Likewise, work was done on internal regulations, division of labor, guidelines, etc. | BLARK_translated | Somuleiðis varð arbeitt við innanhýsis reglugerðum, arbeiðsbýti, leiðreglum v.m. |
A lot came out of the weekend. The plan is, as far as possible, to get everything that was worked on put into practice. | BLARK_translated | Sera nógv kom burturúr vikuskiftinum. Ætlanin er, so vítt gjørligt at fáa alt, ið arbeitt varð við, ført út í lívið. |
It is thought that this initiative with such a work-week shift is very important and rewarding, and the plan is therefore for this to be a recurring event every year. | BLARK_translated | Mett verður at hesin táttur við slíkum arbeiðsvikuskifti er sera týdningarmikil og gevandi, og er ætlanin tí at hetta verður afturvendandi tiltak hvørt ár. |
The board and management of the Workers’ Association continued to visit members around the country. In early May they visited out west in Vágar, where they met members at their workplaces and organized an evening gathering with trade union and musical content. | BLARK_translated | Nevnd og umsiting í Starvsmannafelagnum heldur fram at vitja limir kring landið. Fyrst í mai vóru tey á vitjan vesturi í Vágum, har tey hittu limir á arbeiðsplássum teirra eins og skipað varð fyri kvøldsetu við fakfelagsligum og tónlistalgum innihaldi. |
In the evening at Hotel Vágar, the association’s chairwoman, Selma Ellingsgaard, presented the association’s website and the work to establish specialist groups within the association. Also present was Dan Joensen, an insurance agent, who explained the changes in the pension area. During the break Sámal Ravnsfjall play... | BLARK_translated | Á kvøldsetuni á Hotel Vágum greiddi forkvinna felagsins, Selma Ellingsgaard frá heimasíðu felagsins og arbeiðinum at stovna fakbólkar innan felagið. Eisini var Dan Joensen, tryggingarmaður, við og greiddi frá broytingunum á eftirlønarøkinum. Í steðginum spældi og sang Sámal Ravnsfjall. |
The Union of Civil Servants has for some time been working to establish subject-specific sections for the various professional fields that are in the union. The purpose is to strengthen the professional cohesion of the occupational groups and to highlight their specific professional interests. | BLARK_translated | Starvsmannafelagið hevur eina tíð arbeitt fyri, at stovnseta fakbólkar fyri tey ymisku fakøkini, sum eru í felagnum. Endamálið er at styrkja fakliga samleikan hjá yrkisbólkunum og at varpa ljós á tey serligu fakligu áhugamálini. |
Dávur Eyðunsson Sørensen is chairman of the working committee that is working to establish the professional group for IT people. He works daily as an IT guard at the University. This series of articles is an example of how the professional groups can make their profession more visible in the Civil Servants’ Union. | BLARK_translated | Dávur Eyðunsson Sørensen er formaður í arbeiðsnevndini, sum virkar fyri at stovnsseta fakbólkin fyri kt-fólkini. Dagliga arbeiðir hann sum kt-vørður á Fróðskaparsetrinum. Hendan greinarøð er eitt dømi um hvussu fakbólkarnir kunnu gera sítt fak meira sjónligt í Starvsmannafelagnum. |
This desire/ambition is exciting; it is appealing and it will not be a quick job. And it will require Faroese ICT people with appropriate skills to participate in this process. So one hopes that those who make the decision do this with the understanding that it is necessary both to train new people and to develop the s... | BLARK_translated | Hetta ynskið er spennandi; tað bjóðar av og tað verður ikki løtuverk.

So tað er at vóna, at tey, ið taka avgerðina, gera hetta við tí í huga, at neyðugt er bæði at útbúgva nýggj fólk og førleikamenna verandi. Hetta fer at geva okkum... |
The term Open Source describes the rights and conditions within the development of so‑called 'free software' — in the sense of 'free/libre software', not meaning simply free of charge, although most free/libre software is free of charge. | BLARK_translated | Open Source hugtakið lýsir rættindi og treytir innan menning av sonevndum ’free software’ – í merkingini ’frælsur ritbúnaður’, ikki treytaleyst ókeypis, hóast mesti frælsi ritbúnaðurin er ókeypis. |
The aforementioned freedom is described, among other places, on the website (in English): | BLARK_translated | Umrødda frælsi er lýst m.a. á heimasíðuni (á enskum): |
Free software is a matter of the users’ freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. | BLARK_translated | Free software is a matter of the users’ freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. |
Freedom to distribute copies of the software so your neighbor can benefit from it. | BLARK_translated | Frælsi at breiða út eintøk av ritbúnaðinum, so tín næsti fær gagn av honum. |
The business model in Open Source is largely based on the idea that you should not have to pay to own software; you can download and use it, often completely without restrictions.

