The objective is to award new production licences in these areas at the beginning of 2016. 
Det tas sikte på tildeling av nye utvinningstillatelser i de utlyste områdene i begynnelsen av 2016.
I am therefore very pleased to be able to announce this year’s APA-round where a significant number of blocks have been added. 
Det er derfor svært gledelig å kunne utlyse årets TFO-runde hvor et betydelig antall nye blokker er lagt til.
In APA 2015 there is an expansion of the predefined area by 35 blocks in the Norwegian Sea, including blocks close to the Aasta Hansteen field and the Pil and Bue discoveries at Haltenbanken. 
I TFO 2015 er det foretatt en utvidelse av det forhåndsdefinerte området med 35 blokker i Norskehavet, herunder blokker nær Aasta Hansteen-feltet og Pil-funnet på Haltenbanken.
In the Barents Sea, the area has been expanded with 11 blocks close to the Alta and Gohta-discoveries. 
I Barentshavet er arealet utvidet med 11 blokker nær funnene Alta og Gohta.
The announcement has been subject to a public consultation process. 
Utlysningen har vært gjenstand for offentlig høring.
This is good resource management, and will be important for the activity-level and the value-creation, especially in the northern region” - Minister Lien continues. 
Dette er god ressursforvaltning og viktig for aktivitet og verdiskaping, spesielt i vår nordligste landsdel fortsetter Olje- og energiminister Tord Lien (FrP).
The complete announcement text, an updated map of the announced blocks, (HSE), environmental and fisheries conditions and further information are available on the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate website. 
Fullstendig utlysningstekst, oppdatert kart over utlyste blokker, HMS-, miljø- og fiskeriforhold og ytterligere informasjon er tilgjengelig på Oljedirektoratets nettsider.

The scheme was introduced in 2003 to facilitate exploration of geologically well known parts of the shelf using current methods. 
Ordningen ble introdusert i 2003 for å legge til rette for tidsriktig utforskning av de geologiske mest kjente delene av sokkelen.
The APA area includes the geologically best known parts of the Norwegian continental shelf. 
TFO-området omfatter de geologisk mest kjente områdene på norsk sokkel.
The expected size of discoveries in these areas is decreasing. 
I disse områdene går den forventede funnstørrelsen ned.
Exploration largely focuses on smaller discoveries that may not justify an independent development but could be profitable if developed in conjunction with other discoveries and/or by utilising existing or planned infrastructure. 
Det letes i stor grad etter mindre funn som ikke kan rettferdiggjøre en selvstendig utbygging, men kan ha lønnsomhet når de sees i sammenheng med andre funn og/eller kan utnytte eksisterende eller planlagte infrastruktur.
Timely exploration of these areas is therefore important. 
Det er derfor viktig med tidsriktig utforskning av disse områdene.
Effective exploration requires predictability regarding areas that may be applied for under the APA system and in general - a steady stream of new acreage. 
Forutsigbarhet om hvilke områder som det er mulig å søke på i TFO og jevnt tilsig av nytt areal er viktig for å oppnå en effektiv utforskning.
An evaluation of whether the area covered by the system (the APA area) should be expanded is undertaken every year. 
Det foretas årlig en vurdering om området omfattet av ordningen (TFO-området) skal utvides.
Tecnical petroleum assessments determine whether new areas should be added to the APA area. 
Det er petroleumsfaglige vurderinger som avgjør om nye områder skal legges til TFO-området.
The area is expanded as new areas are explored. 
Området utvides etter hvert som nye områder utforskes.

The purpose of the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) is to facilitate government savings to finance rising public pension expenditures, and support long-term considerations in the spending of government petroleum revenues. 
Formålet med Statens pensjonsfond utland (SPU) er å støtte statlig sparing for finansiering av folketrygdens pensjonsutgifter og sikre langsiktige hensyn ved anvendelse av statens petroleumsinntekter.
The investment objective is to maximise the purchasing power of the fund capital, given a moderate level of risk. 
Siktemålet med investeringene er å oppnå en høyest mulig internasjonal kjøpekraft av kapitalen i fondet innenfor et moderat nivå på risiko.
In this way, we aim to ensure that both present and future generations can benefit from our common national savings. 
På denne måten søker vi å sikre at både dagens og framtidige generasjoner får mest mulig nytte av våre felles sparepenger.
The objective of good financial return is closely linked to the ambition to be a responsible investor. 
Målet om god finansiell avkastning er nært knyttet til vår ambisjon om å være en ansvarlig investor.
The Fund’s role as a responsible investor is expressed, for example, in the Guidelines for Observation and Exclusion of companies which do not comply with minimum ethical standards. 
Fondets rolle som ansvarlig investor er klargjort gjennom blant annet egne retningslinjer for observasjon og utelukkelse.
The Council on Ethics for the GPFG advises the Ministry on the observation and exclusion of companies based on these guidelines. 
Etikkrådet gir råd til Finansdepartementet om observasjon og utelukkelse i tråd med disse retningslinjene.
