During the war there was major economic development in the Faroe Islands, and in 1945 the Faroes had a sterling reserve that was more than 50 million kroner. The Løgting's budget law the same year balanced at 3.6 million kroner. Compared, this gives a picture of how large the Faroese currency surplus in Britain was. In...

Undir krígnum fór stór búskaparlig menning fram í Føroyum, og í 1945 høvdu Føroyar eina sterling-áogn, sum var meira enn 50 mill. kr. stór. Løgtingsfíggjarlógin sama ár javnvigaði við 3,6 mill. kr. Samanborið gevur hetta eina mynd av, hvussu stórt føroyska valutayvirskotið í Bretlandi var. Í 1941 vórðu Føroyar búskapar...
But politically the war years became a time of much and bitter conflict. The People’s Party, which in the parliamentary election on 24 August 1943 won 12 members of parliament (the Union Party 8 and the Social Democratic Party 5), attacked Hilbert, the county governor, and the “cooperation policy” of the Social Democra...

Men politiskt gjørdust krígsárini ein tíð við nógvum og hørðum stríði. Fólkaflokkurin, sum við løgtingsvalið 24. august 1943 fekk 12 tingmenn (Sambandsflokkurin 8 og Javnaðarflokkurin 5), leyp harðliga á Hilbert, amtmann, og "samstarvspolitikkin" hjá javnaðar- og sambandsmonnum. Sjálvstýrisflokkurin fekk ikki umboðan á...
Both the Danes and the Faroese were clear that it would become necessary to negotiate the Faroe Islands’ position within the realm going forward. After the war a constitutional arrangement had to be put in place to replace the existing provisional system of government. The Danish government also said it held the view t...

Bæði danir og føroyingar vóru greiðir yvir, at tað fór at verða neyðugt við samráðingum um støðu Føroya í ríkinum framyvir.

Í januar 1946 byrjaðu samráðingar í Keypmannahavn millum eina løgtingssendinevnd og donsku stjórnina.
The People’s Party wanted a political arrangement between the Faroe Islands and Denmark that stipulated that the Faroe Islands should lie outside the area covered by the Danish constitution, that the Faroese Løgting should have full legislative authority in all Faroese matters, and that the Danish state authorities and...

But first a brief discussion of the viewpoints of the Social Democratic Party. These can be found in the so-called Freedom and Friendship Pact from 10 March 1946. Some passages are reproduced here:
BLARK_translated
Men fyrst ein stutt umrøða av sjónarmiðum Javnaðarfloksins. Hesi eru at finna í sonevnda Frælsis- og vinarsáttmálanum frá 10. marts 1946. Nøkur brot verða endurgivin her:
1. Acknowledging that the Faroese people are a distinct nation, the Faroese and the Danes agree, represented respectively by the Faroese Løgting, by the Danish government, by the state secretary, and by the King, this agreement.
BLARK_translated
1. Ásannandi at føroyska fólkið er serstøk tjóð semjast føroyingar og danir, umboðaðir ávikavist av Føroya Løgtingi, av donsku ríkisstjórnini, ríkisdegi og av kongi henda sáttmála.
2. Name of the Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands are in a state union with Denmark. The word "Føroyar" is added to the king's title.
BLARK_translated
2. Heiti Føroya Føroyar eru í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark. Orðið "Føroyar" verður lagt afturat heiti kongs.

5. A shared culture and Faroese and Danish languages with equal rights in the Faroe Islands. Because Faroese is the mother tongue, it is the principal language in the Faroe Islands. The Danish language shall be afforded equal honors, and both languages shall be taught on an equal footing in all public and private schoo...

