St. 7 (2011–2012) - The High North 
7 (2011–2012) - Nordområdene
Stortinget (Norwegian Parliament), Oslo, 2 February 2010 
Stortinget, 2. februar 2010
One of the aims of the Government’s High North strategy has been to raise international awareness about the High North. 
Et av nordområdestrategiens siktemål har vært å øke den internasjonale oppmerksomheten om nordområdene.
Over the past two years a growing number of actors have discussed the High North and developed their own High North/Arctic strategies, including the US, Russia, the EU, Denmark and Iceland. 
De siste to årene har stadig flere aktører, deriblant USA, Russland, EU, Danmark og Island, debattert nordområdene og utformet egne nordområde-/arktisstrategier.
How does the Foreign Minister assess these strategies in relation to Norwegian interests and objectives for the use and protection of the Arctic, and what is his response to those who call for a clearer definition of what is covered by the High North concept?” 
Hvordan vurderer utenriksministeren disse strategiene målt opp mot norske interesser og målsettinger for bruk og beskyttelse av Arktis, og hva er utenriksministerens svar på oppfordringer om å få en klarere forståelse av hva nordområdebegrepet omfatter?
I would like to thank Mr Kristiansen for raising questions that have a bearing on important foreign policy trends in the High North, a geographical region that he no doubt knows well. 
Jeg vil takke representanten Kristiansen for å ta opp spørsmål som berører viktige utenrikspolitiske utviklingstrekk i våre nordområder, et geografisk område som representanten tør være godt kjent med.
We enjoy broad consensus on the main features of the Norwegian High North strategy. 
Vi nyter godt av en bred enighet om hovedtrekkene i den norske strategien.
The white paper on the High North presented by my predecessor Jan Petersen received widespread support. 
Meldingen om nordområdene fra min forgjenger Jan Petersen fikk bred tilslutning.
There has also been broad support for the increased emphasis the Stoltenberg Government has placed on the High North by defining the area as Norway’s most important strategic priority area, with associated strategies, action plans and allocations. 
Det taktskiftet Stoltenberg-regjeringen gjennomførte ved å definere nordområdene som Norges strategiske satsingsområde, med strategier, handlingsplaner og bevilgninger, har også hatt bred støtte.
It is clear to us that a High North perspective must also include our parts of the Arctic region. 
Det står klart for oss at et nordområdeperspektiv også må omfatte våre deler av det arktiske.
This is, I believe, a new realisation. 
Dette tror jeg er en ny erkjennelse.
We must therefore take an interest in the management of the Arctic as a whole – a region that is now attracting growing attention in strategic terms. 
Vi må derfor interessere oss for håndteringen av hele Arktis – en region som nå får økende strategisk oppmerksomhet.
First, I would like to discuss the concept of the High North. 
Først om forståelsen av nordområdebegrepet.
It is quite true that in our High North efforts, the High North is not precisely defined in terms of geographical coordinates, nor is it limited to Norwegian areas. 
Det er helt riktig at i vår nordområdesatsing er ikke «nordområdene» presist definert med geografiske koordinater, og heller ikke avgrenset til kun norske områder.
We can perhaps say that the High North is a political concept, a political definition: the northernmost part of Europe including the northern part of Norway, both large sea areas and populated areas of land. 
På en måte kan vi kanskje si at «nordområdene» er et politisk begrep, en politisk definisjon: Det nordligste av Europa innbefattet det nordlige av Norge, store havområder, men også på land, der menneskene lever sine liv.
Norway has important interests that are affected by developments in this area and in the Arctic region as a whole. 
Norge har viktige interesser knyttet til utviklingen i hele dette området og i hele Arktis.
Our efforts in the north must be seen in a geopolitical context, and therefore the terms “High North” and “Arctic” may well be partly overlapping. 
Vår satsing i nord må ses i en geopolitisk sammenheng, og derfor kan gjerne begrepene «nordområdene» og «Arktis» delvis være overlappende.
But, as I have said, I do not believe a clear distinction is necessary. 
Men som sagt, en klar grense tror jeg ikke er påkrevet.
In strategic terms, all these areas are part of a broader, common framework. 
