 200 million for stabilisation measures in Iraq and Syria. 
– I 2016 vil Norge bidra med til sammen 200 millioner kroner til stabiliseringstiltak i Irak og i Syria.
It is important to help stabilise vulnerable areas in Iraq and Syria, both in order to assist the civilian population in areas where ISIL has been pushed back, and in order to prevent other extremist groups from gaining a foothold,’ said Mr Brende. 
Det er viktig å bidra til å stabilisere utsatte områder i Irak og Syria.
In Syria there will also be a need for landmine detection, mapping and clearance, once areas are liberated from ISIL. 
I Syria vil det også være behov for kartlegging og minerydding etterhvert som områder frigjøres fra ISIL.
This year, Norway is willing to contribute up to NOK 50 million for this purpose, in addition to its support for stabilisation measures. 
Norge er i år rede til å bidra med opptil 50 millioner utover stabiliseringsstøtten til dette formålet.
Norway will provide NOK 10 billion over the next four years. 
Norge bidrar med 10 milliarder kroner over fire år.
This is Norway’s largest ever humanitarian contribution. 
Dette er det største humanitære bidraget noensinne.

Norway invites election observers 
Noreg inviterer til valobservasjon
“Norway has a vibrant democracy and there is substantial confidence in the Norwegian electoral system. 
- I Noreg har me eit levande demokrati og det norske valsystemet nyt stor tillit.
Nevertheless, it is useful to receive input from international election observers,” says Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Liv Signe Navarsete. 
Det er likevel svært nyttig med innspel frå internasjonale valobservatørar, seier kommunal- og regionalminister Liv Signe Navarsete.
Here they will be information about the Norwegian electoral system and the Internet voting trial, which will be held in 12 municipalities this autumn. 
Her blir dei orientert om det norske valsystemet og forsøket med internettrøysting, som skal gjennomførast i 12 kommunar til hausten.
On the basis of this visit, the OSCE will consider whether they want to send observers for the actual election on 9 September. 
På bakgrunn av besøket vil OSSE vurdere om dei ynskjer å sende observatørar til sjølve valgjennomføringa 9. september.
The Ministry has also invited the OSCE’s Parliamentary Assembly (PA) to observe the election. 
Departementet har også invitert Parlamentarikarforsamlinga (PA) i OSSE til å observere valgjennomføringa.
The OSCE first observed an election in Norway during the 2009 parliamentary election. 
OSSE gjennomførte for første gang valobservasjon her i landet ved stortingsvalet i 2009.
They also sent an expert team to observe the Internet voting trial during the 2011 municipal and county elections. 
Dei sendte også eit ekspertteam for å observere forsøket med internettrøysting ved lokalvalet i 2011.
These reports are also available on our website.

Norway invites OSCE to observe e-voting 
Noreg inviterer OSSE til å observere e-val
It is very important that confidence in the electoral process is maintained also when we cast our votes online," says Minister Liv Signe Navarsete. 
Det er særs viktig at tilliten til val vert oppretthalden også når ein røystar via Internett, seier statsråd Liv Signe Navarsete.
The ability to observe e-elections is naturally different than with traditional voting. 
Mulegheita til å oververe e-val er sjølvsagt annleis enn ved tradisjonell røysting.
In observing e-elections, it is important to focus on the connection between technology and the requirement for secret ballots. 
Ved observasjon av e-val, er det viktig at det blir fokusert på mellom anna samanhengen mellom teknologi og kravet til hemmelig røysting.
"We know that the OSCE is in the process of preparing a manual for observing electronic voting. 
- Vi veit at OSSE er i gang med å lage ei handbok for observasjon av elektronisk røysting.
We hope the pilot project in Norway will help provide useful experience," says Navarsete. 
Vi håpar forsøket i Noreg kan bidra til å gje nyttig erfaring, seier Navarsete.
Norwegian municipalities are obliged to accept the accredited observers and to facilitate the observation of elections. 
Norske kommunar pliktar å ta i mot akkrediterte observatørar og å leggje til rette for valobservasjon.
The OSCE conducted a limited election observation in Norway during the general election of 2009. 
OSSE gjennomførte ein avgrensa valobservasjon i Noreg ved stortingsvalet i 2009.
Their report is available in Norwegian and English (pdf format). 
Deira rapport er tilgjengeleg på norsk og engelsk (pdf-format)
The OSCE is the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and ODIHR is the division within the organization that is responsible for observing elections. 
OSSE er Organisasjonen for sikkerheit og samarbeid i Europa, og ODIHR er den avdelinga i organisasjonen som har ansvar for valobservasjon.

