Source text - French Développement territorial et association de la société civile
L’idée de redynamiser l’économie et de créer de nouveaux emplois via le développement territorial remonte à une vingtaine d’années. Toutefois, deux concepts ont fait plus récemment leur apparition, comme conditions d’un développement régional ou local réussi :
- la nécessité de lier développement local et lutte contre l’exclusion sociale ; en un mot, lier développement et cohésion sociale ;
- la nécessité de faire participer les populations concernées.
Cette participation est aujourd’hui admise comme un processus continu : de la définition de la stratégie à l’évaluation, en passant par la mise en œuvre des actions.
En ce sens, la participation de la société civile est nécessaire, non seulement pour des raisons démocratiques et éthiques, mais aussi pour des raisons d’efficacité et de durabilité des actions.
Les relations partenariales se bâtissent plus facilement à des échelles de proximité. En outre l’association de la société civile permet de mieux comprendre les besoins/problèmes et permet de mieux identifier des solutions innovantes.
Concernant la démarche de SPAN, la participation de la société civile à la définition des stratégies de développement territorial est un facteur d’innovation et une condition, à travers la mobilisation de tous les acteurs, de développement durable.
L’étude demandée par SPAN permettra de mieux cerner ces différents éléments et de valider la pertinence de créer la société, tel que prévu.
Notons à ce stade que si les deux concepts « programmation » et « association de la société civile » sont deux notions modernes et de pointe, ils sont loin d’être diffusés largement au plan européen.
Translation - English Territorial development and partnership with civil society
The whole idea of rekindling the economy and creating new jobs through territorial development was born about twenty years ago. However, two theories that are conditional to a successful local or regional development have recently emerged:
- The need to see local development in context with the fight against social exclusion: in other words, associate development and social cohesion;
- The need to involve affected citizens.
Today this involvement is considered a continuous process: From defining a strategy right through to the evaluation phase, by way of the implementation of actions.
In this respect, the involvement of civil society is necessary, not only for democratic and ethical reasons, but also with a view to improving the impact and durability of actions taken. Partnerships are easier to build at community level. Furthermore, by involving civil society, it becomes easier to understand problems and needs, and to better recognize innovative solutions.
With regard to the SPAN approach, the involvement of civil society in defining territorial development strategies, by rallying all the actors, is an innovative factor and a prerequisite for sustainable development.
The study commissioned by SPAN will make it possible to better pinpoint these innumerable elements and confirm the significance of setting up the company, as planned.
At this point, it is useful to bear in mind that although the two concepts – “programming” and “involving civil society” are two modern and cutting-edge notions, they are far from being pervasive at European level.

Source text - English III. Introduction
A. The BHI Stock Throughput program is intended to provide worldwide coverage against "all risks" of physical loss or damage due to external causes. As used herein, “BHI” means Baker Hughes Incorporated, its subsidiaries, their divisions, entities, and affiliates. The program covers the following categories of property:
1. Cargo shipments to and from any place in the world, where responsibility for insuring the cargo has been assumed by BHI. High value items must be shipped separately under appropriate packaging.
2. Inventory (stock & rental tools) and mobile equipment, wherever located in the world.
3. Household goods/personal effects shipments require a valued inventory (a listing showing the replacement cost value of each item). Failure to provide a valued inventory may result in denial of claim. High value items must be shipped separately under appropriate packaging.
Translation - Norwegian III. Innledning
A. BHIs program for varegjennomstrømming er ment å sørge for verdensomspennende dekning mot "alle risikoer" av fysisk tap eller skade som skyldes eksterne årsaker. I denne avtalen betyr "BHI" Baker Hughes Incorporated med datterselskaper, divisjoner, enheter og tilknyttede selskaper. Programmet dekker følgende kategorier av eiendeler:
1. Forsendelser til og fra alle steder i verden, hvor BHI har påtatt seg ansvaret for å forsikre lasten. Gjenstander av høy verdi må sendes separat i passende emballasje.