Strategisk utgjør alt dette nemlig en bredere, felles ramme.
Although the Government’s High North efforts focus primarily on Norway’s northernmost areas and our cooperation with Russia, a number of the main priorities in the High North strategy are also important in our Arctic policy and in our contact with a whole range of countries. 
Selv om regjeringens nordområdesatsing i første rekke har fokus på våre landsdeler i nord og samarbeidet med Russland, er flere av strategiens hovedprioriteringer viktige også i vår Arktis-politikk og i berøring med en lang rekke land.
Our foreign policy in the High North and the Arctic covers at least five dimensions: 
Vår utenrikspolitikk i nordområdene og Arktis omfatter minst fem dimensjoner:
First: We will exercise our authority in the High North in a credible, consistent and predictable way. 
For det første: Vi skal utøve myndighet i nord på en troverdig, konsekvent og forutsigbar måte.
Second: We will be at the forefront of international efforts to develop knowledge in and about the High North. 
For det andre: Vi skal være helt i front internasjonalt når det gjelder utvikling av kunnskap om, for og i nordområdene.
Third: We intend to be the best steward of the environment and natural resources in the High North. 
For det tredje: Vi skal være den fremste forvalter av miljø og naturressurser i nordområdene.
We will pursue an active policy of value creation, as set out for instance in the report New Building Blocks in the North, presented by the Prime Minister in March 2009. 
Vi skal ha en aktiv verdiskapingspolitikk, slik det bl.a. er nedfelt i rapporten Nye byggesteiner i nord, framlagt av statsministeren i mars i fjor.
Fourth: We will continue to promote peace and stability in the High North, and we will seek to strengthen our close bilateral and multilateral cooperation with relevant actors in the Arctic region – in the Arctic Council, in the Barents Cooperation, in the Nordic context and in other forums. 
For det fjerde: Vi skal fortsette å fremme fred og stabilitet i nordområdene, og vi skal arbeide for økt godt samarbeid med relevante aktører i Arktis, både bilateralt og multilateralt – i Arktisk Råd, Barentssamarbeidet, i nordisk sammenheng og i andre fora.
Fifth: We will uphold international law and in particular the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the fundamental international legal framework for the Arctic Ocean and other Arctic areas. 
For det femte: Vi skal støtte opp om folkeretten og særlig FNs havrettskonvensjon, som det grunnleggende rettslige rammeverk for Polhavet og andre områder i Arktis.
As far as the last point is concerned, I would like to add that as early as 2007, Norway took the initiative to gather the Arctic coastal states – Norway, Denmark/Greenland, the US, Canada and Russia – for a meeting in Oslo to discuss the international legal framework for the Arctic Ocean. 
Om sistnevnte punkt vil jeg legge til følgende: Norge tok allerede i 2007 initiativ til å samle kyststatene i Polhavet – Norge, Danmark/Grønland, USA, Canada og Russland – til et møte i Oslo for å drøfte det folkerettslige rammeverket for Polhavet.
This meeting was followed up at ministerial level in Greenland in May 2008. 
Det ble fulgt opp på ministernivå på Grønland i mai 2008.
As I have often stressed, both in Norway and abroad, it is important to realise that the Arctic Ocean, despite its somewhat mythical aura, is not an area that is not governed by law. 
Det er viktig å være klar over – noe jeg har understreket ofte både i Norge og internasjonalt – at Polhavet, tross en tidvis mytisk aura, ikke er et slags rettstomt område.
It is an ocean, just like any other. 
Det er et hav, som alle andre hav.
Our main task is therefore to develop policies and legislation that make full use of the existing international legal framework – precisely in order to address the opportunities and challenges of the ice-free Arctic Ocean of the future. 
Vår hovedoppgave er derfor politikkutforming og regelverksutvikling som fullt ut utnytter de eksisterende folkerettslige rammeverk – nettopp for å møte mulighetene og utfordringene i det fremtidige, isfrie Polhavet.
It is neither necessary nor desirable to develop a new international legal regime, because the Convention on the Law of the Sea already gives us both rights and duties. 
Det er verken nødvendig eller ønskelig å utvikle nye folkerettslige rammeverk, for Havrettskonvensjonen gir oss rettigheter, men også plikter.
