The Research Council of Norway’s High North Conference 2008, Kirkenes, 26 November 2008 
Forskningsrådets Nordområdekonferanse 2008, Kirkenes, 26. november 2008
One is the strategy’s foreign policy dimension, which has a bearing on all the other areas. 
Det ene er den utenrikspolitiske dimensjonen ved nordområdestrategien, den griper inn i alle de andre.
The other area is knowledge, expertise and research, Foreign Minister Støre said in his speech in Kirkenes on 26.11.08. 
Det andre er kunnskap, kompetanse, forskning, sa utenriksminister Støre bl.a. i sin åpningstale til Nordområdekonferansen.

Sjekkes mot framføringen
Ladies and gentlemen, 
Kjære alle sammen,
First of all I would like to thank the Research Council of Norway for inviting me to participate in this conference. 
Først av alt: En stor takk til Forskningsrådet for invitasjonen til å delta på denne konferansen.
It is a great pleasure for me both to be here in Kirkenes and to meet representatives of the Research Council. 
Det er en stor glede både å komme til Kirkenes og å møte Forskningsrådet.
Some have made fun of the Government’s High North efforts, claiming that they amount to little more than an increasing number of conferences. 
Noen har gjort seg lystige på at Nordområdesatsingen begrenser seg til et økende antall konferanser.
This is of course not true. 
Det er selvsagt feil.
What is more, if the conferences in question foster agreement, common understanding and insight into what needs to be done, we can live with such claims. 
Men når konferansene bygger enighet, felles forståelse og innsikt om handling, så kan vi fint leve med slike påstander.
And this conference is one of these. 
Denne konferansen er en slik!
The Research Council of Norway has established itself as a key actor as regards innovation, initiatives and activities in the north, and this conference is but one of many examples of this. 
Forskningsrådet har etablert seg som en av de aller mest sentrale aktørene når det gjelder nytenkning, satsing og virksomhet i nord, noe denne konferansen er ett av mange eksempler på.
Just think of the International Polar Year and the huge boost it provided – both in Norway and internationally. 
Tenk bare på Polaråret og det store løftet det har vært – i Norge og internasjonalt.
We can’t turn everything we are doing in this connection into news items, but at times I think it’s a pity we aren’t able to tell the exciting stories behind all the projects. 
Vi kan vanskelig lage nyhetssaker på alt det som inngår i denne satsingen, men noen ganger er jeg lei meg for at vi ikke får fortalt de spennende historiene bak de mange prosjektene.
They would make truly fascinating news stories. 
Det hadde blitt fascinerende historier.
I often say that knowledge is at the core of our High-North efforts. 
Jeg bruker ofte å si at ”kunnskap er navet i nordområdesatsingen”.
I could also call it the fulcrum, the pivotal point. 
Ja, selve navet – midtblokken på et hjul, trådene som samler seg, kjernen.
I am pleased that the Research Council is focusing on the High North, and I hope to see more of this and to be able to contribute myself. 
At Forskningsrådet setter nordområdene i fokus i sitt arbeid, er jeg glad for – vil gjerne se mer av og bidra til.
The implementation of the Government’s High North Strategy, which was presented in Tromsø almost exactly two years ago, is being followed up in a number of areas. 
I oppfølgingen av Regjeringens nordområdestrategi – presentert for nesten nøyaktig 2 år siden i Tromsø – følger vi opp innenfor en rekke saksfelt.
There are 22 specific points. 
22 punkter.
The environment, business development, infrastructure and maritime surveillance are a few of these areas. 
Miljø, næringsutvikling, infrastruktur og havovervåking, for å nevne noe.
Two of the areas stand out due to their cross-sectoral nature. 
Av alle feltene er det to som står i en særstilling, fordi de er sektorovergripende.
One is the strategy’s foreign policy dimension, which has a bearing on all the other areas. 
