In our reply to NATO we will make it clear that Norway will not be making any further military contributions in 2007 beyond what has now been announced, Foreign Minister Støre said in his address to the Storting on 13 February. 
I forbindelse med tilbakemeldingen til Nato, vil vi gjøre det klart at Norge ikke vil komme med ytterligere militære bidrag i 2007 utover det som nå er gjort kjent, sa utenriksminister Støre bl.a. i sin redegjørelse for Stortinget 13. februar.
Translation from the Norwegian 
Sjekkes mot fremføring.
In times of change, contrasts can often be illustrated by snapshots from different periods. 
I forandringens tid så kan tidsbilder tydeliggjøre kontrastene.
When I did my military service in the Navy between 1979 and 1981, the Cold War was still on. 
Da jeg avtjente min militærtjeneste i marinen fra 1979 til 1981 opplevde vi kald krig.
I remember two episodes that made a deep impression on me. 
Jeg husker to episoder som gjorde særlig inntrykk.
One was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. 
Den ene var den sovjetiske invasjonen i Afghanistan.
The other was the strikes at the Polish shipyards on the Baltic and the mounting tension caused by them. 
Den andre var den økte spenningen som følge av streikene ved de polske skipsverftene ved Østersjøen.
I remember the Norwegian Navy was put on heightened alert. 
Jeg husker at den norske marinen innførte skjerpet beredskap.
Today the Soviet Union is history. 
I dag er Sovjetunionen historie.
In the north, new agendas are being set for cooperation in such a broad range of fields as energy, fisheries, the environment, climate change, industry, research and education, tourism, infrastructure, Arctic agriculture, culture, health, and justice and home affairs. 
I nord settes ny dagsorden for samarbeid innen et så bredt virkeområde som energi, fiskeri, miljø, klima, industri, forskning og utdanning, reiseliv, infrastruktur og arktisk landbruk, kultur, helse og på justisområdet.
The road travelled by Poland illustrates Europe’s transformation. 
Polens vei illustrerer Europas omforming.
Poland is now a member of NATO and the EU, and one of our partners in the EEA. 
Polen er medlem av Nato og EU og vår partner i EØS.
The sons and daughters of the Polish shipyard workers of yesterday are today doing work that is in high demand in Norway. 
Sønner og døtre av gårsdagens polske verftsarbeidere gjør i dag høyt etterspurt arbeid i Norge.
And NATO, which was created to safeguard transatlantic security during the Cold War, is engaged in its most important operation ever. 
Og Nato, som ble skapt for å ivareta transatlantisk sikkerhet under den kalde krigen, står oppe i sin viktigste operasjon noen sinne.
The cost of occupation became too high. 
Byrdene ble for store.
But the costs to the Afghan people continued through new decades of civil war and suffering. 
Men byrdene for det afghanske folk fortsatte gjennom nye tiår med borgerkrig og lidelser.
This provided fertile ground for the Taliban. 
På slik grunn fikk Taliban slå rot.
It was here 9/11 was planned. 
Herfra ble ’11. september’ planlagt.
For the first time ever, NATO invoked Article 5, which states that an attack against one of the parties shall be considered an attack against them all. 
For første gang erklærte Nato at vi hadde en artikkel 5 – situasjon – at et angrep på en alliert var å anse som et angrep på alle.
In Afghanistan, not only NATO, but the entire the international community, is now facing a task that combines some of the key challenges of our time: poverty, weak state structures, a weak national economy, extremist rebel groups and a high crime rate – all of them threats to a proud and dignified people with a rich culture. 
I Afghanistan møter ikke bare Nato – men hele det internasjonale samfunn i dag – en stor oppgave som kombinerer mange av vår tids nøkkelutfordringer: Fattigdom, svak statsstruktur, svak nasjonaløkonomi, ekstremistiske opprørsgrupper, høy kriminalitet – alt sammen trusler mot et stolt og verdig folk med en rik kultur.
The situation is a threat to the Afghan people. 
Situasjonen setter Afghanistans folk i fare.
But it is also a threat to security in our society. 
Men den setter også trygghet i fare i våre samfunn.
This situation has a direct effect on us. 
Situasjonen angår oss direkte.