These relate, for instance, to the requirement that natural resources are soundly managed in areas of sea under our jurisdiction. 
Disse er bl.a. knyttet til kravet om forsvarlig ressursforvaltning i havområder som er underlagt norsk jurisdiksjon.
As Mr Kristiansen has pointed out, we expect increased activity in the Arctic in the years ahead. 
Som interpellanten har gjort rede for, venter vi økt aktivitet i Arktis i årene som kommer.
This will require a greater Norwegian presence in the region, in the form of increased monitoring, improved search and rescue services and enhanced maritime surveillance systems. 
I sum vil dette kreve økt norsk nærvær, i form av utvidet oppsyn, styrket søke- og redningstjeneste og bedre maritime overvåkningssystemer.
The Government is therefore strengthening Norway’s operative capacity, for instance by adding new frigates, not in response to any military threat, but as a way of exercising our authority in the High North in a credible, consistent and predictable way. 
Derfor styrker regjeringen Norges operative kapasitet ved bl.a. nye fregatter – ikke som svar på en militær trussel, men som utøvelse av myndighet i nord på en troverdig, konsekvent og forutsigbar måte.
There is well-developed cooperation in the Arctic and the High North, both bilaterally, for instance through our High North dialogues, and multilaterally. 
Arktis og nordområdene er preget av et velutviklet samarbeid, både bilateralt – bl.a. nå med våre nordområdedialoger – og multilateralt.
As Mr Kristiansen has noted, the Arctic Council is the key international cooperation forum for discussing issues relating to the Arctic. 
Arktisk Råd er det sentrale internasjonale samarbeidsorgan for drøfting av spørsmål knyttet til Arktis, slik Ivar Kristiansen viste til.
The Government intends to continue its efforts in the Arctic Council, so that the Council’s position as international agenda-setter in questions relating to the Arctic can be further strengthened in the time ahead. 
Regjeringen er opptatt av å fortsette arbeidet, slik at Arktisk Råds internasjonale posisjon som premissleverandør i spørsmål vedrørende Arktis kan styrkes ytterligere framover.
Clear rules, safe navigation routes, predictability and close cooperation are all crucial if we are to be able to avoid, or ease, any tensions over security policy that may arise as a result of the increased activity in the Arctic as it becomes more accessible. 
Klare kjøreregler, sikker navigering, forutsigbarhet og godt, tett samarbeid er viktig for å unngå eller dempe mulige sikkerhetspolitiske spenninger som følger av økt aktivitet og større tilgjengelighet i Arktis.
It is also important that a wider group of actors has a high level of awareness and sound knowledge of development trends in the Arctic. 
Det er dessuten viktig med høy bevissthet og god kunnskap om utviklingstrekk i Arktis i en bredere krets.
This is why I use and seek out opportunities to inform our allies, partners and other interested parties, both about broad trends and about more specific developments. 
Dette er bakgrunnen for at jeg bruker og oppsøker anledninger til å orientere våre allierte, partnere og andre interesserte om brede og smale utviklingstrekk.
This includes the larger strategic picture, for instance in relation to NATO, where we aim to inform and raise awareness among our allies about developments in the north, and thereby help to ensure that the alliance continues to have a realistic understanding of the situation. 
Det gjelder hele det strategiske bildet, bl.a. overfor NATO, der vi ønsker å bevisstgjøre og informere våre allierte i forhold til utviklingen i nord, og dermed bidra til en fortsatt nøktern forståelse av situasjonen i alliansen.
Mr Kristiansen has raised various questions relating to the increased international focus on the High North and other countries’ strategies. 
Interpellanten tar opp ulike sider knyttet til økt internasjonal oppmerksomhet og andre lands strategier.
In general, I would say that it is positive that other actors in international politics – states and organisations – are well informed about Norway’s interests, policies and strategies. 
Generelt sett vil jeg si at det er positivt at andre aktører i internasjonal politikk – stater og organisasjoner – er godt kjent med Norges interesser, vår politikk og våre strategier.
Similarly, it is positive that other countries also express their views and ambitions. 
Tilsvarende er det positivt at også andre land gir uttrykk for sin tenkning og sine ambisjoner.
