Norway concerned about prison sentence for homosexuality 
Norge reagerer på homofilidom
Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza have been in prison since their public engagement in December 2009. 
Tiwonge Chimbalanga og Steven Monjeza har vært fengslet siden de forlovet seg offentlig i romjulen 2009.
This week they were convicted for “unnatural acts and gross indecency”. 
Denne uken ble de dømt for homofil atferd og «grov uanstendighet».
They were given the maximum sentence of 14 years’ imprisonment. 
De fikk 14 års fengsel, som er lovens strengeste straff.
The couple has appealed to the Supreme Court, which means that the sentence is not final. 
Paret anker til høyesterett, og dommen derfor ikke rettskraftig.
“Norway regrets the conviction of the Malawian couple Tiwonge and Steven. 
- Norge beklager domfellelsen av det malawiske paret Tiwonge og Steven.
It is unacceptable that they are being punished for wanting to live together in a loving relationship,” said Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim. 
Det er kritikkverdig at de to blir straffet fordi de ønsker å leve sammen i kjærlighet, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
Norway and the EU are concerned about homophobia and discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in Malawi.

“It worries me that Malawi is now reviving a dormant provision of its penal code. 
- Jeg er bekymret for at Malawi nå vekker til live en sovende lovparagraf.
This could set a precedent for criminal prosecution on the basis of sexual orientation. 
Det kan skape et mønster for å straffeforfølge mennesker på grunn av seksuell orientering.
In Norway’s view, this is not in keeping with human rights,” said Mr Solheim. 
Norge mener det ikke er i tråd med menneskerettighetene, sier Solheim.
The Minister of the Environment and International Development raised this matter with the Malawian authorities when he visited the country in March.

Recommends that Storting says yes to Services Directive 
Anbefaler Stortinget å si ja til tjenestedirektivet
The Government has submitted a proposition to the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament) on incorporation of the EU Services Directive into the EEA Agreement. 
Regjeringen har oversendt proposisjonen om å innlemme EUs tjenestedirektiv i EØS-avtalen til Stortinget.
The ministers from the Socialist Left Party and the Centre Party expressed their dissent when the matter was dealt with in the Council of State. 
Statsrådene fra SV og Senterpartiet tok dissens da saken ble behandlet i statsråd.
Today, the Government submitted a proposition to the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament) on incorporation of the EU Services Directive into the EEA Agreement. 
Regjeringen har i dag oversendt proposisjonen om å innlemme EUs tjenestedirektiv i EØS-avtalen til Stortinget.
“The Services Directive will make it easier for Norwegian companies to sell their services and establish operations in EU countries,” commented Minister of Trade and Industry Sylvia Brustad. 
-Tjenestedirektivet vil gjøre det enklere for norske bedrifter å selge sine tjenester og etablere seg i EU-land.
In addition, the directive sets out an obligation to cooperate on supervision. 
-I tillegg inneholder direktivet regler om plikt til samarbeid om tilsyn.
This will give us better opportunities for monitoring service providers than we have today.” 
Dette vil kunne gi oss bedre muligheter til å holde kontroll med tjenesteytere enn vi har i dag.
Around 80% of Norwegian trade is with EU and EEA countries. 
Om lag 80 prosent av all norsk handel skjer med EU- og EØS-landene.
The directive will facilitate cross-border trade in services. 
Direktivet vil gjøre det enklere å handle med tjenester over landegrensene.
“With our open economy, we are totally dependent on international trade working properly. 
-Med Norges åpne økonomi er vi helt avhengige av at den internasjonale handelen fungerer.
Ms Brustad emphasised that the Services Directive will not affect the Government’s efforts to prevent social dumping. 
Brustad understreker at tjenestedirektivet ikke er til hinder for regjeringens arbeid mot sosial dumping.
“The directive does not require us to abolish public monopolies, and it does not prevent privatised services being returned to local government administration. 
-Direktivet pålegger oss heller ikke å avskaffe offentlige monopoler, og det hindrer ikke re-kommunalisering av privatiserte tjenester.
This is stated explicitly in the directive.” 
Dette fremgår uttrykkelig av direktivet.
All the reports on the Services Directive that the Government has commissioned – both within and outside the public administration – conclude that it will not have any appreciable negative consequences for Norway. 
Samtlige utredninger om tjenestedirektivet som regjeringen har fått gjennomført, både interne og eksterne, konkluderer med at direktivet ikke vil ha negative konsekvenser av betydning i Norge.
The proposition that the Government submitted today recommends that the Storting consents to the EEA Joint Committee deciding that the Services Directive should be incorporated into the EEA Agreement. 
Proposisjonen som regjeringen i dag har fremmet gjelder Stortingets samtykke til at EØS-komiteen kan fatte beslutning om å innlemme tjenestedirektivet i EØS-avtalen.
“In connection with the decision of the EEA Joint Committee, we will put forward a declaration emphasising that the Services Directive will not prevent us from pursuing an ambitious policy to prevent social dumping,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
-I forbindelse med beslutning i EØS-komiteen vil vi fremme en erklæring som understreker at tjenestedirektivet ikke hindrer at vi fører en ambisiøs politikk mot sosial dumping, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
A minority of the Government ministers (the ministers from the Social Left Party and the Centre Party) expressed dissent and made the following statement: 
Regjeringens mindretall (statsrådene fra SV og Senterpartiet) har tatt dissens og uttalt:
Consequences in Norway The deadline for implementing the directive is 28 December 2009. 
Konsekvenser i Norge Gjennomføringsfristen for direktivet er 28. desember 2009.
Implementation will require adaptations in the Norwegian public administration in connection with cooperation on supervision and the establishment of a contact point for providers of services in connection with the portal Altinn.no. 
Gjennomføringen vil kreve tilpasninger i norsk forvaltning når det gjelder tilsynssamarbeid og opprettelse av et elektronisk kontaktpunkt for tjenesteytere som vil være et videreutviklet Altinn.no.
It will also be necessary to make certain amendments to existing legislation. 
Det vil også være nødvendig å gjøre enkelte endringer i eksisterende lover eller forskrifter som følge av tjenestedirektivet.
None of these will be substantial. 
Ingen av endringene er av vesentlig karakter.
In connection with the public consultation that was held from July to October 2008, the Government proposed that certain provisions in the directive should be implemented in a separate act on services. 
I den offentlige høringen som ble avholdt fra juli til oktober 2008, foreslo regjeringen at visse bestemmelser i tjenestedirektivet gjennomføres i en egen lov om tjenestevirksomhet.
This will be followed up by a proposition to the Odelsting, which is scheduled to be submitted to the Storting during the 2009 spring session. 
Dette vil følges opp i en odelstingsproposisjon som er planlagt forelagt Stortinget i løpet av vårsesjonen 2009.
”It is unfortunate that the expansion of settlements continues despite the strong reactions from the international community over a number of years. 
- Det er negativt at utvidelsene av bosettinger fortsetter på tross av sterke reaksjoner fra det internasjonale samfunn over flere år.
I urge the Israeli authorities to reverse their decision to build these housing units,” said Mr Støre. 
Jeg oppfordrer israelske myndigheter til å omgjøre sin beslutning om å bygge disse boenhetene, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
