On 5 December, UN International Volunteer Day, the government published its declaration on voluntary work, which establishes a framework for dialogue and interaction between the voluntary sector and the government. 
I dag, på FNs internasjonale frivillighetsdag legger regjeringen fram Frivillighetserklæringen.
Norway calls for the death sentence against Timothy Shaun Stemple to be reversed 
Ber om at dødsdom mot Timothy Shaun Stemple blir omgjort
We have urged the Governor of Oklahoma to reverse the death sentence,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
Vi har anmodet delstatsguvernøren i Oklahoma om å omgjøre dommen, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Timothy Shaun Stemple has family in Norway, and they have also become involved in this matter. 
Timothy Shaun Stemple har norsk familie som også har engasjert seg i saken.
Most recently, Prime Minister Stoltenberg raised the question of capital punishment during his meeting with President Obama in October last year. 
Statsminister Stoltenberg tok senest opp spørsmålet om dødsstraff i sitt møte med president Obama i oktober i fjor.
The US authorities are therefore well aware of Norway’s strong opposition to all forms of capital punishment. 
Amerikanske myndigheter er derfor godt kjent med vår sterke motstand mot alle former for dødsstraff.
Illinois is the US state that most recently abolished the death penalty, which means that a total of 34 states have now done so. 
Illinois er den hittil siste av totalt 34 amerikanske delstater som har avskaffet dødsstraff.
The Government gives high priority to the campaign against the death penalty, and Norway has taken a leading role in global efforts to combat use of capital punishment. 
Norge har en inntatt ledende rolle i den globale innsatsen mot dødsstraff.
“We will continue to work actively to combat the death penalty, at the bilateral, regional and multilateral level,” Mr Støre said. 
- Vi vil fortsette å arbeide aktivt mot dødsstraff både bilateralt og i regional og multilateral sammenheng, sier Støre.
Regulations relating to Management of the Government Bond Fund 
Forskrift om forvaltningen av Statens obligasjonsfond
– The aim is to contribute to an increased supply of capital and liquidity in the Norwegian corporate bond market. 
- Formålet er å bidra til økt likviditet i og kapitaltilgang til det norske kredittobligasjonsmarkedet.
Risk limitation and market pricing considerations make it necessary to define certain minimum requirements for the investments, says Minister of Finance Kristin Halvorsen. 
Samtidig er det av hensynet til risikobegrensning og markedsmessig prising nødvendig med enkelte minstekrav til plasseringene, sier finansminister Kristin Halvorsen.
The Ministry’s return expectations for these investments will be expressed through the specification of a reference index. 
Departementets avkastningsforventinger for disse plasseringene vil uttrykkes gjennom fastsettelse av en referanseindeks.
The funds shall be invested according to a specific investment sector distribution to ensure risk diversification: 25-65 per cent in banks and financial institutions and 35-75 per cent in other, non-financial enterprises, including industry. 
For å sikre risikospredning skal midlene plasseres etter en bestemt sektorfordeling: 25-65 prosent i bank og finansforetak og 35-75 prosent i andre, ikke-finansielle foretak, herunder industri.
A maximum of 30 per cent of the fund’s assets can be invested in bonds issued by enterprises with a credit rating lower than so-called investment grade (i.e. lower than BBB- in accordance with Standard & Poor’s classification). 
Inntil 30 prosent av fondets midler kan plasseres i obligasjoner utstedt av foretak som har lavere kredittvurdering enn såkalt "investment grade" (det vil si lavere enn BBB- i henhold til Standard & Poor's klassifisering).
A lower limit has also been specified: The funds cannot be invested in enterprises with a credit rating corresponding to CCC+ or lower. 
Samtidig oppstilles en nedre grense: Midlene kan ikke investeres i foretak med kredittvurdering tilsvarende CCC+ eller dårligere.
Both considerations for a responsible risk profile and operational considerations require such limitations. 
Både hensynet til forsvarlig risikoprofil og operasjonelle hensyn tilsier en slik begrensning.
These limitations will nevertheless make it possible to invest the Bond Fund in a broad selection of companies. 
Disse avgrensingene vil likevel gjøre det mulig å investere Obligasjonsfondet i et bredt utvalg av selskaper.
To limit the risk associated with individual issuers, a maximum of 5 per cent of the Fund’s assets can be invested in an individual company. 
For å begrense risikoen knyttet til enkeltutstedere kan makimalt 5 prosent av fondets midler være investert i et enkeltselskap.
The Fund shall invest on market-based terms. 
Fondet skal plasseres på markedsmessige vilkår.

Ecological sustainability and increased production are the basis of the unique opportunities in reindeer husbandry. 
Økologisk bærekraftig drift og økt produksjon danner grunnlaget for de unike mulighetene i reindriften.
The Parliamentary White Paper presents strategies and measures the industry can adopt to better exploit its potential in a rational and market-oriented direction. 