Tað er hinvegin ikki óvanligt fyri – serstakliga – serforrit at man kann biðja um gjald fyri øktan funktionalitet og víðkaðar tænastuveitingar í sambandi... |
Few will doubt that Microsoft is the large closed-source manufacturer whose own products, as well as partner products, can be found on nearly all computers; even those who buy Mac computers from the closed-source manufacturer Apple often choose to purchase the Microsoft Office office software package as well. | BLARK_translated | Fáur man ivast í, at Microsoft er tann stóri Closed Source framleiðarin, hvørs egnu produktir, eins og partnaraproduktir, eru at finna á nærum øllum teldum; sjálvt tey, sum keypa Mac-teldu frá Closed Source framleiðarinum Apple, velja ofta at keypa sær Microsoft Office kontórforritapakkan afturat. |
The business model within Closed Source is that you must buy the software and thereby pay a usage fee, possibly also pay for additional services. One is usually barred from tinkering with and modifying the software, because that is considered to infringe the manufacturer’s copyright. Following this approach, responsibi... | BLARK_translated | Handilsmodellið innan Closed Source er, at tú skal keypa ritbúnaðin og harvið gjalda eitt nýtslugjald, møguliga harumframt eisini gjalda fyri eyka tænastuveitingar. Man verður aloftast álagdur ikki at pilka við og broyta ritbúnaðin, tí tað verður roknað fyri at gera seg inná upphavsrættin hjá framleiðaranum. Eftir hesu... |
Predictions have long indicated that the conventional computer as we know it — desktop computers with a screen or laptops — will largely disappear from people's home environments, and smart devices (tablets, mobile phones, televisions, etc.) will become the primary means of using ICT.

The group has already held a few meetings, but work has not yet really gotten underway. The goal in 2014 is to make the group active and, in addition, better known among the members. | BLARK_translated | Bólkurin hevur longu havt nakrar fundir, men enn er ikki komin rættilig gongd á arbeiðið. Málið í 2014 er at gera bólkin virknan og harafturat betri kendan millum limirnar. |
Crucial is that a clear, long-term plan is laid down, which must be followed to the letter. | BLARK_translated | Altavgerandi er, at løgd verður ein greið langskygd ætlan, sum skal fylgjast í odd og egg. |
The translation work must therefore be started, as a top priority and without delay, from the most commonly used user applications: the office software package | BLARK_translated | Umsetingararbeiðið skal tískil, við hægstu raðfesting og uttan drál, setast í gongd av teimum vanligastu brúkaraforritunum: Kontórforritapakkanum |
This will be a pure win-win situation, because the school system will be strengthened — which is of course necessary in such an approach — and from this we will get a well-trained ICT workforce, well motivated and with roots in Faroese conditions and who will feel genuine ownership of the systems they are to develop an... | BLARK_translated | Hetta verður ein rein vinn-vinn støða, tí skúlaverkið verður styrkt – tað er sjálvsagt neyðugt í slíkari tilgongd – og vit fáa haðani ein vælútbúnan KT-fólkahóp, væl motiverað og við rótfesti í føroyskum viðurskiftum og sum koma at kenna sær ektaðan ognarskap av teimum skipanum tey skulu menna og/ella arbeiða við.

