NATO’s mutual defence clause, under which an attack on one member is considered an attack on all members, rests on being able to meet threats and security challenges where they arise. 
Natos gjensidige sikkerhetsgaranti, der et angrep mot en er å betrakte som et angrep mot alle, er basert på evnen til å kunne møte trusler og sikkerhetsutfordringer der de oppstår.
It is also in Norway’s interest to deepen political consultations between the allies, as part of the effort to strengthen cooperation between Europe and the US. 
Det er likeledes i norsk interesse å arbeide for en utdypning av de politiske konsultasjonene mellom de allierte som et ledd i arbeidet med å styrke samarbeidet mellom Europa og USA.
With this aim in mind, Norway is actively supporting efforts to make NATO’s organisational structure more efficient and effective, and to strengthen the Alliance’s operational capacity. 
Med dette formål arbeider Norge aktivt for å fremme arbeidet med å rasjonalisere og effektivisere Natos organisasjon og styrke alliansens operative evne.

Why are the NATO Foreign Ministers meeting in Oslo? 
Hvorfor møtes Natos utenriksministere i Oslo?
Below you will find answers on that and other questions about the meetings. 
Under finner du svar på flere spørsmål om det uformelle møtet.
Extraordinary meetings, such as the extraordinary meeting of Foreign Ministers that took place in Brussels in January this year, are held as needed. 
Et slikt ekstraordinært utenriksministermøte ble holdt i Brussel i januar d.å.
A: At the formal meetings, the ministers make decisions on specific issues, and official declarations/communiqués are adopted. 
På de formelle ministermøtene treffer ministrene konkrete beslutninger og det utarbeides offisielle erklæringer/kommunikeer fra møtene.
This is not normally done at the informal meetings, which offer an opportunity for freer discussions with fewer senior officials present. 
Dette skjer normalt ikke på de uformelle møtene, der det legges opp til en friere diskusjon med færre embetsmenn til stede.
Such discussions often revolve around strategic political issues and choices for the Alliance. 
Diskusjonene gjelder ofte mer overordnede politiske spørsmål og strategiske veivalg for Alliansen.
In practice, however, there is often little difference between the two meeting formats. 
I praksis er imidlertid forskjellen mellom de to møteformatene ofte liten.
Who participates in the meetings? 
Hvem deltar på møtene?
The meetings are attended by the Foreign Ministers and delegates from all 26 NATO member countries. 
På møtene deltar utenriksministrene samt delegater fra alle Natos 26 medlemsland.
The meetings are chaired by NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. 
Møtene blir ledet av Natos generalsekretær, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.
What will the ministers be discussing in Oslo? 
Hva skal ministrene diskutere i Oslo?
At the meeting, the ministers will be discussing a number of matters of great political importance to NATO. 
På møtet skal ministrene diskutere en rekke saker av stor politisk viktighet for Nato.
The focus of the meetings will also depend on the international situation at the time they take place. 
Fokus på møtene vil også avhenge av den internasjonale situasjonen på møtetidspunktet.
What does Norway hope to achieve at the meeting? 
Hva ønsker Norge å få ut av møtet?
As host of the meeting, Norway wants to ensure that the event is as open and inclusive as possible, and that it facilitates fruitful political discussion among the ministers. 
Som vertskap for møtet ønsker vi et mest mulig åpent og inkluderende arrangement som legger til rette for gode politiske diskusjoner mellom ministrene.

- Illegal fishing is theft from the community. 
– Ulovlig fiske er tyveri fra fellesskapet.
It is theft from our common food pantry, and a threat to the resources of the sea. 
Det er tyveri fra matfatet vårt, og en trussel mot ressursene i havet.
And it distorts competition in a way that harms the honest players in the fishing industry, said Norwegian Minister of Fisheries, Mr Per Sandberg. 
Og det skaper en negativ konkurransevridning for de ærlige aktørene i fiskerinæringen, sier fiskeriminister Per Sandberg.
According to the World Bank, the global fisheries sector is losing some NOK 695 billion each year. 
Ifølge Verdensbanken taper den globale fiskerisektoren hvert år opp mot 695 milliarder norske kroner.
Norway has been a strong advocate of the agreement.
