The Norwegian authorities call for the release of the Bahraini human rights defender Nabeel Rajab,’ said State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Bård Glad Pedersen. 
- Norske myndigheter ber om at den bahrainske MR-forkjemperen Nabeel Rajab løslates, sier statssekretær Bård Glad Pedersen.
Following a visit to Europe to draw attention to the human rights situation in Bahrain, Mr Rajab returned to Bahrain on 1 October 2014. 
Etter en reise i Europa for å sette lys på menneskerettighetssituasjonen i Bahrain, vendte Rajab tilbake til Bahrain 2. oktober 2014.

This amounts to 0.1 percent of the value of the agricultural seeds and plant material trade in Norway in 2015. 
Dette tilsvarer 0,1 prosent av verdien av såvarer og plantemateriale omsatt i jordbruket i Norge i 2015.
This annual contribution from Norwegian agriculture is made in recognition of the contribution which farmers in developing countries are making to preserve plant diversity. 
Bidraget er et årlig håndslag fra norsk jordbruk til bønder i utviklingsland som bevarer plantemangfold.
– Gene resources are the basis for all food production, and it is important to preserve the genetic diversity both in gene banks and on farmers' fields. 
– Genressurser er basisen for all matproduksjon, og det er viktig å ta vare på det genetiske mangfoldet både i genbanker og i bondens åker.

Norway also actively supports the International Plant Treaty, providing an annual contribution to the Fund for benefit sharing, State Secretary Ms Hanne Maren Blaafjelldal said. 
I tillegg støtter Norge aktivt Den internasjonale plantetraktaten og gir årlig et bidrag til Fondet for fordelsdeling, sier statssekretær Hanne Maren Blåfjelldal.
In the fall of 2015 Ms Blaafjelldal participated as representatives from the Quechua people of Peru deposited potato seeds in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. 
I fjor høst deltok Blåfjelldal da representanter fra Quechua-folket i Peru deponerte potetfrø i Svalbard Globale frøhvelv.
Communities of Quechua people have been recipients of funds from the Fund for benefit sharing. 
Lokalsamfunn fra Quechua-folket har vært mottakerne av midler fra Fondet for fordelsdeling.
Through this project they could return from the international potato gene bank with virus free varieties that they had ceased to cultivate, but which due to climate change now yield better crops. 
Gjennom dette prosjektet fikk de brakt tilbake virusfrie sorter fra den internasjonale potetgenbanken som de hadde sluttet å dyrke, men som på grunn av klimaendringer nå gir bedre avlinger.
Farmers' contribution 
Bønders bidrag
Farmers in developing countries have a particularly important role, because the greatest diversity of plant gene diversity of crops like potato, barley and wheat are found in their fields. 
Bønder i utviklingsland har en særskilt viktig rolle fordi det største plantegenetiske mangfoldet av kulturplanter som potet, bygg og hvete finnes i deres åkre.
