For the second consecutive year it can be confirmed that the assets of the Samlag Insurance Fund are decreasing. However, this does not come as a surprise.
BLARK_translated
Annað árið á rað kann staðfestast at ognin hjá Samlagstryggingargrunninum minkar. Hetta kemur tó ikki óvart á.
Revenues decreased somewhat last year. Primarily due to lower interest income, but also caused by a small decline in premium payments. The occupational pension insurance itself cost less than the previous year.
BLARK_translated
Inntøkurnar minkaðu nakað farna ár. Fyrst og fremst av lægri rentuinntøkum, men eisini orsakað av einum lítlum falli í inngjaldinum. Sjálv samlagstryggingin kostaði minni enn árið frammanundan,
but a lower bonus accrual means that the total payment nevertheless only decreases by 800,000 kroner.
BLARK_translated
men ein lægri bonustilskriving hevur við sær, at samlaða gjaldið tó „bert“ minkar við 800.000 krónum.
This means that the fund for the second year in a row has a deficit amounting to just under 4 million kroner.
BLARK_translated
Hetta hevur við sær, at grunnurin annað ár á rað hevur eitt hall, ið liggur oman fyri 4 milliónir krónur.
The operating deficit will be covered by equity, which means that it will decrease. However, the fund is in good condition and equity is above 39 million kroner.
BLARK_translated
Rakstrarhallið verður tikið av eginognini og hevur hetta við sær, at hon minkar. Grunnurin er tó væl fyri og eginognin er oman fyri 39 milliónir krónur.
The primary function of the foundation, of course, is to purchase insurance that provides benefits in the event of death or certain serious illnesses. Although we can say that the claim experience has been good because the payouts are not large, there is still not a single year without a claim that affects people's liv...
BLARK_translated
Fremsta virki hjá grunninum er jú at keypa tryggingar, ið geva veitingar við deyða ella við ávísar hættisligar sjúkur. Hóast vit kunnu siga, at skaðagongdin hevur verið góð tí at útgjøldini ikki eru so stór, so er tó einki ár uttan skaða, ið allir hava ávirkan á mannalagnur.
Not even in 2012 did we escape human loss. The fund made three payments in connection with deaths and seven members received payments in connection with serious illnesses.
BLARK_translated
Heldur ikki í 2012 eru vit sloppin undan menniskjaligum missi. Grunnurin hevur havt trý útgjøld í sambandi við deyða og sjey limir hava fingið útgjald í sambandi við hættisligar sjúkur.

When you open the cabinet, it will start to hum, but you should not be afraid of that. Then you take the box out of the cabinet, remove the starter, and open the lid on the box. Then the starter begins to speak, and it is crucial to listen and do exactly what the starter says.
BLARK_translated
Tá ein opnar skápið, so fer at ýla, men tað skal man ikki ræðast. So tekur man boksina út úr skápinum, tekur startarin úr, og opnar lokið á boksini. So byrjar startarin at tosa, og tað er umráðandi at lurta og gera akkurát, sum startarin sigur.
There is a shaft attached to the box that is placed on the chest. This is to press down during chest compressions. Pressing is done in time with the sound from the starter.
BLARK_translated
Tað hongur eitt skaft saman við boksini, ið er at leggja á bringuna. Hetta er at trýsta á í sambandi við hjartamassagu. Trýst verður í takt við ljóðið frá startaranum.
If you should need to use the starter, and have not tried one before, do not be afraid, you will receive good guidance.
BLARK_translated
Um tit skuldu fingið brúk fyri startaranum, og ikki hava roynt slíkan áður, verið ikki bangin, tit fáa góða vegleiðing.

Hetta er sama lønarhækking sum hini fakfeløgini á privata arbeiðsmarknaðinum hava fingið.
Furthermore, changes have been made to shift allowances, so that going forward the shift allowances will be a percentage of a salary grade. This means that shift allowances will increase as the salary increases.

In May 2012 several of the Faroese trade unions presented the Ministry of Trade with an offer to buy 50% of Føroya Lívstrygging. This spring the trade unions appointed a group of five representatives on behalf of the unions to continue working on the matter.

Cleverly he managed to say that some institutions had not adhered to the appropriations and in this way twist the matter and shift responsibility for the policies pursued onto the institutions' management and staff. This is to miss the point by a wide margin and is unbecoming.

At veita eina ábyrgdarfulla og nøktandi tænastu kostar – og at tænastan gerst dýrari tá útreiðslurnar hækka er sjálvsagt, tað er ikki rocketscience.
To run society on the same kroner for several years, and even cut more to reach the zero vision in 2016 – Do the Faroese want the welfare society to be degraded in this way? I am convinced that the answer is decisive!

At reka samfelagið fyri somu krónur í fleiri ár, og enntá skerja enn meira fyri at røkka visjón null í 2016 – Ynskja føroyingar at væl- ferðarsamfelagið verður niðurlaðað á henda hátt? Eri fullvís í at svarið er noktandi!

There are several interesting articles in the newspaper. The article on pages 25 and 26 is exactly about what influence fiscal policy has and why it is absolutely necessary to abandon the “zero vision.”

Í blaðnum eru fleiri áhugaverdar greinar. Greinin á blaðsíðu 25 og 26 er júst um hvørja ávirkan førdi fíggjarpolitikkurin hevur og hví tað er alneyðugt at sleppa "visjón null".

We decided in 2009 to make such a tour and that this should be a recurring event every other or every third year.

In our neighboring countries we have seen major changes in the labor market, where union members have been pushed out of their unions either to become members of a cheaper “yellow” union, or to leave union affiliation entirely.

This is the situation in Denmark and elsewhere, but it is not yet quite as bad here. The civil servants’ union has a decline in membership, and we want to stop this. One problem is a growing culture of private ownership, where most attention is paid to individual needs and one’s wallet. This is perhaps something that c...