We therefore welcome the fact that other countries are presenting their strategies. 
Derfor ønsker vi velkommen det faktum at andre land presenterer sine strategier.
In recent years we have engaged in active diplomacy in order to pursue a dialogue with other countries while they develop their High North strategies. 
Vi har de siste årene utøvd et aktivt norsk diplomati for å komme i dialog med andre land når de utarbeider sine strategier.
In my view, we have made good progress in this respect. 
Jeg mener vi har kommet et godt stykke på vei.
We started early, and our aim has been to be clear, dynamic and proactive. 
Vi har vært tidlig ute, og vi har hatt som mål å være tydelige, aktive og offensive.
The fact that interest in the High North is growing is neither negative nor a threat; nor is it necessarily a source of conflict. 
At interessen for nordområdene er økende, er ikke truende eller negativt, ei heller nødvendigvis konfliktskapende.
If such ambiguity were to develop, tensions could emerge due to greater activity, increasing focus on the region, and perhaps also heightened competition. 
Om det skjer, kan det bli spenninger som følge av økt pågang, økt oppmerksomhet og kanskje økt konkurranse.
It is therefore in Norway’s interests that other countries have also developed and considered their Arctic strategies. 
Derfor er det i norsk interesse at også andre land har utviklet og gjennomtenkt sine strategier i Arktis.
This helps to bring about a common mindset, up-to-date information, greater transparency, clarity and predictability. 
Dette er med på å skape en felles bevissthet, oppdatert kunnskap, større åpenhet, tydelighet og forutsigbarhet.
Further, they point out that we do not need any new legal framework for the Arctic. 
De peker videre på at vi ikke trenger noe nytt rettslig rammeverk for Arktis.
In its strategy, Russia makes it clear that the law of the sea applies. 
Russland er i sin strategi tydelig på at havretten gjelder.
Other common features are that sustainable management of resources is given high priority, and that the precautionary principle must be used as the basis for any extraction of oil and gas. 
Andre fellestrekk er at hensynet til bærekraftig forvaltning skal ha høy prioritet, og at man ved eventuell utvinning av olje og gass skal legge til grunn føre var-prinsippet.
All this is in line with important Norwegian priorities. 
Som vi ser, sammenfaller dette med de viktigste norske prioriteringer.
On the other hand, there is no disguising the fact that Norway has had to work actively to correct misunderstandings about the Arctic, particularly with regard to matters relating to international law – for instance, by explaining that we cannot think about the Arctic in the same way as we think about the Antarctic. 
På den annen side skal jeg ikke legge skjul på at Norge har måttet arbeide aktivt for å korrigere misforståelser om Arktis, spesielt om folkerettslige forhold – som f.eks. at vi ikke kan tenke på samme måte om Arktis som vi tenker om Antarktis.
This is nothing new, and since confusion about these matters arises regularly, we will continue to give priority to our efforts to correct misunderstandings. 
Dette er ikke noe nytt, og siden uklarheter om disse forholdene jevnlig oppstår, vil dette arbeidet fortsatt bli prioritert.
Our aim is to strive for clarity as far as international law and the distribution of responsibility in the Arctic are concerned, and to promote full implementation of the law of the sea. 
Vårt mål er å bidra til klarhet når det gjelder folkerett og ansvarsforhold i Arktis, og å bidra til full gjennomføring av havretten.
As mentioned, it is significant that the role of the Arctic Council as the key international cooperation forum for discussing common challenges in the Arctic is emphasised. 
Det er, som nevnt, betydningsfullt at Arktisk Råd fremheves som det sentrale internasjonale samarbeidsorgan for drøfting av felles utfordringer i Arktis.
But membership in the Arctic Council is quite narrow, with just eight member states and a limited number of observers, whose role is fairly passive. 
Men medlemskapskretsen i Arktisk Råd er ganske smal, med kun åtte medlemmer og like mange faste observatører som er tildelt en ganske passiv rolle.
A number of other actors have applied for permanent observer status, including China, Japan and the European Commission. 
Flere har søkt om status som fast observatør, inkludert Kina, Japan og Europakommisjonen.
These are major political actors. 
Dette er tunge politiske aktører.
