Private ownership should be the principle and state ownership must be justified specifically, says Ms. Monica Mæland, the Minister of Trade and Industry. 
Statlig eierskap skal begrunnes særskilt, sier næringsminister Monica Mæland (H).
Today the Government presented the new white paper on direct ownership in state-owned enterprises to the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament). 
Regjeringen har i dag lagt frem eierskapsmeldingen «Et mangfoldig og verdiskapende eierskap» for Stortinget.
The state has a comprehensive ownership comprising amongst other of one third of the values listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. 
Staten har et omfattende eierskap og eier blant annet en tredjedel av verdien på Oslo Børs.
- This will increase the state’s flexibility to reduce the state ownership and its ability to support mergers or acquisitions or other strategic changes which will have a positive effect on the companies’ development, says Ms. Mæland. 
- Dette vil øke statens fleksibilitet til å kunne redusere statens eierandel eller støtte eventuelle oppkjøp, fusjoner eller andre strategiske tiltak som kan bidra positivt til utviklingen i selskapene, sier Mæland.
Cermaq and Flytoget are amongst these companies (please see below for a complete list). 
Cermaq og Flytoget er blant disse selskapene (se fullstendig liste under).
Further, the Government will ask for consent to potentially reduce the state’s ownership of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA and Telenor ASA down to 34 percent. 
Regjeringen vil også fremme forslag om fullmakter til å kunne redusere statens eierskap ned mot 34 prosent i Kongsberg Gruppen ASA og Telenor ASA.
- The state inhabits many roles and represents a great deal of power. 
- Staten har mange roller og er en stor maktfaktor.
Over time we intend to reduce the state’s direct ownership. 
Vi vil over tid redusere statens direkte eierskap.
I want, however, to emphasise that that we are in no rush to make these changes, and the flexibility we ask for represents no obligation to sell. 
Jeg understreker at vi ikke har hastverk med endringer, og fullmakter innebærer ingen forpliktelse til å selge.
This could be to maintain main headquarter functions in Norway, the management of common natural resources, or in consideration of sectoral policy objectives. 
Det kan være for å sikre at hovedkontoret forblir i Norge, forvaltning av felles naturressurser eller sektorpolitiske hensyn.
For the foreseeable future Norway will have considerable state ownership, says the Minister. 
Norge vil derfor i overskuelig fremtid ha et betydelig statlig eierskap, sier næringsministeren.
The white paper deals with the Government’s ownership policies and how the state ownership is to be conducted. 
Eierskapsmeldingen går igjennom regjeringens eierpolitikk og hvordan det statlige eierskapet skal utøves.
State ownership shall be conducted in a professional and responsible manner. 
Det statlige eierskapet skal utøves på en profesjonell og ansvarlig måte.
The main concern for the companies run on commercial basis is return on invested capital. 
Hovedhensynet i de forretningsmessige selskapene er avkastning på investert kapital.
There are various factors which contribute to this objective, among others well functioning, competent boards, clear expectations with regards to return on equity, dividends and corporate social responsibility. 
Det er ulike forhold som bidrar til dette, blant annet gode styrer, klare forventninger om avkastning og utbytte og selskapenes ivaretakelse av sitt samfunnsansvar.
The white paper concerns the direct state ownership managed by the Ministries and comprises 55 companies where the state holds shares. 
Eierskapsmeldingen omhandler statens direkte eierskap forvaltet av departementene og omfatter 55 selskaper der staten eier aksjer.
Another topic in the white paper is the remuneration of company executives. 
Et annet tema i meldingen er lederlønn.
The Government announces that it will propose revised guidelines for executive remuneration this fall. 
Regjeringen varsler at den vil gjennomgå og komme med nye retningslinjer for lederlønn til høsten.
- Remuneration of company executives is a complicated topic and we need time to consider. 
- Dette er et komplisert felt, og vi trenger tid til utredning.
We will have to do some additional work here, says Ms. Mæland. 
Derfor er vi nødt til å gjøre mer arbeid her, sier Mæland.