5. Felags mentan og føroyskt og danskt mál javnbjóðis rættindi í Føroyum. Av tí at føroyskt er móðurmálið, er tað høvuðsmálið í Føroyum. Danskt mál fær javnbjóðis sømdir, og bæði málini skulu lærast javnsett í øllum almennum og privatum skúlum og skeiðum
6. The Løgting (Faroese Parliament) shall have legislative authority in specific Faroese matters. The Løgting shall have legislative authority in those areas where it has assumed full financial, administrative and cultural responsibility, and likewise in those areas where Danes and Faroese have agreed to share the paym...
BLARK_translated
6. Løgtingið fær lóggávuvald í serstøkum føroyskum málum. Løgtingið fær lóggávuvald á teimum málsøkjum, har tað hevur tikið við fullari fíggjarligari, fyrisitingarligari og mentanarligari ábyrgd, og somuleiðis á teimum økjum, har danir og føroyingar eru vorðnir samdir um at rinda útreiðslurnar í felag
7. No law shall be enacted in the Faroe Islands that has not previously been considered and approved by the Løgting.
BLARK_translated
7. Eingin lóg verður sett í gildi í Føroyum, sum ikki frammanundan hevur verið viðgjørd og samtykt av løgtinginum.
10. The issue of legislation. Where the Faroese Parliament (Løgting) has legislative power together with the King, the legislation is Faroese and Danish.
BLARK_translated
10. Lóggávumalið. Har Føroya Løgting hevur lóggávu saman við kongi, er lóggávumálið føroyskt og danskt.
11. Areas of law where the Løgting together with the king can immediately assume legislative power without the Rigsdag or a minister being involved (a number of areas are listed where the Løgting and the king alone can legislate, where no financial demands are placed on the Danish state).
BLARK_translated
11. Málsøki, har løgtingið saman við kongi straks kunnu taka við lóggávuvaldinum uttan at ríkisdagur ella ráðharri eru við (so verða nevnd mong málsøki, har løgtingið og kongur einsamøll kunnu lóggeva, har fíggjarkrøv ikki verða sett danska ríkinum).
13. How the government is organized. The chairman — the president — is elected by the government members; alternatively, members of the government may divide the work among themselves or do it jointly. Proposals concerning this are submitted to the parliament. The arrangements that are adopted are announced by the parl...

Uppskot hesum viðvíkjandi verður lagt fyri løgtingið. Tær fyriskipanir, ið verða samtyktar, verða kunngjørdar av løgtinginum.
15. The legal system. The Faroe Islands share a common law and legal system with Denmark, so that police and lower court cases continue to be handled in the Faroe Islands, while cases that are appealed to higher courts are handled by courts in Denmark.
BLARK_translated
15. Rættarskipanin. Føroyar hava felags lóg og rættarskipan við Danmark, soleiðis at løgreglu- og undirrættarmál sum higartil verða viðgjørd í Føroyum, meðan mál, ið verða skotin inn fyri hægri rætt, verða viðgjørd av dómstólum í Danmark.

16. Flaggskipanin. Før, sum føroyingar, feløg og samtøkur eiga í Føroyum, og sum eru skrásett í Føroyum, skulu flagga við føroyska flagginum
The Social Democrats’ constitutional proposal was not as extensive as the proposal of the People's Party. The Social Democrats emphasized that the Faroese were a distinct nation that should be in a union of state with the Danes. Their proposal is often referred to positively as a Liberty and Friendship Treaty, under wh...

During the negotiations in Copenhagen, March 1946, Dam also said he was disappointed that no common Faroese solution had been reached (AS, 57), and that was of course a weakness
BLARK_translated
Undir samráðingunum í Keypmannahavn, mars 1946 segði Dam seg eisini vera vónsviknan av, at eingin felags føroysk loysn var fingin (AS, 57), og tað var sjálvandi ein veikleik

