Norway chairs important meeting on Middle East in London 
Norge leder viktig Midtøsten-møte i London
One of Norway’s most important contributions to the Middle East peace process is its role as chair of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC) of donors to the Palestinians. 
Et av Norges viktigste bidrag til fredsprosessen i Midtøsten er rollen som leder for giverlandsgruppen for palestinerne, Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC).
On Friday the AHLC donor countries will meet in London. 
Denne gruppen møtes fredag i London.
In addition to Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, representatives of the major donors, including UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, EU Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, EU High Representative Javier Solana and Quartet Representative Tony Blair will participate. 
I tillegg til den palestinske statsministeren SalamFayyad og den israelske utenriksministeren Tzipi Livni, er de store giverne representert med bl.a FNs generalsekretær Ban Ki-Moon, USAs utenriksminister Condoleezza Rice, Russlands utenriksminister Sergej Lavrov, EUs kommisjonær Benita Ferrero-Waldner og høyrepresentant Javier Solana, samt Kvartettens representant Tony Blair.
The purpose of the AHLC is to assist the Palestinians in establishing a sustainable, democratic state, which Norway believes is essential for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict. 
Målsettingen er å hjelpe palestinerne med å etablere en bærekraftig og demokratisk stat, som Norge mener er en forutsetning for en tostatsløsning på Midtøsten-konflikten.
This can only be achieved if conditions on the ground are improved. 
Dette kan bare oppnås hvis forholdene på bakken forbedres.
Lately, the situation has deteriorated. 
I den siste perioden har utviklingen vært negativ.
There has been an expansion of Israeli settlements. 
Det har vært en økning i israelske bosettinger.
More restrictions have been imposed on the Palestinians in the West Bank. 
Restriksjonene for palestinerne på Vestbredden er blitt flere.
There has been an increase in Israeli military operations in Palestinian Territory. 
Israelske militære operasjoner i Det palestinske området er trappet opp.
Palestinian groups continue to fire rockets into Israel. 
Palestinske grupper fortsetter å skyte raketter mot Israel.
Fragile governments on either side are hampering the negotiations. 
Skjøre regjeringer på begge sider gjør forhandlingene vanskelige.
The Israeli and Palestinian populations have little trust in the peace process. 
Det er liten tillit til fredsprosessen i begge befolkninger.
“Given the lack of progress in the peace process, donor cooperation is of greater political importance than ever,” said State Secretary Raymond Johansen. 
- Når man ser på den manglende bevegelsen i fredsprosessen, framstår giversamarbeidet politisk viktigere enn noen gang, sier statssekretær Raymond Johansen.
“In fact, the AHLC is the main arena for three-party consultations between the Palestinians, the Israelis and the international community on important issues. 
- AHLC er faktisk den mest sentrale trepartsarenaen for drøftelser av viktige spørsmål mellom palestinerne, Israel og det internasjonale samfunn.
The London meeting The London meeting is a follow-up to the ministerial level donor meeting in New York in September and the large donor conference in Paris in December last year. 
London-møtet London-møtet er en oppfølging av givermøtet i New York på ministernivå i september og den store giverkonferansen i Paris i desember i fjor.
“I am pleased that we have managed to re-establish our structured cooperation,” said Mr Johansen. 
- Jeg er glad for at vi har reetablert et strukturert samarbeid, sier Johansen.
This series of meetings marks the resumption of direct economic cooperation between donor countries and the Palestinian Authority after a period of boycott and isolation. 
Denne møterekken markerer gjenopptakelsen av direkte økonomisk samarbeid mellom giverland og den palestinske selvstyremyndigheten etter en periode med boikott og isolasjon.
In Paris, donors pledged a total of USD 7.7 billion. 
I Paris ble det gitt tilsagn på til sammen USD 7,7 milliarder.
Norway will provide NOK 760 million each year during the period 2008–2010. 
Norge vil gi NOK 760 millioner årlig i perioden 2008-2010.
This makes the Palestinian Territory on the largest recipients of Norwegian development assistance. 
Det gjør Det palestinske området til en av våre aller største mottakere av norsk utviklingsbistand.
“An important aim of the London meeting is to follow up on and ensure fulfilment of the pledges made in Paris. 
- En viktig målsetting for London-møtet er å følge opp og sikre løftene fra Paris.
This is no easy task,” said Mr Johansen. 
Dette er ingen enkel oppgave, sier Johansen.
Given the deterioration on the ground, the challenge is to prevent that donors fail to fulfil their pledges because they fear that the funds will have no effect. 
Gitt den negative utviklingen på bakken, er utfordringen å unngå at givere går fra sine løfter fordi de er redde for at midlene ikke skal få noen effekt.
We have a strong partner in Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad in our efforts to counter this tendency. 
Til å motstå denne tendensen har vi en sterk partner i den palestinske statsministeren Salam Fayyad.
He has launched an important, major reform of the Palestinian Authority, covering financial management, the judiciary and the security sector. 
Han har satt i gang en stor og viktig reform av den palestinske selvstyremyndigheten, herunder finansforvaltning, justissektoren og sikkerhet.
The London meeting is important for mobilising political support for Mr Fayyad’s reform efforts. 
London-møtet er viktig for å mobilisere politisk støtte til Fayyads reformarbeid.
At the same time, it is essential to improve the framework conditions for the Palestinian economy. 
Samtidig er det avgjørende å få bedret rammebetingelsene for palestinsk økonomi.
The main obstacle to the development of the Palestinian economy is still the Israeli restrictions on access and movement. 
Det viktigste hinderet for utvikling av den palestinske økonomien er fortsatt de israelske bevegelsesrestriksjonene.
Without free access to and free movement within the Palestinian Territory, there will be no economic growth. 
Uten tilgang til, og fri bevegelse innenfor Det palestinske området vil det ikke bli økonomisk vekst.
Israel must remove checkpoints that have a significant impact on trade and economic development . 
Israel må fjerne sjekkpunkter av strategisk betydning for handel og økonomisk utvikling.
There are currently nearly 600 checkpoints and barriers in the West Bank alone. 
I dag er det nesten 600 hindringer bare på Vestbredden.
At present the prospects for establishing a state are slim. 
I dag er utsiktene til en statsdannelse små.
The aid that is provided is used mainly for salaries, current expenses and humanitarian assistance, and only to a limited extent for long-term development projects. 
Bistanden går i stor grad til lønninger, løpende utgifter og humanitær bistand og i mindre grad til langsiktige utviklingsprosjekter.
“This is a trend we are seeking to reverse. 
- Det er denne trenden vi arbeider for å snu.
Unless we succeed, the Palestinian Authority is in danger of collapsing. 
Om vi ikke klarer dette, vil Den palestinske selvstyremyndigheten kunne bryte sammen.
