Norway doubles support to the Sahrawi population 
Norge dobler støtten til den sahrawiske befolkning
We supports the Secretary-General in his appeal to the parties to engage in direct negotiations without preconditions. 
Vi støtter generalsekretærens oppfordring til partene om direkte forhandlinger uten forhåndsbetingelser.
“The Government will make NOK 11.9 million available in 2009 for various humanitarian measures to improve the situation of the Sahrawi population. 
- Regjeringen vil stille til rådighet 11,9 millioner kroner i 2009 for ulike humanitære tiltak for den sahrawiske befolkningen.
This is more than twice last year’s allocation,” Mr Støre added. 
Dette er mer enn en dobling av fjorårets innsats, sier Støre.
The Norwegian funding will mainly be channelled through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Land Mine Action and Norwegian Church Aid. 
Den norske støtten vil i hovedsak bli kanalisert gjennom FNs høykommissær for flyktninger (UNHCR), Land Mine Action og Kirkens Nødhjelp.

EU repeals anti-dumping measures against Norwegian salmon 
EU opphever antidumpingtiltakene mot norsk laks
The Council of the European Union decided today to repeal the anti-dumping measures on imports of farmed salmon originating in Norway with effect from 20 July. 
EUs ministerråd har i dag besluttet å oppheve antidumpingtiltakene mot norsk oppdrettslaks med virkning fra 20. juli.
This means that the measures imposed by the EU on 21 January 2006 have now been withdrawn in their entirety. 
Dette betyr at de tiltakene som EU innførte 21. januar 2006 i sin helhet er fjernet.
“Norway’s position all along has been that the measures against Norwegian were not justified, which was also confirmed by the WTO. 
- Norge har hele tiden ment at tiltakene mot norsk laks ikke var berettiget noe også WTO bekreftet.
I am pleased that the EU is fulfilling its WTO obligations and now repealing the measures so that the situation of Norwegian salmon on the EU market can be normalised,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
Jeg er glad for at EU oppfyller sine WTO-forpliktelser og nå opphever tiltakene slik at situasjonen for norsk laks på EU-markedet blir normalisert, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Norway brought the anti-dumping measures before the WTO Settlement Body. 
Norge brakte tiltakene inn for tvisteløsning i WTO.
While the dispute proceedings were in progress, the European Commission initiated a review of the measures. 
Mens tvistesaken pågikk i WTO igangsatte EU-kommisjonen en gjennomgang av tiltakene.
“We are pleased that the concerted effort made by the Norwegian authorities and the fish farming industry has been successful. 
- Vi er glad for at målrettet innsats fra norske myndigheter og oppdrettsnæringas side har vunnet fram.
At the same time, we must be aware that the EU will continue to monitor the market situation,” said Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs Helga Pedersen. 
Samtidig må vi være klare over at EU fortsatt vil overvåke markedssituasjonen, sier fiskeri- og kystminister Helga Pedersen.
I look forward to deepening the cooperation, says Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Mr. Tord Lien. 
Jeg ser fram til å videreutvikle det, sier olje- og energiminister Tord Lien.

Sanctions against Iran adopted 
Sanksjoner mot Iran vedtatt
This means a ban on trade in a number of categories of goods and a ban on exports of equipment and technology to the Iranian oil and gas sector. 
Det betyr forbud mot handel med flere varegrupper og forbud mot eksport av utstyr og teknologi til den iranske olje- og gassektoren.
In deciding to adopt further measures against Iran, Norway is following the EU countries. 
Norge følger EU-landene i å vedta ytterligere tiltak mot Iran.
Sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council in June 2010 form the backdrop to these additional measures. 
Disse har bakgrunn i sanksjoner vedtatt av FNs sikkerhetsråd i juni 2010.
The measures also target financial transactions. 
De retter seg også mot finansielle transaksjoner.
The list of persons, entities and bodies subject to asset freezes has also been extended considerably. 
Listen over personer, enheter og organer som rammes av fryspålegg er blitt betydelig utvidet.
On 27 July 2010, the Norwegian authorities decided that Norway would align itself with the EU’s additional measures. 
Norske myndigheter bestemte 27. juli 2010 at Norge skal slutte opp om EUs utvidede tiltak.
One important reason for adapting Norwegian legislation to bring it in line with EU legislation is to ensure that the same rules apply to Norwegian companies and companies in the EU. 
Et viktig hensyn er å tilpasse norsk lovgivning til EUs regelverk slik at det skal gjelde tilsvarende regler for norske bedrifter som for næringslivet i EU-landene.
On 25 October 2010, an implementing regulation (Council Regulation (EU) No 961/2010) was adopted by the EU. 
Et gjennomføringsregelverk ble 25. oktober 2010 vedtatt i EU.
The amendment regulations that were adopted by the Government today implement the additional sanctions and measures in Norwegian law. 
Endringsforskriften som ble vedtatt av regjeringen i dag gjennomfører de utvidede sanksjonene og tiltakene i norsk rett.
The wording of the regulations is close to that of the EU regulation with a view to harmonising Norwegian legislation with that of the EU. 
Forskriftens ordlyd ligger nær forordningens for å oppnå et enhetlig regelverk med EU.
The additional sanctions and measures will enter into force when they are announced, on 18 January. 
