‘The UN General Assembly is a unique arena. 
– FNs generalforsamling er en unik arena.
I look forward to promoting international cooperation and Norway’s interests at the world’s largest meeting place,’ said Prime Minister Erna Solberg. 
Jeg ser frem til å fremme internasjonalt samarbeid og norske interesser på verdens største møteplass, sier statsminister Erna Solberg.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg is leading the Norwegian delegation to the 71st General Assembly. 
Statsministeren leder Norges delegasjon til FNs 71. generalforsamling.
This year’s overarching theme is the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which world leaders agreed on last year. 
Det overordnede temaet er gjennomføring av de globale bærekraftsmålene mot fattigdom, som verden ble enige om i fjor.
International engagement is needed in a number of areas to achieve these goals. 
For å nå disse målene trengs internasjonalt engasjement på en rekke områder.
Norway will play an active role in efforts to find solutions to challenges such as the refugee and migration crisis, violent extremism, youth unemployment, the spread of infectious diseases, and the negative impacts of climate change. 
Norge vil være aktivt engasjert i å finne løsninger på utfordringer som flyktning- og migrasjonskrisen, voldelig ekstremisme, ungdomsarbeidsledighet, spredning av smittsomme sykdommer og skadelige klimaendringer.
Management of marine resources, promotion of women’s rights and, not least, education are other important issues for Norway. 
Forvaltning av havets ressurser, arbeidet for kvinners rettigheter og ikke minst utdanning er andre viktige saker for Norge.
‘Over two billion people are currently living in poverty. 
- Over to milliarder mennesker lever i fattigdom.
The world has no choice but to give priority to providing better education for future generations. 
Verden har ikke noe valg, vi er nødt til å prioritere bedre utdanning for nye generasjoner.
In order to meet future challenges relating to climate change, conflict, unemployment and migration, we need highly educated societies,’ Ms Solberg said. 
Vi trenger kunnskapsrike samfunn for å løse fremtidens utfordringer knyttet til klima, konflikter, arbeidsløshet og migrasjon, sier statsminister Solberg.
She also proposed the establishment of the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity, which is due to present a report with recommendations to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on 18 September. 
Hun er også initiativtaker til den globale utdanningskommisjonen, som 18. september skal overlevere en rapport med anbefalinger til FNs generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon.
‘The world has seen huge social and economic progress since the UN was founded in 1945. 
- Verden har opplevd en enorm sosial og økonomisk utvikling siden FN ble dannet.
But today’s international situation is also characterised by unpredictability and instability, and in many places human rights are coming under increasing pressure. 
Men per i dag er også den internasjonale situasjonen preget av uforutsigbarhet og ustabilitet, og menneskerettighetene er mange steder under økende press.
That is why the international community needs a strong and relevant UN that is able to deal with the common challenges we are facing,’ Ms Solberg said. 
Derfor trenger vårt globale samfunn et sterkt og relevant FN som har evne til å håndtere våre felles utfordringer, sier Solberg.
Other members of the Norwegian delegation include Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende, Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie, Minister of Climate and Environment Vidar Helgesen and Minister of Immigration and Integration Sylvi Listhaug. 
Med i delegasjonen er utenriksminister Børge Brende, helse- og omsorgsminister Bent Høie, miljø- og klimaminister Vidar Helgesen og innvandring- og integreringsminister Sylvi Listhaug.
Representatives of civil society and two youth delegates will also be part of the Norwegian delegation at the opening of the UN General Assembly. 
Representanter for sivilsamfunn og to ungdomsdelegater vil også delta i den norske delegasjonen under åpningen av FNs generalforsamling.
Foreign Minister Børge Brende will present recommendations on the future role of the UN. 
Utenriksministeren skal legge frem anbefalinger om hvilken rolle FN bør ha i fremtiden.
The high-level week of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly will begin on 19 September with a summit on refugees and migrants, which both Ms Solberg and Ms Listhaug will be participating in. 
Høynivåuken under FNs 71. generalforsamling innledes med toppmøtet om migrasjon 19. september, der både Solberg og Listhaug deltar.
The general debate will begin on 20 September and will last until 29 September. 
Generaldebatten starter 20. september og varer fram til 29. september.

Norway’s main priorities for the UN General Assembly 
Norges hovedsaker når verden samles i FN
World leaders are meeting in New York for the 71st session of the UN General Assembly, which will open with a week of high-level meetings beginning on 19 September. 
Verdens ledere møtes i FNs hovedkvarter i New York fra 19. september.
The Government’s cultural policy is aimed at promoting a cultural sphere based on local participation. 
Regjeringens kulturpolitikk skal stimulere til et kulturliv som vokser ut fra et lokalt engasjement.
Culture is where the people are. 
Kulturen er der folk er.
Delegating authority to and strengthening the regions will thus continue to comprise an important part of the cultural policy framework in years to come. 
Maktspredning og styrking av regionene er derfor viktige bærebjelker i kulturpolitikken også i årene som kommer.
“2016 is the year in which our cultural policy implementation is clearly reflected in the budget. 
- 2016 er året hvor gjennomføringen av vår kulturpolitikk vises tydelig i budsjettet.
