Arkivkode Ann-Heidi Johansen 77 64 22 33 11.12.2018 2018/809 432.2 Deres dato Deres ref. «REFDATO» «REF» «MOTTAKERNAVN» «ADRESSE» «POSTNR» «POSTSTED» Forvaltningsplan for Bergsøyan landskapsvernområde er godkjent Fylkesmannen i Troms egengodkjenner med dette forvaltningsplan for Bergsøyan landskapsvernområde i Berg kommune. Forslaget til forvaltningsplan var på høring i perioden 29. juni – 3. september 2018, men med utsatt høringsfrist, bl.a for Berg kommune til 17. september. Det kom inn ti høringsuttalelser til forslaget. Vedlagt er et sammendrag av høringsuttalelsene med våre kommentarer. Der har vi gjort rede for hva som er tatt inn i den endelige planen, og justeringer og presiseringer ut fra innspill. I tillegg har vi tatt inn oppdaterte data, og vist til ny kunnskap der det har kommet. Forvaltningsplanen er nå gjeldende, og er tilgjengelig på vår nettside www.fylkesmannen.no/Troms under Miljø og klima. Planen vil også bli tilgjengelig på www.naturbase.no i faktaarket for Bergsøyan landskapsvernområde. Grunneierne får planen tilsendt i papirversjon. Dersom flere ønsker å få den i papirversjon, ta kontakt med oss. Vi gjør oppmerksom på at forvaltningsplanen er retningsgivende, ikke juridisk bindende. Vedtaket av planen er ikke et enkeltvedtak, og kan derfor ikke påklages. Etter at planen nå er vedtatt, skal den følges opp. I tiltaksplanen er det gjort en prioritering av tiltak, og ført opp hvem som er ansvarlig for gjennomføring. Vi kommer til å invitere referansegruppa til et møte om oppfølging av forvaltningsplanen i begynnelsen av neste år, etter at vi har fått avklart budsjettet for 2019. Med hilsen Evy Jørgensen ef miljøverndirektør Heidi Marie Gabler fagansvarlig Dokumentet er elektronisk godkjent og har ikke håndskrevne signaturer.

  • Foreign Ownership in Norwegian Enterprises
    FOREIGN OWNERSHIP IN NORWEGIAN ENTERPRISES SAMFUNNSØKONOMISKE STUDIER NR. 14 FOREIGN OWNERSHIP IN NORWEGIAN ENTERPRISES UTENLANDSKE EIERINTERESSER I NORSKE BEDRIFTER By/Av Arthur Stonehill STATISTISK SENTRALBYRÅ CENTRAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS OF NORWAY OSLO 1965 Forord Den avhandlingen som her legges fram som nr. 14 i serien Samfunns- økonomiske studier, er utarbeidd av amerikaneren Arthur Stonehill. Materialet til avhandlingen samlet han under opphold i Norge i tida 1962 til 1964. Det omfatter resultatene av intervjuer og enquéte-undersøkelser som dr. Stonehill selv foretok, opplysninger fra Industri- og håndverksdeparte- mentet og Norges Bank og diverse statistiske oppgaver som er utarbeidd av Statistisk Sentralbyrå. Manuskriptet ble i hovedsak utarbeidd mens dr. Stonehill var tilsatt i Statistisk Sentralbyrå, men fikk sin endelige form etter at han var vendt tilbake til U.S.A. På grunnlag av denne avhandlingen er Arthur Stonehill tildelt graden doctor of philosophy ved University of Cali- fornia, Berkeley. Det materiale som er samlet og analysert i denne avhandlingen, kaster nytt lys over de utenlandske investeringer i norsk næringsliv. Avhandlingens første del gir en inngående historisk analyse av norsk kapitalimport og direkte utenlandske investeringer i norske bedrifter og foretak fra 1814 til 1964. Forfatteren analyserer sammenhengen mellom utenlandsk finansiering, betalingsbalansen og den totale investeringsvirk- somhet innenfor den industrialiseringsprosess Norge gjennomgikk. Analysen omfatter også en undersøkelse av virkningene av skiftende konjunkturer og norsk lovgivning. De større utenlandsk-finansierte foretakenes oppkomst og betydning følges fra næring til næring gjennom de hovedfaser utviklingen har gjennomløpt i dette tidsrommet. I annen del av avhandlingen reiser forfatteren spørsmålet om de uten- landske investeringene har vært til fordel eller ulempe for norsk økonomi.

You may have caught Sandi Toksvig talking about her honeymoon on BBC Radio 4 and arriving on the Lofoten Islands "It is as if you are breathing fresh air for the first time.. it is so pristine and the sea so clear - I don't think I have ever been so happy". Milena Grenfell-Baines and I had a similar experience in 2016 when Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (who was Artistic Director that year) encouraged us to travel 1,000km north from Oslo into the Arctic Circle and experience the Lofoten Music Festival. Despite the challenges of the past year, we really hope that this coming July we can share the magnificent place with you as we enjoy chamber music of the highest quality with 10 concerts over six nights during our time in Svolvær. The Lofotens are home to no less than 10 Steinway Grand Pianos and the concerts take place in veunes as diverse as ancient wooden churches to a former caviar factory! We have set out to create a unique itinerary that combines some wonderful music with the breath-taking beauty of this archipelago situated within the Arctic Circle between the 68th & 69th parallels - as far North as the Canadian Yukon, Greenland and Siberia! No matter what you read in advance about the Lofoten Islands the first-hand experience surpasses your expectations.