The Oil Affairs Department has served as the board's office, and Petur Joensen has been the secretary.
BLARK_translated
Oljumáladeildin hevur verið skrivstova hjá nevndini, og Petur Joensen hevur verið skrivari.
In addition to internal meetings, the board has held meetings with and consulted the authorities in Norway and Denmark and oil companies in Norway, Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
BLARK_translated
Nevndin hevur umframt innanhýsis fundir havt fundir við og ráðført seg við myndugleikar í Noregi og Danmark og oljufeløg í Noregi, Danmark, Grønlandi og í Føroyum.
Emphasis can be placed on obtaining income from fees and taxes, on creating business opportunities and jobs, and on developing skill levels. One of the tools to achieve some of these goals could be to establish a Faroese national oil company that could participate in potential oil production.
BLARK_translated
Dentur kann verða lagdur á at fáa inntøkur av avgjøldum og skattum, at skapa vinnumøguleikar og arbeiðspláss, at menna førleikastigið. Eitt av amboðunum at røkka nøkur av hesum málum kann vera at seta á stovn eitt føroyskt landsoljufelag, ið kann luttaka í eini møguligari oljuvinnu.
In several countries — including our neighboring countries — the authorities have chosen to let a national oil company take care of the commercial interests in order to further advance and achieve the various societal goals associated with the oil industry.
BLARK_translated
Í fleiri londum - eisini í okkara grannalondum - hava myndugleikarnir valt at lata eitt landsolju-felag taka sær av handilsligu áhugamálunum fyri á hendan hátt at koma longur á leið at røkka teimum ymisku endamálunum hjá samfelagnum í samband við oljuvinnu.
Although the board has not addressed the question of whether a Faroese national oil company should be established, some arguments for and against are presented in this report.
BLARK_translated
Hóast nevndin ikki hevur viðgjørt spurningin, hvørt eitt føroyskt landsoljufelag skal setast á stovn, eru nøkur sjónarmið fyri og ímóti endurgivin í hesum áliti.
Other disadvantages can be that a public company may become less efficient than a private company, and that a national oil company may come to have too great an independent influence in society.
BLARK_translated
Aðrir vansar kunnu vera, at eitt alment felag kann gerast minni effektivt enn eitt privat felag, og at eitt landsoljufelag kann koma at fáa ov stóra sjálvstøðuga ávirkan í samfelagnum.
The National Oil Company should not have the same objectives as society has regarding the oil industry, because it is important that the company, as a commercial enterprise, is managed to operate under market conditions, and this requires that the company be run according to commercial principles.
BLARK_translated
Landsoljufelagið eigur ikki at hava somu stevnumið sum samfelagið hevur við oljuvinnuni, tí umráðandi er, at felagið sum frálíður verður ført fyri at virka undir marknaðartreytum, og hetta krevur, at felagið verður rikið eftir handilsligum grundreglum.
A national oil company that participates directly in the industry on a commercial basis can be expected to pursue certain societal objectives, such as:
BLARK_translated
Eitt landsoljufelag, ið luttekur beinleiðis í vinnuni á handilsligum grundarlagi, kann væntast umvegis at røkja nøkur samfelagslig stevnumið, so sum:
With its possible participation in all permits, the company gains extensive commercial and technical insight that the authorities can make use of.
BLARK_translated
Við síni møguligu luttøku í øllum loyvum fær felagið víðfevnt handilsligt og tøkniligt innlit, sum myndugleikarnir kunnu fáa gagn av.
Through its direct participation and collaboration with the various organizations, the national oil company gets the opportunity to make them aware of Faroese businesses, thereby increasing their chances of being able to move forward to deliver goods and services.
BLARK_translated