In our first two years we have ticked off many of the points set out in the Sundvolden Declaration for the cultural sphere,” says Minister of Culture Thorhild Widvey. 
I våre to første år har vi kvittert ut mange av Sundvoldenplattformens punkter på kulturfeltet, sier kulturminister Thorhild Widvey.
“Our cultural policy is based on the unique intrinsic value that culture has for the individual. 
- Vår kulturpolitikk tar utgangspunkt i den unike egenverdien kultur har for den enkelte.
It is a key objective to promote a rich cultural life marked by diversity, freedom and integrity.” 
Et rikt kulturliv preget av mangfold, frihet og integritet er et viktig mål.
“The Government recognises that civil society and the market alone will be unable to achieve this. 
Regjeringen ser at sivilsamfunnet og markedet ikke alene kan sørge for dette.
Therefore we will maintain strong state funding of the cultural sphere in the years ahead as well,” Ms Widvey states. 
Derfor legger vi også i årene som kommer opp til en sterk statlig finansiering av kulturlivet, sier Widvey.
The Government has recommended bringing the allocation to the cultural budget up to NOK 13 billion in the proposed national budget. 
I forslaget til kulturbudsjett øker regjeringen bevilgningen til 13 milliarder kroner.
In 2015 one-year grants were provided for the preparation of the Youth Olympic Games and the 2015 Church of Norway elections. 
I 2015 ble det bevilget ettårige tilskudd til forberedelse av Ungdoms-OL og kirkevalgene i 2015.
Correcting for these allocations, the budget increase amounts to NOK 566.3 million or 4.5 per cent. 
Korrigert for dette er budsjettøkningen på 566,3 millioner kroner eller 4,5 prosent.
In addition, the introduction of a zero-rate VAT on electronic newspapers has been proposed. 
I tillegg foreslås det å innføre nullsats for merverdiavgift på e-aviser.
The effect on revenues is estimated to be NOK 350 million in 2016. 
Provenyeffekten av dette forslaget er beregnet til 350 millioner kroner i 2016.
Main priorities in 2016 
Hovedprioriteringer i 2016
Zero-rate VAT for electronic news services 
Nullsats for merverdiavgift for elektroniske nyhetstjenester
The Government seeks to modernise its media policy instruments through more equal treatment of the media, independent of technological platform. 
Regjeringen vil modernisere det mediepolitiske virkemiddelapparatet gjennom økt likebehandling av mediene, uavhengig av teknologisk plattform.
Therefore, the Government wishes to introduce a zero-rate VAT on electronic news services in 2016. 
Regjeringen ønsker derfor å innføre nullsats for merverdiavgift for elektroniske nyhetstjenester i 2016.
The effect on state revenues is estimated to be NOK 350 million in 2016. 
Proveny-effekten av forslaget er beregnet til 350 millioner kroner i 2016.
“The difference in taxation rates between print newspapers and electronic news media has posed a significant obstacle to innovation and development in the media industry for a number of years. 
- Det avgiftsmessige skillet mellom papiraviser og elektroniske nyhetsmedier har i en årrekke vært et vesentlig hinder for innovasjon og utvikling i mediebransjen.
By removing this obstacle, the Government will make it possible for the media industry to develop and offer future-oriented news media products to end-users irrespective of platform,” says Minister of Culture Thorhild Widvey. 
Når vi nå fjerner dette hinderet sørger regjeringen for at mediebransjen kan utvikle og tilby fremtidsrettede medieprodukter til brukerne, uavhengig av plattform, sier kulturminister Thorhild Widvey.
The Government intends to submit formal notification of the VAT exemption on electronic news services to the EFTA Surveillance Authority as soon as possible. 
Det tas sikte på å sende formell notifikasjon av et merverdiavgiftsfritak for elektroniske nyhetstjenester til EFTAs overvåkingsorgan (ESA) så snart som mulig.
Proposed amendments to the VAT Act will be presented at the same time as the national budget for 2016. 
Forslag til endringer i merverdiavgiftsloven vil fremmes samtidig med statsbudsjettet for 2016.
The exemption will enter into effect as soon as approval from the EFTA Surveillance Authority has been granted and regulations are established. 
Fritaket vil bli iverksatt så snart ESAs godkjenning foreligger og forskrift er fastsatt.
An additional NOK 15 million for expansion of the gift reinforcement programme 
15 millioner mer til utvidet gaveforsterkningsordning
The Government will increase private sector funding of cultural activities by expanding the gift reinforcement programme and creating a better framework for private funds and foundations. 
Regjeringen vil gjennom gaveforsterkningsordningen og bedre tilrettelegging for private fond og stiftelser styrke den private finansieringen av kulturlivet.
“The gift reinforcement programme has been highly successful and we will enhance and expand the scheme in 2016. 
- Gaveforsterkningsordningen har vært svært vellykket, og i 2016 vil vi styrke og videreutvikle ordningen.
The Government would like to see more private funding and more private capital for Norwegian cultural activities. 
Regjeringen ønsker mer privat finansiering og mer private penger i norsk kulturliv.
