'The EEA Agreement has allowed Norway to fulfil its main objective, namely to ensure that Norway can participate in the internal market, and benefit from the free movement of goods, services, capital and persons. 
- EØS-avtalen har vist seg å ivareta sin hovedmålsetting: å sikre Norge deltakelse i det indre marked, med fri bevegelighet for mennesker, varer, tjenester og kapital.
We see the results of this every day in our daily lives, in our work and in our business activities', said EU Minister Vidar Helgesen in his address.

Twenty-five years ago, Europe was still in the grip of the Cold War. 
På denne tiden for 25 år siden var Europa ennå fanget i den kalde krigens grep.
Half of Europe was still behind the Iron Curtain, and the people living there were unable to travel and speak freely. 
Jernteppet hindret fortsatt halve Europa i å reise og ytre seg fritt.
On the night of 5–6 February 1989, a young waiter named Chris Gueffroy was shot and killed in an attempt to cross the Berlin Wall. 
Natt til 6. februar 1989 ble den unge servitøren Chris Gueffroy skutt og drept i et forsøk på å flykte over Berlinmuren.
We did not know it then, but he was to be the last person to be shot while trying to flee to the West. 
Vi visste det ikke da, men han skulle bli den siste.
Just a generation ago, but this was the start of a period of momentous events. 
En knapp generasjon siden, et hav av begivenheter siden.
These countries are now our allies in NATO, members of the EU and hence our partners in the EEA. 
Nå er de våre Nato-allierte, de er medlemmer av EU og de er våre partnere i EØS.
The Government’s European policy is all about the values we believe in, the wealth creation that ensures our livelihoods, and the friends we depend on. 
Regjeringens europapolitikk dreier seg om de verdier vi tror på, den verdiskapning vi lever av og de venner vi er avhengige av.
The European cooperation is the greatest project for peace and democracy in history. 
Det europeiske samarbeidet er historiens største freds- og demokratiprosjekt.
The EEA Agreement, which has served the Norwegian business sector so well for 20 years, is part of this project. 
EØS-avtalen, som har tjent norsk næringsliv så vel i 20 år, er en del av dette prosjektet.
Norway has everything to gain from close cooperation with those who are our closest friends in the international community. 
Norge har alt å vinne på tett samspill med de som er våre nærmeste venner i det internasjonale samfunn.
You can sometimes get the impression from the public debate in Norway that the EEA Agreement limits the rights and opportunities of Norwegian citizens and companies. 
I den offentlige debatten kan man av og til få inntrykk av at EØS-avtalen innskrenker norske borgeres og bedrifters rettigheter og muligheter.
This is completely wrong. 
Dette er grunnleggende feil.
Yes, the EEA Agreement sets the ground rules for important segments of our economy and society. 
Ja – EØS-avtalen fastlegger spilleregler innenfor viktige deler av vår økonomi og vårt samfunn.
And yes, there may at times be too much micromanagement. 
Og ja – av og til kan detaljreguleringen gå vel langt.
But the important thing is that we have a common set of rules in Europe, and that – through the EEA Agreement and our other agreements with the EU – Norwegian companies and citizens have access to the broader European community. 
Men det vesentlige er at det dreier seg om et felles sett av spilleregler i Europa, og at norske bedrifter og borgere gjennom EØS-avtalen og andre deler av vårt avtaleverk med EU, får adgang til et større europeisk fellesskap.
In areas where the common European market needs regulation, it is better to have a single set of rules than 31 different sets of national rules. 
På områder der det er behov for å regulere det felles europeiske markedet, er det bedre med én felles regel enn med 31 ulike nasjonale regler.
The fact is that common rules offer Norwegian citizens more rights and opportunities. 
Felles regler utvider norske borgeres rettigheter og muligheter.
That is why maintaining and further developing the EEA Agreement is one of Norway’s core interests. 
Derfor er det en offensiv norsk interesse å bevare og videreutvikle EØS-avtalen.
That is why the EEA Agreement is a mainstay of Norwegian European policy. 
Derfor er EØS-avtalen en bærebjelke i norsk europapolitikk.
But they are in many ways at the heart of what European cooperation is about: common rules for the protection of the individual, for protection against the abuse of power. 
Men dette er på mange måter kjernen i det som er «Europa»: regler for beskyttelse av individet, regler for beskyttelse mot maktmisbruk.
The events that have been taking place in Ukraine are a reminder that these principles cannot be taken for granted even in Europe in the 21st century.