It is a paradox that conflicts located far beyond our own borders – like Afghanistan, the Middle East, Sudan and Somalia – are affecting our own society more directly than did the Cold War during the 40 years it lasted. 
Det er et paradoks at konflikter som ligger langt fra våre egne grenser, som Afghanistan, Midtøsten, Sudan og Somalia, samtidig griper mer direkte inn i våre egne samfunn enn den kalde krigens anspente situasjon gjorde gjennom 40 år.
The Cold War is history, primarily because both East and West – and not least Washington – opted to make dialogue their main tool. 
Den kalde krigen er historie, først og fremst fordi man i øst og vest – og ikke minst i Washington – valgte å gjøre dialogen til hovedredskap.
Dialogue, based on firmness and strength – including military force – was at the core of a policy of engagement that facilitated the détente with China, the conclusion of historic disarmament agreements, and the democratisation in Central and Eastern Europe. 
Dialog, basert på fasthet og styrke, også militært, utgjorde en engasjementspolitikk som bidro til åpningen mot Kina, inngåelse av historiske nedrustningsavtaler og demokratiets gjennombrudd i Sentral- og Øst-Europa.
Europe showed the way itself in many ways, beginning with Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik in the 1960s followed by the establishment of the CSCE, which would later become the OSCE. 
Ja, Europa viste på mange måter selv vei med Willy Brandts østpolitikk fra 1960-tallet og etableringen av KSSE og senere OSSE.
Today’s world lacks a defining order. 
I dag mangler verden en definerende orden.
Borders are no longer impermeable, and the concept of deterrence has changed. 
Grenser er ikke ugjennomtrengelige og begrepet avskrekking har ikke den samme mening.
The complex interaction of a wide range of measures is required to resolve the conflicts we are facing. 
Løsningen av konfliktene setter krav til et komplisert samspill av en rekke virkemidler.
We should not have excessive faith in what military force alone can achieve. 
Det rekker ikke med overdreven tro på hva militære maktmidler alene kan utrette.
We need to return to a policy of engagement in order to master this interaction. 
Det er behov for å finne tilbake til engasjementspolitikken for å mestre dette samspillet.
In my address, Mr President, I will concentrate on the challenges related to Afghanistan, the Middle East and the High North. 
I denne redegjørelsen, President, har jeg valgt å legge hovedvekt på utfordringene knyttet til henholdsvis Afghanistan, Midtøsten og nordområdene.
These are key challenges that are also relevant to how we formulate our foreign policy in many new other areas, such as energy and climate change. 
Her møter vi sentrale utfordringer som samtidig berører hvordan vi innretter utenrikspolitikken på mange andre nye områder – som innen energi og klima.
As for the EEA and Norway’s relations with the rest of Europe, the debate later on today will provide opportunity for in-depth discussion. 
Og la meg si, siden dette ikke vil være tema for redegjørelsen; når det gjelder EØS og Norges forhold til Europa, vil debatten senere i dag gi tid til fordypning.
I would like to briefly underline that we are currently in a negotiation process concerning the enlargement of the EEA. 
La meg her kort understreke at vi er nå i en forhandlingsprosess om å utvide også EØS-området.
These negotiations have not been concluded, but our aim is to reach political agreement on the outstanding issues as soon as possible. 
Forhandlingene er ikke ferdige, men vårt mål er å få politisk enighet om de utestående spørsmålene så snart som mulig.
Norway intends to contribute to building a secure Europe based on solidarity. 
Norge skal bidra til å skape et solidarisk og trygt Europa.
In this connection I would like to refer to the letter from the parliamentary leader of the opposition to the Prime Minister regarding the status of the work on the Services Directive. 
Jeg viser for øvrig til brev til Statsministeren fra opposisjonens parlamentariske ledere vedrørende status for arbeidet med Tjenestedirektivet.
The deadline for submitting consultative comments on the draft text is 22 February this year. 
Det er satt frist til 22. februar i år med å gi høringsuttalelser til direktivteksten.
The Government will synthesise the submitted comments before presenting its assessment to the Storting. 
Regjeringen vil oppsummere høringsuttalelsene og deretter komme tilbake til Stortinget med sin vurdering på egnet måte.
As regards the WTO negotiations, little of significance has occurred since our debate in this chamber before Christmas, except for clear political signals calling for the resumption of negotiations. 
