- Today, Norwegian consumers subsidize Jarlsberg cheese sold abroad, with more than 130 million NOK annually. 
- Norske forbrukere subsidierer i dag Jarlsbergost som selges til utlandet med over 130 millioner kroner i året.
We therefore wish to phase out export subsidies by the end of 2019, says Minister of Agriculture and Food Sylvi Listhaug. 
Derfor bør vi avvikle eksportsubsidiene innen utgangen av 2019, sier landbruks- og matminister Sylvi Listhaug.
In 2013, the cost of subsidizing export of 12 962.5 tonnes of cheese was 132 million NOK. 
I 2013 ble det brukt 132 millioner kroner til å subsidiere eksport av 12 962,5 tonn ost.
Along with Canada and Switzerland, Norway has been one of the few countries still to use export subsidies for selected products. 
Norge er sammen med Canada og Sveits blant de få land som bruker eksportsubsidier for noen få produkter.
In the Ministerial Declaration adopted at the 2005 WTO ministerial meeting, Norway agreed to end export refunds by the end of 2013 as part of the Doha Round. 
I ministererklæringen som ble vedtatt på WTO sitt ministermøte i 2005 sluttet Norge seg til at eksportstøtten skulle fases ut innen utgangen av 2013 som en del av Doha-runden.
Since this round of negotiations has not been finalized, this decision is yet to be fully implemented.

Forord til publikasjonen lansert 30.08.2007
- Norway will strengthen its political cooperation with countries in Africa, including promoting a strong and equitable multilateral trading system, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jonas Gahr Støre writes in his foreword. 
- Norge vil styrke det politiske samarbeidet med afrikanske land – ikke minst for å fremme et sterkt og rettferdig multilateralt system, skriver utenriksminister Støre forordet.
Norway will strengthen its political cooperation with countries in Africa, including promoting a strong and equitable multilateral trading system. 
Norge vil styrke det politiske samarbeidet med afrikanske land – ikke minst for å fremme et sterkt og rettferdig multilateralt system.
We will help to build strong democracies and pan-African institutions. 
Vi vil bidra til å bygge sterke demokratier og felles afrikanske institusjoner.
We will be at the forefront of efforts to promote human rights, gender equality and environmental protection. 
Vi skal stå i fremste rekke for å fremme menneskerettigheter, likestilling og miljø.
We will renew our efforts to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals, through such means as increasing our support for peace processes and good governance in Africa. 
Vi vil fornye innsatsen for å nå FNs Tusenårsmål, blant annet gjennom sterkere støtte til fred og godt styresett i Afrika.
Norway will share the experience it has gained of equitable and efficient utilisation of natural resources with African countries. 
Norge skal dele erfaringer om rettferdig og effektiv utnyttelse av naturressurser med afrikanske land.
Africa is undergoing change. 
Afrika er i endring.
The continent is becoming an increasingly important international actor – both politically and economically. 
Kontinentet er i ferd med å bli en stadig viktigere internasjonal aktør, både politisk og økonomisk.
Weak states can become havens for terrorists, and have little possibility of stopping the spread of pollution and epidemics. 
Svake stater kan bli fristeder for terrorisme og kan vanskelig stoppe spredning av miljøforurensninger og epidemier.
Norwegian companies that invest in Africa, particularly in the petroleum sector, are also directly affected by developments on the continent. 
Norske selskaper som investerer i Afrika, ikke minst innenfor petroleumssektoren, berøres direkte av utviklingen i disse landene.
Meanwhile, Norwegian tourists travel all over Africa. 
Norske turister reiser over hele kontinentet.
We are receiving growing numbers of labour migrants from Africa. 
Vi berøres også av økende arbeidsmigrasjon fra Afrika.
And the number of illegal migrants from Africa to Europe has increased dramatically in recent years. 
Antallet illegale migranter fra Afrika til Europa har økt dramatisk de senere årene.
Our relations with African countries today encompass much more than just development cooperation and humanitarian assistance. 
Våre relasjoner til Afrika er i dag mye bredere enn utviklingssamarbeid og humanitær bistand.
Peace, development, human rights, democracy and an equitable international world order form the foundation of Norway’s foreign policy. 
Fred, utvikling, menneskerettigheter, demokrati og en rettferdig internasjonal verdensorden er grunnleggende verdier i norsk utenrikspolitikk.
This is our departure point for strengthening our political cooperation with the African continent. 
Dette er utgangspunktet for å styrke det politiske samarbeidet med det afrikanske kontinentet.
Norway and countries in Africa share an interest in strengthening the UN and other international forums for cooperation, with a view to safeguarding international peace and security, protecting the environment and creating a more equal and fair world. 
Norge og afrikanske land har felles interesser i å styrke FN og andre internasjonale samarbeidsinstitusjoner for å trygge internasjonal fred og sikkerhet, sikre miljøet og skape en mer likeverdig og rettferdig verden.
Africa is rich in raw materials, natural resources and biological and cultural diversity. 
Afrika er rikt på råvarer, naturressurser og biologisk og kulturelt mangfold.
However most African countries are struggling against extensive poverty, economic marginalisation, HIV/Aids and other public health issues, and environmental degradation. 
Likevel sliter de fleste afrikanske land med enorme fattigdomsproblemer, økonomisk marginalisering og utfordringer knyttet til hiv/aids, helse og miljø.
Some of these problems are due to external circumstances, but much of the continent has also suffered setbacks as a result of bloody internal conflicts, corruption, poor governance, crime and serious violations of human rights. 
Noe av dette skyldes eksterne forhold, men store deler av kontinentet har også blitt satt tilbake i sin utvikling på grunn av blodige interne konflikter, korrupsjon, vanstyre, kriminalitet og grove brudd på menneskerettighetene.
But without a renewed, coordinated effort by both Africa itself and the international community, these goals will not be achieved on the continent. 
Uten ny og koordinert innsats både fra Afrika selv og det internasjonale samfunn, vil Afrika ikke nå målene.
Meanwhile, Norway will step up its assistance and will work proactively to increase international assistance to the continent. 
Norge vil øke bistanden og arbeide aktivt for å øke den internasjonale bistanden til Afrika.
Africa has enjoyed higher economic growth in recent years. 
Afrika har opplevd en høyere økonomisk vekst de seneste årene.
Five of the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa. 
5 av de 10 hurtigst voksende økonomiene i verden er i Afrika.
However, growth needs to be further increased and stabilised if the MDGs are to be achieved. 
Veksten må likevel økes ytterligere og på varig basis for å nå Tusenårsmålene.
Growth depends on peace and well functioning states that can provide a good framework for the development of the private sector and social infrastructure. 
En forutsetning for vekst er at det er fred, og at det er velfungerende stater som kan legge til rette for utvikling av næringslivet og sosial infrastruktur.
For many of the countries in Southern Africa, progress depends on gaining control over the Aids epidemic. 
For mange av landene i det sørlige Afrika er en forutsetning for dette at landene får kontroll med aids-epidemien.