Í síni beinleiðis luttøku og samstarvi við tey ymsu samtøkini, fær landsoljufelagið møguleika fyri at gera tey varug við føroysk virki, og soleiðis økja um teirra møguleikar at sleppa framat at lata vørur og tænastur.
A Faroese national oil company can participate in potential oil production in the Faroese area at various levels within upstream activities. In addition, there is the possibility that the authorities will reserve for themselves the right (option) to grant the national oil company a share in licenses.
BLARK_translated
Eitt føroyskt landsoljufelag kann luttaka í møguligari oljuvinnu á føroyskum øki á ymiskum stigum innan up-stream virksemi.1) Harumframt er møguleiki fyri, at myndugleikarnir tilskila sær rætt (optión)2) at lata landsoljufelag fáa part í loyvum.
If the company is also to be registered in order to participate in reservoir assessments and the planning of production equipment, more staff will be required, for example engineers, depending on how many permits are involved.
BLARK_translated
Skal felagið eisini vera ført fyri at verða við í reservoirmetingum og tilrættislegging av framleiðslu-útgerð, krevjast fleiri starvsfólk, eitt nú verkfrøðingar, alt eftir hvussu nógv loyvi talan er um.
If the company is to be a lead company, the situation is completely different. One can start, for example, with the national oil company taking on lead company tasks together with another company, as the Norwegian company Saga did in the beginning. Saga had people from ESSO guide them in these tasks and thus became tec...
BLARK_translated
Skal felagið vera fyristøðufelag, er støðan heilt øðrvísi. Byrjast kann t.d. við, at landsoljufelagið átekur sær fyristøðufelagsuppgávur saman við øðrum felag, eins og norska felagið Saga gjørdi í byrjanini. Saga fekk fólk frá ESSO at leiðbeina seg í hesum uppgávum og gjørdist sum fráleið tøkniliga ført fyri at átaka s...
If the national oil company takes on the tasks of an operating company, many more people will be needed. However, it is not necessary for the company itself to hire all the staff; people can be leased as required, as the Danish semi-public operating company DANOP has done.
BLARK_translated
Skal landsoljufelagið átaka sær fyristøðufelagsuppgávur, verður brúk fyri nógv fleiri fólkum. Kortini er ikki neyðugt, at felagið sjálvt setir øll fólkini í starv, men kunnu fólk leigast eftir tørvi, eins og danska hálvalmenna fyristøðufelagið, DANOP3), hevur gjørt.
A joint-stock company is an independent legal person whose activities are regulated by the Companies Act. The board of directors of a joint-stock company has both formal and actual authority to make decisions on behalf of the company. The owner's only formal way to exert direct influence is to replace the board at the ...
BLARK_translated
Eitt partafelag er ein sjálvstøðugur løgfrøðiligur persónur, hvørs virksemi er fyriskipað í partafelagslógini. Nevndin í einum partafelag hevur bæði formliga og veruliga heimild at taka avgerðir felagsins vegna. Einasti formligi møguleiki eigarans fyri beinleiðis ávirkan er at skifta nevndina út á aðalfundi felagsins. ...
If it is not a limited company but a state-owned enterprise, one must expect that the political authorities will generally have greater ability to influence day-to-day operations.
BLARK_translated
Er talan ikki um partafelag, men um landsfyritøku, má roknast við, at politiski myndugleikin vanliga hevur størri møguleika fyri at ávirka dagliga raksturin.
The greater operational freedom of a joint-stock company means that it is better positioned than a state-owned enterprise to compete with other companies in the same business area. It is also easier to compare the accounts of a publicly traded company with the accounts of a competitor that uses the joint-stock company ...
BLARK_translated
Størra virkisfrælsið hjá einum partafelag ger, at tað betur enn ein landsfyritøka er ført fyri at kappast við onnur feløg innan sama virkisøki.