De styrkede sanksjonene og tiltakene trer i kraft ved kunngjøringen på 18. januar.
The regulations are available here (in Norwegian only): www.lovdata.no 
Forskriften vil være tilgjengelig på Lovdatas nettsider.
Sanctions against Libya adopted 
Sanksjoner mot Libya vedtatt
The situation in Libya is also regarded as a threat to international peace and security. 
Situasjonen i Libya blir også ansett å utgjøre en trussel mot internasjonal fred og sikkerhet.
“We are following the situation closely and will, together with close partners, consider taking further measures and extending the list of individuals and entities covered by these measures,” said Mr Støre. 
- Vi følger situasjonen nøye og vil i samråd med våre nære samarbeidspartnere løpende vurdere ytterligere tiltak og å utvide listen over personer og enheter som omfattes av frystiltakene, sier utenriksminister Støre.
The regulations enter into force immediately. 
Forskriften trer i kraft straks.
The Libyan regime could not easily transfer assets from Norway previously either. 
Regimet i Libya kunne heller ikke tidligere lett flytte eventuelle midler som befinner seg i Norge.
‘After nearly 15 months of hostilities, it is a tragedy for the people of South Sudan that the parties to the conflict are not willing to pursue peace. 
- Etter snart 15 måneder med krig, er det en tragedie for folket i Sør-Sudan at ikke partene viser vilje til fred.
The fact that a unified Security Council now supports sanctions shows how critical the situation is,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende. 
At et samlet FNs sikkerhetsråd nå går inn for sanksjoner, viser hvor kritisk situasjonen er, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The resolution was first proposed by the US, which together with Norway and the UK comprises the troika for South Sudan. 
Resolusjonen ble først foreslått av USA, som inngår i «troikaen» for Sør-Sudan sammen med Norge og Storbritannia.
Norway and a number of other countries co-sponsored the resolution. 
Norge og en rekke andre land var såkalt medforslagsstillere.
The sanctions include travel bans on individuals and asset freezes on individuals and entities designated by the sanctions committee that will be established by the Security Council. 
Sanksjonene inkluderer reiserestriksjoner mot individer og frys av finansielle og andre midler til individer og enheter som listeføres av sanksjonskomitéen som Sikkerhetsrådet nå etablerer.
South Sudan fought for independence for 30 years. 
Sør-Sudan har kjempet for uavhengighet gjennom 30 år med krig.
However, once independence was attained, the leaders of the new state soon steered it into another conflict, resulting in a humanitarian crisis that is now affecting more than 6 million civilians,’ Mr Brende said. 
Så styrer lederne den ferske staten ut i en ny konflikt med over seks millioner sivile i humanitær krise som resultat, sier Brende.
Norway has been heavily involved in the situation in South Sudan for many years, and has actively supported the regional organisation IGAD, which is leading the peace negotiations. 
Norge har vært tungt engasjert i Sør-Sudan gjennom mange år og har hele tiden aktivt støttet den regionale samarbeidsorganisasjonen Igad i å lede fredsforhandlingene.
When Foreign Minister Brende met the parties to the conflict in Ethiopia in January, he warned them that sanctions were a possible consequence if they did not show a willingness to find a peaceful solution. 
Da utenriksministeren møtte partene i Etiopia i januar, varslet han at sanksjoner kunne bli en konsekvens dersom ikke partene viste vilje til å finne løsninger.
Since the conflict broke out in December 2013, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed, one and a half million people have been internally displaced, and a half a million people have fled to the neighbouring countries. 
Etter at konflikten brøt ut i desember 2013, er titusener av sivile blitt drept, halvannen million mennesker er på flukt internt og en halv million mennesker har flyktet til nabolandene.
Children are being used as child soldiers, and schools have been occupied by troops. 
Barn brukes som barnesoldater og skoler er okkupert av soldater.
Famine has been prevented only through a massive humanitarian response by the international community, to which Norway has contributed. 
En hungersnød forhindres bare av en enorm innsats fra det internasjonale samfunn med humanitær støtte blant annet fra Norge.
The economy is about to collapse, and the neighbouring countries are also suffering economically because of the conflict. 
Økonomien er i ferd med å falle sammen, og også nabolandene lider økonomisk på grunn av konflikten.
The Troika expresses profound disappointment at South Sudan’s leaders’ failure to achieve peace agreement 
Troikaen uttrykker dyp skuffelse over lederne i Sør-Sudan etter manglende fredsavtale
Norway is co-sponsor of the resolution unanimously adopted by the UN Security Council today to impose sanctions on individuals in South Sudan. 
Norge er medforslagsstiller til forslaget om å innføre sanksjoner mot enkeltpersoner i Sør-Sudan, som ble enstemmig vedtatt av FNs sikkerhetsråd i dag.
“I condemn the Syrian authorities’ arrests, violence, and killing of civilians. 
- Jeg fordømmer syriske myndigheters arrestasjoner, vold og drap på sivile.
Political leaders who turn their military forces on their own people lose their legitimacy. 
Politiske ledere som retter det militære maktapparatet mot egne innbyggere mister sin legitimitet.
In cases like this the international community should consider responding with sanctions,” commented Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Støre. 
I slike tilfeller bør det internasjonale samfunnet vurdere å svare med sanksjoner, sier utenriksminister Støre.