If we look at the proposal, we see that the coalition has no documentary evidence that providing the navigation channels will be any benefit to society and to all of us. And the justifications for the decision are moreover very shallow and unconvincing. | BLARK_translated | Hyggja vit at uppskotinum, so síggja vit, at samgongan hevur onga skjalváttan fyri, at tað verður nakar fyrimunur fyri samfelagið og okkum øll at útveita farleiðirnar. Og grundgevingarnar fyri avgerðini eru harafturat ógvuliga grunnar og lítið sannførandi: |
This is almost everything. In other words: If we do this, you – yes then it will be easier for you. It will be. Read my lips! | BLARK_translated | Hetta er stórtsæð alt. Við øðrum orðum: Gera vit hetta, tit – ja so verður tað lættari tit. Tað verður tað. Read my lips! |
But most have long since discovered that the emperor is naked. | BLARK_translated | Men tey flestu hava langt síðani uppdagað, at keisarin er nakin. |
As both the opposition in the parliament and the Outlying Islands Association have pointed out, there is nothing to indicate that the service will become cheaper or better. | BLARK_translated | Sum bæði andstøðan á tingi og Útoyggjafelagið hava víst á, so er einki sum bendir á, at tænastan verður bíligari ella betri. |
The minority in the parliament's industry committee points out that there is nothing in Jóhan Dahl's bill that “indicates or makes it likely that outsourcing will make the service better or cheaper” for the 15% of the Faroe Islands' | BLARK_translated | Minnilutin í løgtingsins vinnunevnd vísir á, at tað er einki í lógaruppskotinum hjá Jóhan Dahl sum „lýsir ella ger sannlíkt at ein útveiting fer at gera tænastuna betri ella bíliagri“ fyri tey 15 % av Føroya |
But the proposal — with that risky/uncertain effect — is not just a gamble with the fate of the people of the outlying islands. | BLARK_translated | Men uppskotið – við tí ivingarsama virkninginum – er ikki bara hasardspæl við lagnuni hjá útoyggjafólki. |
It is also a reckless political game with the livelihoods of many employees who work at SSL and who undoubtedly feel uneasy about the news that the workplace may now be moving into other hands. | BLARK_translated | Tað er eisini eitt ábyrgdarleyst politiskt spæl við livibreyðnum hjá nógvum starvsfólkum, sum arbeiða á SSL og sum ivaleyst kenna seg ørkymlað av tíðindunum um at arbeiðsplássið nú kanska skal á aðrar hendur. |
What will happen to me then? Will I lose my job? What about the mortgage we took out last year? | BLARK_translated | Hvussu verður so hjá mær. Missi eg arbeiðið? Hvussu verður við húsaláninum, vit tóku í fjør? |
The coastal shipping company has been sailing in rough seas in recent months because the grant has been fully withdrawn. That creates grief and insecurity among the staff, and the plan to outsource makes the situation even more uncertain. And that is irresponsible. Yes, almost heartless, the way the situation has been ... | BLARK_translated | Strandferðslan hevur seinastu mánaðirnar siglt í tungum sjógvi, tí játtanin er yvirtrekt. Tað skapar fjáltur og ótryggleika millum starvsfólkini, og ætlanin um útveiting ger støðuna uppaftur meira ótrygga. Og tað er ábyrgdarleyst. Ja næstan hjartaleyst, soleiðis sum støðan hevur verið á SSL. |
But here too the proposal is to provide routes for Strandferðslan as a package. | BLARK_translated | Men eisini her er uppskotið at útveita leiðir hjá Strandferðsluni makkverk. |
When trying to sell his proposal to the people of the Faroes — presenting the Faroes as a low-tax country modeled on the Isle of Man — the plan quickly got the nickname “Hocus-Pocus solution.” The reason was that the plan was so poorly substantiated and documented that the party couldn’t convince anyone that it would h... | BLARK_translated | royndi at selja Føroya fólki sítt uppskot um Føroyar sum lágskattaland við Isle of Man sum fyrimynd, fekk ætlanin skjótt eyknevnið „Hokus-pokus loysn“. Orsøkin var, at ætlanin var so illa kjølfest og dokumenterað, at flokkurin ikki megnaði at sannføra nakran annan um, at ætlanin fór at hava aðra ávirkan enn at tøma lan... |
I am afraid that the experiment with Strandferðslan is also a kind of political hocus-pocus. They are guessing at how it will work, but have in no way proven or made it likely that the experiment can succeed. | BLARK_translated | Eg eri bangin fyri, at eksperimentið við Strandferðsluni eisini er eitt sovorðið politisk hokus-pokus. Tey gita um virknaðin, men hava á ongan hátt prógvað ella gjørt tað sannlíkt, at eksperimentið kann eydnast. |
Therefore it is to be hoped that politicians with ordinary sense and a sense of social responsibility will be able to stop this unfounded and undocumented political experiment. | BLARK_translated | Tískil er at vóna, at politikarar við vanligum skili og samfelagsligari ábyrgdarkenslu, megna at steðga hesum ógrundaða og ódokumentaraða politiska eksperimentinum. |
CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION: Fewer and more professional ministries. All in the same building and many shared services. These are some of the main recommendations from the civil service group that has written a discussion paper about reviewing the Faroese central administration. | BLARK_translated | MIÐFYRISITINGIN: Færri og meira reindyrkaði stjórnarráð. Øll í sama bygningini og nógvar felagstænastur. Hetta eru nøkur av høvuðstilmælinum hjá embætismannabólkinum, sum hevur skrivað eitt kjakupplegg um at endurskoða føroysku miðfyrisitingina. |
This runs through like a red thread in a 65-page long report that a group of civil servants in the government have written about how we can organize the Faroese national administration in the future. | BLARK_translated | Hetta gongur aftur sum ein reyður tráður í 65 síður langari frágreiðing, sum ein bólkur av embætisfólkum í landsstýrinum hevur skrivað, um hvussu vit kunnu skipa føroyska landsfyrisitingina í framtíðini. |
The government wishes to put the organization of the administration back on the agenda now that 18 years have passed since the administration was reorganized into a separate ministry with ministerial responsibility. | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrið ynskir at seta bygnaðin í fyrisitingini aftur á dagsskrá, nú 18 ár eru liðin, síðani umsitingin varð umskipað í serstøk stjórnarráð við ráðharraábyrgd. |
Underlying this is a political desire within the coalition to rationalize and make the operations of the central administration more efficient. | BLARK_translated | Undir hesum býr eitt politiskt ynski í samgonguni um at rasjonalisera og gera virksemið í miðfyrisitingini meira effektivt. |
Ministries should be allowed to be ministries. Institutions should be institutions. | BLARK_translated | Ministeriir skulu sleppa at vera ministeriir. Stovnar skulu vera stovnar. |
Since the reorganization in the mid-’90s, the number of ministries has fluctuated between six and nine. This should be changed so that there are fewer ministries — and that should be established directly in our constitution. | BLARK_translated | Síðani umskipanina miðskeiðis í 90'unum hevur talið á stjórnarráðum sveigga millum seks og níggju. Hetta eigur at vera broytt, soleiðis at tað vera færri stjórnarráð – og tað eigur at verða staðfest beinleiðis í okkara stýrisskipan. |
The central administration is based on a system with several ministries. Today there are seven of them. | BLARK_translated | Miðfyrisitingin byggir á eina skipan við fleiri stjórnarráðum. Í dag eru tey sjey í tali. |
the administration gets an administrative leader — a kind of chief executive — who will have the main responsibility for running the entire administration. | BLARK_translated | fyrisitingin fær ein fyrisitingarligan leiðara – eitt slag at superstjóra – sum fær høvuðsábyrgdina at reka alla fyrisitingina. |
It provides opportunities to work on staff development and can prevent too many projects from being started at the same time. | BLARK_translated | Tað gevur møguleikar at arbeiða við starvsfólkamenning og kann forða fyri, at tað ikki verða settar ov nógvar verkætlanin í gong í senn. |
The problem today is that far too many plans and legislative proposals end up in desk drawers and are never implemented, because the ministries do not know enough about each other, while the plans often lack political support, the drafting working group writes in the discussion paper. | BLARK_translated | Trupulleikin í dag er, at ov nógvar ætlanir og lógaruppskot enda í skrivaraborðskuffunum og vera ongantíð settar í verk, tí at ráðini ikki vita nóg væl av hvørjum øðrum, samstundis sum ætlanirnar ofta mangla politiska undirtøku, skrivar arbeiðsbólkurin í kjakupplegginum. |
Work experience, and thereby practical skills, can certainly be just as valuable an asset as an academic degree — this is one of the main messages from the Civil Service Association in connection with the new structure in the national administration. | BLARK_translated | Starvsroyndir, og harvið praktiskur førleiki, kunnu saktans vera eins virðismikið aktiv, sum eitt akademiskt prógv, er ein av høvuðsboðskapunum hjá Starvsmannafelagnum í sambandi við nýggja bygnaðin í landsfyrisitingini. |
Experience shows that an increasing proportion of the staff in the public administration are academics. This is a trend that has also developed outside our borders, and which they call academization. The Civil Servants’ Association makes it clear that the association has absolutely nothing against people with academic ... | BLARK_translated | Sannroynd er, at ein alt størri partur av starvsfólkunum í almennu fyrisitingini, eru akademikarar. Hetta er eitt rák, sum eisini er farið fram uttan um okkum, og sum tey kalla akademisering. Starvsmannafelagið ger greitt, at felagið hevur als einki ímóti at fólk, við akademiskari útbúgving, arbeiða í miðfyrisitingini.... |