Det ene feltet er den utenrikspolitiske dimensjonen ved nordområdestrategien, den griper inn i alle de andre.
The other area is knowledge, expertise and research. 
Det andre feltet er kunnskap, kompetanse, forskning.
Research is also an area in its own right, and is likely to be an important growth area in the future. 
Forskning et saksområde i seg selv, og en betydelig vekstnæring i tiden framover.
However, research is a basic element that is linked to almost all other areas. 
Men samtidig er forskning grunnleggende, feltet har bånd til nesten alt annet.
It is therefore an element that is crucial to success. 
En helt nødvendig del for å lykkes.
One of the things I value most in my job as Foreign Minister is that it allows me to travel so much within Norway – and with good reason. 
Noe av det jeg setter størst pris på i jobben som utenriksminister, er at jeg også kan reise så mye innenriks – med god grunn.
Such as meeting and maintaining close contact with people and networks in North Norway. 
Som å møte og holde en tett og god kontakt med mennesker og miljøer i Nord-Norge.
I find this very inspiring. 
Det er inspirerende.
It also underlines something we often say, namely that the distinction between domestic and foreign policy is blurring. 
Og det bygger opp under det vi ofte sier – at forskjellene mellom innenriks og utenriks ikke er så klare.
And that the fundamental goal of foreign policy is to make domestic policy possible. 
Eller at det grunnleggende målet for utenrikspolitikken er å gjøre innenrikspolitikken mulig.
At this time of year it is dark day and night in Kirkenes. 
Nå er det mørkt dagen rundt i Kirkens.
The last time I was here, there was continuous daylight. 
Sist jeg var her slapp vi aldri lyset.
That was in June, when I was here together with my Russian colleague Sergei Lavrov. 
Jeg var her med min russiske kollega Sergej Lavrov i juni.
I will return to the issue of Norway and Russia a bit later. 
Vel, jeg skal senere komme litt tilbake til Norge og Russland.
There is another important reason to travel north. 
Det er annen viktig grunn for å reise nordover.
This is the centre of what is becoming a strategic region of great importance to us, to Europe and to the world. 
Dette er sentrum i det som seiler opp som en strategisk region av så stor betydning for oss, for Europa og for verden.
But these changes also herald opportunities created by new transport routes across the Arctic Ocean to Asia. 
Men også ny giv for å utnytte mulighetene fra nye transportveier over polhavet mot Asia.
And by access to resources, both renewable and non-renewable. 
Tilgang til naturressurser, fornybare og nye ikke-fornybare.
And then there is the issue of managing our relations and cooperating with Russia – a neighbour in a process of change, the outcome of which remains to be seen. 
Samarbeid og mestring av forholdet til Russland – vår nabo i uviss utvikling.
All of this means that we will continue to define the High North as the Government’s most important strategic priority area. 
Alt dette er nok til at vi fortsatt vil definere nordområdene som regjeringens viktigste strategiske satsingsområde, også inn i en ny stortingsperiode.
And just wait and see – the whole world is about to open its eyes: neighbouring countries, the EU, transatlantic friends and even Asian countries. 
Og vent og se – en hel verden er også på vei til å få opp øynene, naboer, EU, venner over Atlanterhavet og stater like fra Asia.
We are talking not only about foreign policy, where the perspective is out towards the world, from the shore out to sea, but also about domestic policy – about value creation, culture and livelihoods on land, which is after all where we live our lives. 
Dette er utenrikspolitikk – utsynet er mot verden – fra kysten mot havet – og innenrikspolitikk- om verdiskaping, kultur og livsgrunnlag til lands der vi tross alt lever våre liv.
The Norwegian foreign minister should therefore – and indeed wants to – travel a lot, both in North Norway and in the whole Barents Region. 
Derfor må og vil og ønsker en norsk utenriksminister å reise mye til og i den nordlige landsdelen, og i hele Barentsregionen.