2. Inventar (varer og leide redskaper) og bevegelig utstyr, uansett hvor i verden det befinner seg.
3. Forsendelser av husholdningsutstyr / personlige gjenstander krever en taksert inventarliste (en liste som viser verdien av hver gjenstands utskiftingskostnad). Hvis du ikke fremlegger en taksert inventarliste, kan det føre til at kravet blir avslått. Gjenstander av høy verdi må sendes separat i passende emballasje.

Source text - Norwegian Utslipp til luft
Det stilles stadig strengere krav til utslipp til luft fra petroleumsvirksomheten. Krav om VOC gjenvinningsanlegg ved lasting/lossing av olje og bruk av lav NOx-teknologi på gassturbiner bidrar til å redusere de negative miljøkonsekvensene fra virksomheten. For Skarv Idun feltene vil det bli installert gjenvinningsanlegg for nm VOC på lagertankskipet og skytteltankere som benyttes for transport av olje. Det legges til grunn at dette vil gjenvinne 78% av avdampet nm VOC.
Utslipp av CO2, CH4 og nm VOC bidrar til drivhuseffekten, og gir effekter av global karakter. Utslippene av CO2 fra Skarv Idun feltene utgjør inntil 425 000 tonn pr. år tilsvarende i underkant av 1% av nasjonale utslipp i 2005.
Utslippene av NOx og SO2 vil generelt kunne bidra til firsuring av jordsmonn og ferskvann, og gi gjødslingseffekt på vegetasjonen. Med bakgrunn i de saerdeles små nitrogenavsetningsverdiene beskriver RKU Norskehavet at nitrogenbidraget fra petroleumsvirksomheten i Norskehavet isolert sett vil ha liten til ingen effekt på vegetasjonen langs kysten fra Sogn og Fjordane til Nordland. I det berørte området forventes det heller ikke målbare effekter på forsurningssituasjonen. Totale bidrag til luftutslipp fra Skarv Idun er i størrelsesorden 0,2% av nasjonale utslipp av NOx.
Translation - English Emissions to the air
There are increasingly stringent requirements for air emissions from the petroleum industry. Requirements for a VOC recovery plant for loading/unloading oil and the use of low NOx technology in gas turbines that contribute to reducing the negative impact on the environment. VOC nm recycling plants will be installed on the stock tanker and shuttle tankers used to transport oil from the Skarv and Idun fields. It is assumed that this will recover 78% of evaporated VOC nm.
CO2, CH4 and VOC nm emissions contribute to the greenhouse effect, and give rise to global warming. CO2 emissions from the Skarv Idun fields account for up to 425,000 metric tons per year, which is less than 1% of national emissions in 2005.
NOx and SO2 emissions will generally contribute to the acidification of soils and water, and provide fertilization for the vegetation. Given the minute nitrogen deposit values, the RKU Norskehavet (Regional Consequence Analysis for the Norwegian Sea) explains that the nitrogen contribution from petroleum-related activities in the Norwegian Sea will by themselves have little to no effect on the vegetation along the coast from Sogn og Fjordane County to Nordland County. No measurable impact on acidification is expected in the affected area. The total contribution to air emissions from Skarv Idun is approximately 0.2% of the national NOx emissions.

Source text - Norwegian 2.2 Konsolideringsprinsipper
Konsernregnskapet består av regnskapene til Eidesvik Offshore ASA og dets datterselskap pr 31. desember hvert år. Andeler i felleskontrollert virksomhet og tilknyttede selskaper regnskapsføres etter egenkapitalmetoden.
a) Datterselskaper
Datterselskaper er alle enheter der konsernet har bestemmende innflytelse på enhetens finansielle og operasjonelle strategi, normalt gjennom eie av mer enn halvparten av stemmeberettiget kapital. Ved fastsettelse av om det foreligger bestemmende innflytelse inkluderes effekten av potensielle stemmerettigheter som kan utøves eller konverteres på balansedagen. Datterselskaper blir konsolidert fra det tidspunkt kontroll er overført til konsernet og blir utelatt fra konsolideringen når kontroll opphører.