Og når det gjelder WTO-forhandlingene, er det lite nytt i substans å melde siden vår debatt her i salen rett før jul, bortsett fra tydelige politiske signaler om å komme i gang igjen med forhandlingene.
Norway is in favour of a resumption, and the Government will consult with the bodies of the Storting as the negotiations proceed. 
Norge støtter at dette skjer, og Regjeringen vil holde kontakt med Stortingets organer etter hvert som forhandlingene utvikler seg.
During my visit to Afghanistan in January, one of the Afghan ministers commented that Afghanistan is not a post-conflict society. 
Under mitt besøk til Afghanistan i januar, formulerte en av landets ministere det slik: Afghanistan er ikke et samfunn som er kommet ut av en konflikt.
It is a post-disaster society, with conflicts that have not yet been brought to an end. 
Det er et samfunn som har opplevd katastrofe og hvor konfliktene ennå ikke er avsluttet.
The task facing us today is to help to pave the way for reconciliation, peace and development in Afghanistan. 
Oppgaven i dag handler om å gi Afghanistan mulighet til forsoning, fred og utvikling.
The task is to build a country that is no longer a breeding ground for terrorism, and that no longer sends “weapons of mass destruction” in the form of huge heroin exports over vast distances – right into the heart of our own society. 
Oppgaven handler om å bygge opp et land som ikke lenger er et arnested for terrorisme, et land som sender nye ”masseødeleggelsesvåpen” i form av en gigantisk heroineksport, over lange avstander, inn i våre egne samfunn.
These are the reasons why today Afghanistan is our most important military priority area and one of the largest recipients of Norwegian civil assistance. 
Av disse grunnene er Afghanistan i dag vårt viktigste militære satsningsområde og av de største mottakere av sivil norsk bistand.
And it is a high priority not only for Norway, but also for NATO – our own security alliance and our own allies and a wide range of partner countries, including our Nordic neighbours. 
Ikke bare for Norge, men også for NATO – vår egen sikkerhetsallianse og våre egne allierte og en lang rekke partnere, herunder våre nordiske naboer.
We share the responsibility for ensuring the success of this operation. 
Sammen har vi ansvar for at denne operasjonen lykkes.
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) needs to further develop its strategy for dealing with new attacks inside Afghanistan. 
ISAF må nå videreutvikle sin strategi for å møte nye anslag inne i Afghanistan.
At the same time, a much stronger political focus on preventing infiltration from the border areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan is needed. 
Samtidig kreves et langt større fokus for å hindre infiltrasjon fra grenseområdene mellom Afghanistan og Pakistan.
The Pakistani Government must gain stronger control over the groups operating out of these areas. 
Den pakistanske regjering må få sterkere kontroll over gruppene som opererer fra disse grensetraktene.
This underscores that the conflict in Afghanistan, in addition to its international dimension, also has a regional dimension. 
Dette understreker, at konflikten i Afghanistan, i tillegg til den internasjonale dimensjon, også har en regional side.
It is important to engage all countries in the region in a positive way, and this is an issue we raise in bilateral talks. 
Det er viktig at alle landene i regionen engasjeres på en positiv måte – noe vi tar opp i bilaterale samtaler.
However, it is primarily up to the Afghans themselves to develop close, balanced relations with other countries in the region. 
Men først og fremst er det afghanerne selv som må sørge for et godt og balansert forhold til landene i regionen.
The Afghan leaders I met were very clear on the subject of international military involvement: the most important question is not how many ISAF soldiers are deployed in Afghanistan, but what the international community can do to train and equip the country’s own forces. 
Afghanske ledere ga meg klar beskjed når det gjaldt den militære siden: Det viktigste er ikke hvor mange ISAF-soldater som kommer til Afghanistan, men hva det internasjonale samfunnet kan gjøre for å trene og utstyre landets egne styrker.
There is a need for more extensive training of the Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police. 
Det kreves mer omfattende opplæring av den regulære afghanske hæren og av den afghanske politistyrken.
The challenge posed by the Taliban and other rebel groups should as far as possible be met with an Afghan response. 
Utfordringen fra Taliban og andre motstandsgrupper bør så langt som mulig møtes med et tilsvar som har et afghansk ansikt.