In this age of globalisation we are reminded of the following strategic fact: North Norway is ”the most globalised part” of our country. 
I globaliseringens tidsalder minnes vi på dette strategiske faktum: Nord-Norge er vår ”mest globaliserte landsdel”.
And what does that mean? 
Hva betyr det?
They require coordination between people across borders, a communication network in our age of borderless information technology. 
Et samspill mellom mennesker på kryss og tvers over grensene, og en vev av kommunikasjon på kryss og tvers over de grenser som ikke lenger finnes innen vår tids informasjonsteknologi.
And as everywhere else, economic development and resource management depend on scientific knowledge. 
Og som overalt ellers er næringsveier og ressursforvaltning avhengig av vitenskapelig basert kunnskap.
Knowledge is the fulcrum. 
”Navet” – midtblokken på et hjul.
The politician in me was formed largely during the eight years I worked with Gro Harlem Brundtland – both in Norway and in the World Health Organization. 
Mye av politikeren i meg ble formet gjennom samarbeidet med Gro Harlem Brundtland gjennom åtte år – i Norge og i Verdens Helseorganisasjon.
I could talk for hours about Gro’s personality and political method. 
Mye kan sies om Gros personlighet og politiske metode.
It was a joy to observe. 
Det var underholdende å følge.
However, it is not only researchers who provide such knowledge. 
Ikke all slik viten kommer fra forskerne.
It can also be acquired through life and long experience. 
Den kommer også fra levde liv og lang erfaring.
But we cannot permit ourselves to ignore any scientific knowledge. 
Men ikke noe av forskernes viten har vi lov til å se bort fra.
We must listen, reflect and learn. 
Lytte, tenke og lære.
Let me take an example that is near at hand: the entire basis for the joint Norwegian-Russian management of fish stocks in the Barents Sea, a practical task that has been very successful seen in an international context, will crumble if we don’t have reliable scientific data. 
Ett nærliggende eksempel: Hele grunnlaget for den norsk-russiske forvaltningen av fiskebestandene i Barentshavet, et veldig praktisk anliggende som i internasjonal sammenheng har vært god og vellykket, er ikke mulig å skape hvis vi ikke har pålitelige forskningsresultater.
We certainly hope they are reliable now that we have recommended a 20% increase in the total allowable catches for cod. 
Vi håper de er gode nå da vi har anbefalt en 20 % økning i torskekvotene.
Research expeditions in each other’s economic zone and exchange and comparison of data are essential if we are to achieve satisfactory results. 
Forskningstokter i hverandres økonomiske soner, utveksling og sammenlikning av data, er en forutsetning for gode resultater.
And if we are to make good recommendations and sound decisions. 
Og for fornuftige tilrådninger og kloke vedtak.
For example, the minke whale was not, and is not, an endangered species. 
Vågehvalen for eksempel, var ikke, og er ikke, utryddingstruet.
It should therefore be harvested. 
Derfor må den høstes.
Our position was not mere conjecture. 
Dette var ikke noe vi synset om.
It was based on facts, data compiled and assessed by Norwegian and international scientists over many years, research that required considerable resources. 
Vi bygget på det norske og internasjonale forskere hadde funnet ut, tellet og vurdert over flere år – med stor ressursinnsats.
We have always claimed that sustainable management must be based on the best available knowledge. 
En bærekraftig forvaltningstradisjon basert på best tilgjengelige kunnskap.
However, we see that this will continue to be a challenge. 
Dette kommer til å bli en utfordring.
The EU’s Artic strategy gives reason to believe that sealing and whaling will continue to be challenging issues. 
EUs arktiske strategi innvarsler at blant annet sel og hval fortsatt vil være en utfordring.
The same thinking underlies our integrated management plan for the Barents Sea and the sea areas off the Lofoten Islands. 
Denne samme tenkningen ligger bak vår helhetlige forvaltningsplan for Barentshavet og havområdene utenfor Lofoten.