Overtakelsesmetoden benyttes for regnskapsføring ved kjøp av datterselskaper. Anskaffelseskost ved oppkjøp måles til virkelig verdi av eiendeler som ytes som vederlag ved kjøpet, egenkapitalinstrumenter som utstedes, pådratte forpliktelser ved overføring av kontroll Identifiserbare oppkjøpte eiendeler og overtatt gjeld er regnskapsført til virkelig verdi på oppkjøpstidspunktet, uavhengig av eventuelle minoritetsinteresser. Anskaffelseskost som overstiger virkelig verdi av identifiserbare netto eiendeler i datterselskapet balanseføres som goodwill. Hvis anskaffelseskost er lavere enn virkelig verdi av netto eiendeler i datterselskapet, resultatføres differansen på oppkjøpstidspunktet.
Selskaper hvor konsernet har kontroll er konsolidert 100 % linje for linje i konsernregnskapet. Konserninterne transaksjoner, mellomværende og urealisert fortjeneste mellom konsernselskaper er eliminert. Urealiserte tap elimineres, men vurderes som en indikator på verdifall i forhold til nedskrivning av den overførte eiendelen. Konsernregnskapet er utarbeidet med ensartede regnskapsprinsipper for like transaksjoner og andre hendelser under like forutsetninger. Klassifisering av poster i resultat og balanse er gjennomført etter ensartede definisjoner.
b) Felleskontrollert virksomhet
Som felles kontrollert virksomhet defineres selskaper hvor konsernet har felles kontroll sammen med en annen part. Felleskontrollert virksomhet foreligger ved 50/50 eierandel eller dersom det på annen måte er regulert at partene har felles kontroll. Investeringer i felleskontrollert virksomhet regnskapsføres etter egenkapitalmetoden.
Konsernets andel av over- eller underskudd i felleskontrollert virksomhet resultatføres og tillegges balanseført verdi av investeringene sammen med andel av ikke resultatførte egenkapitalendringer. Konsernet resultatfører ikke andel av underskudd hvis dette medfører at balanseført verdi av investeringen blir negativ (inklusive usikrede fordringer på enheten), med mindre konsernet har påtatt seg forpliktelser eller avgitt garantier for det felleskontrollerte selskapets forpliktelser.
c) Tilknyttede selskaper
Som tilknyttede selskaper defineres enheter hvor konsernet har betydelig innflytelse, men ikke kontroll. Betydelig innflytelse foreligger normalt når konsernet har mellom 20 og 50 % av stemmeberettiget kapital. Investeringer i tilknyttete selskaper regnskapsføres etter egenkapitalmetoden. Prinsippet for klassifisering av konsernets andel av resultat i tilknyttede selskap er endret. andelen ble tidligere klassifisert som driftspost, men fra 2010 klassifiseres det som en finanspost.
Sammenligningstallene er omarbeidet tilsvarende. Konsernets andel av over- eller underskudd i tilknyttede selskaper resultatføres og tillegges balanseført verdi av investeringene sammen med andel av ikke resultatførte egenkapitalendringer. Konsernet resultatfører ikke andel av underskudd hvis dette medfører at balanseført verdi av investeringen blir negativ (inklusive usikrede fordringer på enheten), med mindre konsernet har påtatt seg forpliktelser eller avgitt garantier for det tilknyttede selskapets forpliktelser.