A national oil company should be run according to commercial principles, and its operations as a whole should be conducted according to the main rules for commercial enterprises. This means that the company limited by shares is well suited.
BLARK_translated
Eitt landsoljufelag eigur at verða rikið eftir handilsligum grundreglum, og virksemið sum heild eigur at verða rikið eftir meginreglunum fyri vinnuligar fyritøkur. Hetta merkir, at partafelagsform-urin er væl egnaður.
If it is assumed that the licence conditions stipulate that a Faroese national oil company must participate in all licences and be carried4) — i.e. that the other licence holders pay the expenses of the relevant company — it is most likely that the political requirement is that the national oil company must become publ...

Verður roknað við, at loyvistreytirnar áseta, at eitt føroyskt landsoljufelag skal luttaka í øllum loyvum og verða borið4) - t.v.s. at hinir loyvishavararnir gjalda útreiðslurnar hjá viðkomandi felag - er mest sannlíkt, at politiska kravið er, at landsoljufelagið skal verða almenn ogn.
The political principle is probably that when the people of the Faroe Islands own the oil in the subsoil, all the people of the Faroe Islands should also own what comes out of it, and that the oil companies should bear a joint company. Also because the oil companies will hardly provide it for free.
BLARK_translated
Politiska grundsjónarmiðið verður helst, at tá Føroya fólk eigur oljuna í undirgrundini, skal alt Føroya fólk eisini eiga tað, sum kemur burturúr, at oljufeløgini bera eitt partafelag. Eisini tí at oljufeløgini neyvan bera tað ókeypis.
Direct private ownership participation is not expected in the early years. On the other hand, it is conceivable that there will be broad political agreement that a public national oil company should in some way cooperate with private companies.
BLARK_translated
Roknað verður ikki við beinleiðis privatari ognarluttøku fyrstu árini. Hinvegin kann hugsast, at breið politisk semja verður um, at eitt alment landsoljufelag á ein ella annan hátt skal samstarva við privat feløg.
There must be a clear separation between the state’s regulatory role and its ownership role in relation to the company. Not least when there are other companies, both Faroese and foreign, that can be considered competitors of the national oil company, it is essential that the company and the appointed board members do ...

Board members should be elected based on personal qualifications. The chair of the board should not be employed in the public administration, because he must, if necessary, be able to independently represent the company vis-à-vis the owner. People who work in the public oil administration should not be board members.
BLARK_translated
Nevndarlimir eiga at verða valdir eftir persónligum førleika. Nevndarformaðurin eigur ikki at starvast í almennu umsitingini, tí hann skal, um neyðugt, vera førur fyri óheftur at umboða felagið mótvegis eigaranum. Fólk, sum starvast við almenna oljuumsiting, eiga ikki at vera nevndarlimir.
When a national oil company and its operations can have an extremely large impact on Faroese society, political oversight must nevertheless be considered necessary. In this connection, consideration should be given to whether an ombuds council should be established to supervise the company's management, and/or whether ...

The association's purpose will be to operate carbon business and other activities related to such operations. The association will be run according to the principles of commercial enterprises. This also applies when the association assumes obligations under permits, under agreements with public authorities, etc.

Ásett er í viðtøkunum, at nevndarlimir og stjórar eru í nevndar- og stjórnararbeiðinum óheftir av landinum, starvsfólkinum og øðrum, og skulu ikki í støkum málum taka ímóti boðum frá nøkrum.

When it has been said that there are obstacles to Faroese businesses developing, it has often been pointed out that our domestic market is small and that we are far from the markets on the continent. If oil activities come here, that market will be considerably closer, and it will become part of our domestic market. Th...

For an amendment proposal to be adopted, more votes in favor than against are required. If the vote is tied, the proposal is defeated.
BLARK_translated
Skal eitt broytingaruppskot verða samtykt krevst, at fleiri atkvøður eru fyri enn ímóti. Stendur á jøvnum, er uppskotið fallið.
When a clause is to be voted on separately, it is likewise required to approve the clause that more votes are in favour than against. If the vote is tied, the clause is defeated.
BLARK_translated
Verður atkvøtt um td. eina grein fyri seg krevst somuleiðis fyri at samtykkja greinina, at fleiri atkvøður eru fyri enn ímóti. Stendur á jøvnum, er greinin fallin.
The difference is that if the parliament wishes to delete a provision (or, for example, a specific appropriation in the budget law), it is easier to reject the provision if it is voted on separately than if an amendment proposing to delete the provision is put forward.

Although the secondary school was unified, there were nevertheless some subjects that were split into tracks, i.e., that the instruction was offered at two different difficulty levels. This applied only to the four old secondary-school subjects: arithmetic/mathematics, English, German and biology/chemistry.

Hóast framhaldsskúlin var óbýttur, so vóru tó nakrar lærugreinir, sum vóru skeiðbýttar, t.e. at undirvísingin var á tveimum ymsum torleikastigum. Hetta var bert galdandi fyri tær 4 gomlu realskúlalærugreinirnar: rokning/støddfrøði, enskt, týskt og alis-/evnafrøði.