Norway is providing NOK 20 million to earthquake victims in China 
Norge bidrar med 20 millioner til jordskjelvofrene
Norway is engaged in close dialogue with the Chinese authorities following the terrible earthquake that struck the Sichuan province on Monday. 
Norge er i tett dialog med kinesiske myndigheter etter det voldsomme jordskjelvet som rammet Sichuan-provinsen mandag.
The quake measured 7.8 on the Richter scale, and the death toll is rising steadily. 
Skjelvet målte 7,8 på Richters skala, og tallet på omkomne stiger stadig.
But we are willing to contribute equipment and expertise if China needs our help,” Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim commented. 
Men vi vil trå til og hjelpe til med utstyr og kompetanse, dersom Kina har behov for det, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
It is still difficult to transport emergency aid and supplies to the areas that are hardest hit by the quake. 
Det er fortsatt vanskelig å bringe nødhjelp og forsyninger fram til de hardest rammede områdene.
According to the Chinese authorities it is not primarily a lack of food, water, tents or medicines that is hampering the relief efforts. 
Ifølge kinesiske myndigheter er det ikke først og fremst mangel på mat, vann, telt eller medisiner som hindrer hjelpearbeidet.
They are now considering the need for international assistance. 
De vurderer nå behovet for internasjonal bistand.
“The situation in China stands in stark contrast to that in Burma. 
- Situasjonen i Kina står i sterk kontrast til forholdene i Burma.
The authorities in China took immediate action to help the victims of the earthquake. 
Myndighetene tok grep for å hjelpe ofrene umiddelbart etter skjelvet.
Nevertheless, thousands of lives have been lost in the disaster due to the difficult conditions following the quake,” Mr Solheim said. 
Tusenvis av liv har likevel gått tapt i katastrofen på grunn av de vanskelige forholdene etter jordskjelvet, sier Solheim.
“We are prepared to increase the Norwegian funding for this cooperation,” Mr Solheim commented. 
- Vi er innstilt på å øke den norske støtten til dette samarbeidet, sier Solheim.

Norway launches international energy and climate partnership 
Norge lanserer internasjonalt energi- og klimainitiativ
"We need to build political momentum around the energy for all agenda. 
- Vi må skape et politisk momentum for målet om energi for alle.
Energy+ is inspired by the successful program to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). 
Energi- og klimainitiativet er inspirert av det vellykkede programmet for å redusere utslippene som skyldes avskoging og ødeleggelse av skog (REDD).
In turn, this will contribute to energy and job security, improved health, business opportunities for private investors and national economic growth. 
I sin tur vil dette føre til energi- og jobbsikkerhet, bedre helse, forretningsmuligheter for private investorer og økonomisk vekst nasjonalt.
"New energy investments must be results-based. 
- Nye investeringer i energi må være resultatbaserte.
We already have experiences from our support to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation that this creates the right incentives", says Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. 
Fra vår støtte til arbeidet med å redusere utslipp som skyldes avskoging og ødeleggelse av skog, har vi allerede erfaring som viser at dette skaper de riktige insentivene, sier statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
Representatives from more than 60 countries, international organizations, business and civil society organisations take part in the conference.

Norway launches Taxation for Development program 
Nytt program: Skatt for utvikling

The intention has never been that taxes in recipient countries should be replaced by aid,” said Ms Fiskaa. 
Det har aldri vore tanken at bistand skulle erstatte skattar og avgifter i mottakarlanda, seier Fiskaa.
Zambia, Mozambique and Tanzania are the first three countries Norway is cooperating with in this field. 
Zambia, Mosambik og Tanzania er dei første tre landa Noreg samarbeider med innanfor dette feltet.
State Secretary Fiskaa presented the programme launch at the Development House in Oslo. 
Fiskaa presenterte den nye programsatsingen på Utviklingshuset i Oslo.
Many poor countries are rich in natural resources, which are exploited by international companies at a great profit. 
Mange land med stor fattigdom er rike på naturressursar.
However, very little of this wealth and value creation benefits the countries concerned in the form of tax revenues. 
Men lite av denne rikdomen og verdiskapinga kjem landa til gode i form av skatt.
“In many cases the problem is that exemptions create huge loopholes in their tax systems. 
– Problemet er ofte at ei rad unntak skapar store hol i skattesystema.
Many companies and individuals pay almost no tax. 
Mange selskap og enkeltpersonar betaler nesten ikkje skatt.
If the rich get away with paying little or no tax, there is little incentive for others to pay their share,” said Ms Fiskaa. 
Dersom dei rike slepp unna med lav eller ingen skatt, er det lite motiverande for andre å bidra, seier Fiskaa.
In Norway tax revenues account for 44% of GDP. 
I Noreg utgjer skatteinntekter 44 prosent av brutto nasjonalprodukt (BNP).
In many poor countries in Africa, they account for less than 15%. 
I mange fattige land i Afrika er andelen under 15 prosent.
State Secretary Fiskaa hopes that the Tax for Development programme will help to improve tax collection in Norway’s partner countries and foster greater political engagement. 
Fiskaa håpar at Skatt for utvikling-programmet kan styrke innkrevjinga av skattar i samarbeidslanda og samstundes skape større politisk engasjement:
