This is a long-awaited resolution that can help pave the way for a lasting ceasefire and a political solution to this five-year long conflict,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende. 
Dette er et etterlengtet vedtak som kan bidra til å bane veien for en varig våpenhvile og en politisk løsning på denne fem år lange konflikten, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
‘The broad support for this resolution among the parties to the conflict is encouraging.

- Det er også svært positivt at FN nå får tilgang til alle avstengte områder i Syria med humanitære leveranser.
It is important that the Syrian population sees immediate and concrete results of the efforts at international level,’ Mr Brende said. 
Det er viktig at befolkningen i Syria ser øyeblikkelige konkrete resultater av det arbeidet som har pågått internasjonalt, sier utenriksministeren.
In his briefing to the Security Council, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura announced his intention to reconvene formal negotiations on 7 March. 
I sin orientering til FNs sikkerhetsråd opplyste FNs spesialutsending for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, at partene vil bli innkalt til nye forhandlinger fra 7. mars.

VAT on electronic services (voesnorway) – simplified VAT scheme for non-established vendors 
Enkel momsregistrering for utenlandske tilbydere av elektroniske tjenester
”These are important updates to our VAT system. 
– Dette er viktige oppdateringer.
At the same time we are making it easier for non-established vendors to comply,” says Minister of Finance Sigbjørn Johnsen. 
Samtidig vil vi gjøre det enkelt for utenlandske tilbydere å etterleve reglene, sier finansminister Sigbjørn Johnsen.
The proposal will mainly affect vendors supplying electronic services from abroad. 
Forslaget berører hovedsakelig tilbydere som leverer elektroniske tjenester fra utlandet.
The main features of the simplified scheme are: 
Regjeringen foreslår blant annet følgende endringer:
Vendors supplying electronic services will be liable to register in the Norwegian VAT Register, bur may opt to use a simplified VAT scheme, as an alternative to register in the VAT Register. 
Dette vil i utgangspunktet også gjelde norske formidlere, men her vil både selger og formidler kunne ha plikt til å beregne merverdiavgift.
Vendors only have to communicate electronically with one tax office in Norway, they will meet electronic and simplified registration and reporting procedures and simplified documentation requirements. 
Tilbydere i forenklet registreringsordning kan kommunisere elektronisk med ett skattekontor, de vil møte forenklede registreringsprosedyrer, forenklet rapportering og forenklede dokumentasjonskrav.

Norway is maintaining close contact with other European countries, particularly with like-minded Nordic countries. 
Norge er i løpende kontakt med andre europeiske land og særlig med nærstående nordiske land.
Norway is now studying the declaration issued by the authorities in Kosovo. 
Norge studerer nå den erklæringen som er kommet fra myndighetene i Kosovo.
“Norway has noted the importance attached to the Ahtisaari plan in the Kosovo declaration. 
- Fra norsk side har vi merket oss den betydning erklæringen fra Kosovo tillegger Ahtisaari-planen.
This plan includes important provisions concerning the status of minorities and the safeguarding of their interests, including their religious and cultural heritage. 
Denne planen inneholder viktige bestemmelser vedrørende minoritetenes stilling og beskyttelse av deres interesser, inkludert deres religiøse og kulturelle arv.
These are key components in creating a democratic, multi-ethnic Kosovo where human rights are respected,” says Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
Dette er sentrale elementer for å skape et demokratisk og multietnisk Kosovo hvor menneskerettighetene respekteres, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
“I reiterate that we have always stressed the importance of finding a mutually agreed solution that has the firm support of the Security Council. 
- Jeg gjentar at vi alltid har lagt vekt på betydningen av en omforent løsning med ankerfeste i Sikkerhetsrådet.
At the same time it is important to underscore that the status quo is no longer an option. 
Samtidig er det riktig å understreke at status quo ikke lenger er en opsjon.
This is important in order to meet the challenges to stability in Kosovo and in the region. 
Det er viktig for å møte utfordringer mot stabiliteten i Kosovo og i regionen.
Norway will continue its engagement in KFOR and the UN mission in Kosovo. 
Norge vil fortsette sitt engasjement innenfor KFOR og FN i Kosovo.
At the same time we urge all member states to help to ensure the OSCE’s continued presence in Kosovo. 
Samtidig ber vi alle medlemsland bidra til at OSSEs nærvær kan videreføres.
This is important with a view to safeguarding the interests of minorities. 
Det spiller en viktig rolle med hensyn til å trygge minoritetenes interesser.
Norway will also consider the possibility of contributing to the EU’s forthcoming mission to Kosovo. 
Norge vil likeledes vurdere et bidrag til EUs forestående nærvær i Kosovo.
Norway has provided NOK 22 million in funding to the museum through the EEA and Norway Grants . 
Museet er støttet med 22 millioner kroner fra norske EØS-midler.
Through the EEA and Norway Grants , Norway has also supported other projects aimed at promoting Jewish heritage, religious tolerance, and the fight against anti-Semitism, as well as the restoration of several synagogues in Poland. 
Gjennom EØS-midlene har Norge tidligere støttet prosjekter for å fremme jødisk kulturarv, religiøs toleranse og bekjempelse av antisemittisme samt oppussing av flere synagoger i Polen.

In March 2013 Ministry of Finance sent on public consultation proposals to change the legislation concerning such representatives. 
I mars 2013 sendte Finansdepartementet forslag på høring om å endre regelverket for slike representanter.
In the public consultation the Ministry proposed that the representatives shall not longer be responsible for the payment of VAT. 
Departementet foreslo at representanter ikke lenger skal ha medansvar for innbetaling av merverdiavgift til staten.
The proposal necessitates amendments in the VAT act. 
Dette krever endringer i merverdiavgiftsloven.
Furthermore, the Ministry proposed to abolish the requirement to send invoices through the representative. 
Videre foreslo departementet å oppheve kravet om at salgsdokument (faktura) skal sendes gjennom representanten.
The proposal necessitates amendments in the regulation concerning VAT and the regulation concerning bookkeeping. 
Dette krever endringer i merverdiavgiftsforskriften og bokføringsforskriften.
These proposals are now adopted and come into force 1th of July 2013. 
Forslagene er nå vedtatt og trer i kraft 1. juli 2013.
The Ministry is assessing the VAT representative scheme as a whole. 
Departementet har igangsatt en større gjennomgang av hele representantordningen.