I meldingen presenteres strategier og tiltak for at næringen bedre skal kunne utnytte sitt potensiale i en rasjonell og markedsorientert retning.
Reindeer revenue should as far as possible be generated by selling in-demand products and services to market. 
Reindriftens inntekter skal i størst mulig grad skapes ved å selge etterspurte produkter og tjenester til markedet.
This will secure the basis of the unique industry and cultural heritage carrier which reindeer husbandry is. 
Dette vil sikre grunnlaget for den unike næringen og kulturbæreren som reindriften er.
Old tradition - unique opportunities, which the Government is presenting today. 
Lang tradisjon – unike muligheter, som Regjeringen legger fram i dag.
From mountain to market 
Fra vidde til bord
A well-functioning value chain for reindeer meat is essential to attaining reindeer policy goals. 
En velfungerende verdikjede for reinkjøtt er avgjørende for å nå reindriftspolitiske mål.
The quality of reindeer products has improved. 
Kvaliteten på reinprodukter har økt.
A new classification system for reindeer meat gives reward for animals with a high meat yield. 
Nytt klassifiseringssystem for reinkjøtt premierer slakt med god kjøttfylde.
Through the Annual Reindeer Agreement, the Government intends to link various subsidies more directly to the new system. 
Regjeringen ønsker å knytte enkelte tilskuddsordninger over reindriftsavtalen mer direkte til det nye systemet.
– Reindeer Husbandry is to be conceived as a modern and competitive industry which supplies meat to a market that demands healthy and safe food, the Minister for Agriculture and Food Jon Georg Dale says. 
– Reindriften forutsettes å være en moderne og konkurransedyktig næring som leverer kjøtt til et marked som etterspør sunn og trygg mat, sier landbruks- og matminister Jon Georg Dale.

Strategies and measures in reindeer husbandry policy 
Se - Strategier og tiltak i reindriftspolitikken
Mandatory individual marking 
Obligatorisk individmerking
To strengthen the position of reindeer husbandry, the government will initiate a long term program of mandatory individual marking. 
For å styrke reindriftens posisjon vil regjeringen på sikt innføre obligatorisk individmerking.
This marking will supplement traditional earmarking. 
Slik merking vil komme i tillegg til tradisjonell øremerking.
– Such marking will give herd owners faster and safer settlement from abattoirs for their reindeer, says Dale. 
– Slik merking vil gi reineierne et raskere og sikrere oppgjør hos slakteriet for sine rein, sier Dale.
– Individual marking also enables efficient control of the number of reindeer. 
– I tillegg gir individmerking mulighet for å kontrollere reintallet på en effektiv måte.
Livestock numbers are a critical parameter for the operation of any individual reindeer herder, Jon Georg Dale emphasizes. 
Reintallet er en avgjørende rammebetingelse for driften til den enkelte reindriftsutøver, poengterer Jon Georg Dale.
Publication of the reindeer stock figures 
Offentliggjøring av reintall
The government wants to repeal the ban on publication of individual reindeer owners' stock figures and to make these available to others in the reindeer trade. 
Regjeringen ønsker å oppheve forbudet mot offentliggjøring av enkeltutøveres reintall slik at dette blir tilgjengelig for andre i reindriften.
– Owners knowing each other's livestock numbers will afford securities when aiming for a high harvest yield, says Dale. 
– Når utøverne kjenner hverandres reintall, skapes trygghet for å sikre et høyt slakteuttak, sier Dale.
Internal autonomy 
Internt selvstyre
– The internal autonomy which the reindeer industry achieved in the 2007 Reindeer Act must be continued and strengthened, Dale says. 
– Det interne selvstyret som reindriftsnæringen fikk gjennom reindriftsloven i 2007 må bli videreført og forsterket, sier Dale.
Authentic experiences 
Autentiske opplevelser
The reindeer herding way of life can offer unique and authentic experiences in tourism, and special services for education and health services. 
Reindriften kan tilby unike og autentiske opplevelser innen reiseliv, og tilpassede tjenester innen læring og omsorg.
The values that families can generate from reindeer husbandry in addition to meat production, are crucial for the income potential. 
De verdiene som familiene kan skape i tillegg til kjøttproduksjonen, er avgjørende for inntektsgrunnlaget.
As laid down in the Consultation Agreement, the Sami Parliament and Norwegian Sami Reindeer Herders' Association have been consulted on measures proposed in the Parliamentary White Paper. 
I tråd med konsultasjonsavtalen er det gjennomført konsultasjoner med Sametinget og Norske Reindriftsamers Landsforbund om forslag til tiltak i meldingen.
The consultations have contributed to a thorough review of reindeer husbandry policy. 
Konsultasjonene har bidratt til en grundig gjennomgang av reindriftspolitikken.