Konsernets andel av urealisert fortjeneste på transaksjoner mellom konsernet og dets tilknyttede selskaper elimineres. Det samme gjelder for urealiserte tap med mindre transaksjonen tilsier en nedskrivning av den overførte eiendelen. Der det har vært nødvendig er regnskapsprinsipper i de tilknyttede selskaper endret for å oppnå samsvar med konsernets regnskapsprinsipper.
d) Minoritetsinteresser
Minoritetens andel av egenkapitalen er vist på egen linje i konsernets egenkapital. Minoritetsinteressen inkluderer minoritetens andel av balanseført verdi av datterselskaper inkludert andel av identifiserbare merverdier på tidspunkt for oppkjøpet av et datterselskap.
Translation - English 2.2 Consolidation
The consolidated accounts consist of the accounts of Eidesvik Offshore ASA and its subsidiaries as at 31 December each year. Shares in joint ventures and associated companies are accounted for according to the equity method of accounting.
a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities in which the Group has decisive influence over the subsidiaries’ financial and operational strategy, generally by owning more than half of the voting capital. The effect of potential voting rights that can be exercised or converted on the balance sheet date is taken into consideration in determining whether or not decisive influence exists. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the moment control is transferred to the Group, and are eliminated from consolidation when such control ceases.
The acquisition method is used in accounting for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The historical acquisition cost is established according to the fair value of assets contributed as consideration at the time of the acquisition, equity capital instruments that have been issued, liabilities assumed when transferring control. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the accounts at fair value at the time of acquisition, irrespective of any minority interests. Cost of acquisition that exceeds the real value of acquired, identifiable net assets in the subsidiary is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is inferior to the fair value of net assets in the subsidiary, the difference is posted in the profit and loss account at the time of the acquisition.
Identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities are listed at fair value on the date of acquisition, irrespective of any minority interests. The cost of acquisition that exceeds the actual value of identifiable net assets in the subsidiary is recorded as goodwill. If the price is lower than the actual value of net assets in the subsidiary, the difference is recorded at the time of the acquisition.
Companies where the Group has control are consolidated 100% line for line in the consolidated financial statement. Intercompany transaction, balances and unrealized gains between companies in the Group are eliminated. Unrealized losses are likewise eliminated, but considered an indicator of loss of value in relation to depreciation of the asset that is transferred. The consolidated financial statement is prepared using uniform accounting principles for similar transactions and other events occurring in similar circumstances. The classification of items in the income statement and balance sheet is carried out according to uniform definitions.
b) Joint Ventures
Joint ventures are described as companies where the Group has joint control with another party. Joint ventures exist if the ownership is split equally in two ways (50/50) or if it is otherwise regulated that the parties have joint control. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for by using the equity method. The Group’s share of the profits or losses in a joint venture is recognized and added to the carrying value of the investments along with a share of unrecognized equity changes. The Group does not record the proportion of loss if this means that the investment’s carrying value becomes negative (including any unsecured receivables), unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the obligations of the joint venture.
c) Associated companies
Associated companies are defined as entities in which the Group has a significant influence, but not control. Significant influence is usually present when the Group has between 20 and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in affiliated companies are recorded in the accounts using the equity method. The principle for classification of the Group’s share of the profit in associated companies has changed. The proportion was previously classified as an operating record, but as of 2010 it is classified as a financial item.
The comparable figures have been adjusted accordingly. The Group’s share of the profits and losses in associated companies is recorded and added to the carrying value of the investments along with a share of unrecognized equity changes. The Group does not record its share of the loss if this entails that the investment’s carrying value becomes negative (including any unsecured receivables), unless the Group has taken on liabilities or made payments on behalf of the affiliated company.
The Group’s share of unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its affiliated companies is eliminated. The same applies to unrealised losses unless the transaction indicates a depreciation of the transferred asset. Accounting principles in the affiliated companies have been altered where necessary to achieve consistency with the Group’s accounting principles.
d) Minority Interests
The minority share of the equity is shown on a separate line under Group equity. The minority interest includes subsidiaries’ minority shares of the carrying value, including a share of the identifiable added values at the time of the acquisition of a subsidiary.