There are those who trivialise the management plan by calling it a political compromise, as if it were a mere trade-off between conflicting interests. 
Noen nedvurderer forvaltningsplanen ved å kalle den et politisk kompromiss – som et slags møte på halvveien mellom noen som vil ha det ene, og noen som vil ha det andre.
But the importance and value of compromises are grossly undervalued in much of our debate. 
Men kompromissets verdi er sterkt undervurdert i vårt ordskifte.
The fact is that virtually everybody wants both rich fisheries and petroleum development. 
Faktum er at nesten alle vil helst ha begge deler – både ressursrike fiskerier og utvikling av petroleumsvirksomheten.
But can we be sure that both are possible? 
Men vet vi sikkert at det er mulig?
And how should we weigh the various considerations? 
Og hvordan avveier vi hensynene?
It is essential that we apply the precautionary principle. 
Vi er nødt til å legge et føre vàr prinsipp til grunn.
This has had a clear impact on the first management plan. 
Det preger den første planen.
It is not merely a question of choosing, but also of balancing concerns. 
Det dreier seg ikke bare om å velge, men om å balansere.
In our time – these days – in fact right now, there is growing awareness of issues related to the Arctic and the fascinating Arctic Basin. 
I vår tid, i disse dager, akkurat nå – så øker oppmerksomheten om Arktis og det fascinerende Polhavbassenget.
During the past three years I have noted that the term “the Arctic” and what we in Norway call “the High North” seem to have amalgamated in people’s awareness. 
Jeg opplever at det har skjedd de siste tre årene, at Arktis og det vi i Norge kaller for Nordområdene, har vokst sammen.
They form one exciting and challenging whole. 
Det er en del av en spennende og krevende helhet.
Some may even become despondent. 
Og noen motløse, kanskje.
Climate change is happening more rapidly than most people believed was possible only a few years ago. 
Dette går fortere enn de fleste trodde var mulig for bare få år siden.
We know too little about the impact this will have on animal life and the whole Arctic ecosystem. 
Vi vet for lite om hvilke konsekvenser dette vil få.
What we do know is that the Arctic offers front-row seats for observing global warming. 
For dyreliv, for hele økologien i Arktis.
That the melting ice is our times’ canary in the coalmine. 
At den smeltende isen er vår tids kanarifugl i kull gruven – the canary in the coalmine.
We need to see the bigger picture. 
De store sammenhengene.
How can this development be managed in a responsible way? 
Hvordan vil det kunne skje på en forsvarlig måte?
These are important questions that will need good answers soon. 
Viktige spørsmål som snarlig trenger gode svar.
We will have to find them in the Arctic Council, the International Maritime Organization and other bodies and institutions both within and outside the UN. 
Vi må søke etter dem i organer som Arktisk Råd, IMO og andre faginstitusjoner, i og utenfor FN.
It is also the case that new technology needs to be developed to realise the potential for business development. 
Det er også et faktum at ny teknologi må utvikles for å kunne utnytte potensialet for næringsutvikling.
The Shtokman field in the Russian part of the Barents Sea is a good example. 
Stockman-feltet i russisk del av Barentshavet er et godt eksempel.
All in all, this means that we need more and better research, more systematic knowledge-building. 
Summen av alt dette er at vi trenger mer forskning, bedre forskning, kunnskap og systematisk bygging av forståelse.
This knowledge will also be used by others because it is objective, not angled to support the position of any party. 
Forståelse som vil deles av andre fordi den er genuin og ikke partsinnlegg.
When the foreign ministers from the five Arctic coastal states met in Greenland in May there was a lot of focus on climate issues. 
Da utenriksministrene fra de fem arktiske kyststatene var samlet på Grønland i mai var det mye fokus på klima.
To me there can hardly be a more compelling argument for increasing research in this field. 
For meg finnes det knapt bedre begrunnelse for å satse på økt forskning.