the association that places its trust in expensive trials and real competence not being disregarded, but valued on an equal footing with other professional groups. | BLARK_translated | felagið, sum setir sítt álit á, at dýrabærar royndir og realkompetansa ikki verða lorka burtur, men virðismett á jøvnum føti við aðrar fakbólkar. |
With this in mind, the national auditor asks what the government and the director-general are doing. In her opinion, directors and principal advisers are those who have the greatest impact on public administration. They are the ones who should have the overall management, and who | BLARK_translated | Við hesum í huga spyr landsgrannskoðarin hvat stjórnarráðið og aðalstjórin gera. Eftir henna tykki eru aðalstjórar og aðalráð tey, sum hava størstu ávirkan á almennu umsitingina. Tað eru tey, sum skulu hava yvirskipaðu stýringina, og sum |
must monitor that the things in the area are as they should be. | BLARK_translated | skulu hava eftirlit við at tingini í økinum eru, sum tey eiga at vera. |
Yes, I think there is a need for changes. Not because I think everyone isn’t doing their best to solve their tasks, and the work atmosphere is probably fine. But I believe it matters that the ministries take on the responsibility that a ministry should have. To be at the forefront and a role model, because as with ever... | BLARK_translated | Jú, eg haldi at tørvur er broytingum. Ikki tí, eg haldi at øll gera tað tey kunnu fyri at loysa sínar uppgávur, og arbeiðslagið er ivaleyst í lagi. Men eg haldi tað hevur týdning, at stjórnarráðini taka á seg ta ábyrgd, sum eitt stjórnarráð eigur at hava. At vera í fremst og fyrimynd, tí sum í øllum, so ávirkast alt – ... |
We believe that the approach of making changes in the national administration can well be based on a set number of ministries. The number of ministries should not be decisive. Instead, care for the areas that must be considered necessary in a welfare society should provide a guide to the required number of ministries. | BLARK_translated | Vit meta, at tilgongdin við broytingum í landsfyrisitingini gott kann taka støði í einum ásettum tali av stjórnarráðum. Talið av ráðum eigur ikki verða avgerandi. Í staðin má røkt av økjunum, sum mugu metast neyðug í einum vælferðarsamfelagi, geva ein hóming av neyðugum tali av ráðum. |
Moreover, the years under the current system show that cooperation between the political parties is a reality that must be taken into account before a final number of ministries is set. It might perhaps have been better if it had been determined which tasks are attached to each individual ministry, and not as is now, w... | BLARK_translated | Umframt hetta vísa árini við verandi skipan, at samstarv millum politisku flokkarnar er ein veruleiki, sum hædd má takast fyri, áðrenn eitt endaligt tal av stjórnarráðum verður ásett. Tað hevði kanska verið betri, um tað hevði verið fastlagt, hvørjar uppgávur eru knýttar at tí einstaka ráðnum, og ikki sum nú, har løgma... |
The staff believe that more formal changes in the organization of ministries can improve cooperation between | BLARK_translated | Starvsfólkini halda, at meira formellar broytingar í skipanini av stjórnarráðum kunnu betra um samstarvið millum |
Only very few people should work in the main ministries, and instead the public institutions should be strengthened. That yields more for less, says Rúni Joensen, special legal adviser to the government. | BLARK_translated | Bert heilt fá fólk skulu starvast í aðalráðunum, og ístaðin skulu almennu stovnarnir styrkjast. Tá fæst meira fyri minni, heldur Rúni Joensen, serligur løgfrøðiligur ráðgevi hjá landsstýrinum |

With these changes Rúni Joensen believes that we can avoid duplicate functions, and that we would also get more for less. | BLARK_translated | Við hesum broytingum heldur Rúni Joensen, at sleppast kann undan dupultfunktiónum, og at vit eisini vildu fingið meira fyri minni. |

The so-called debate format is doomed from the start. It is without juice and energy and will not awaken anyone, says Reidar Nónfjall, former director at Standferðslan and the Faroe Islands Business School. | BLARK_translated | Sonevnda kjakuppleggið er frá byrjan deyðsdømt.

The working group's proposal is far too shallow and fails to give a realistic picture of the activities in the various ministries and to describe the risks and the diversity that characterize the government ministries, says the board of the Faroese Society of Economists and Lawyers, which believes that this is more of ... | BLARK_translated | Uppleggið hjá arbeiðsbólkinum er alt ov grunt og megnar ikki at geva eina reella mynd av virkseminum í ymsu ráðunum og at lýsa vavi og ta fjølbroytni, sum eyðkennir stjórnarráðini, sigur nevndin í Búskapar- og Løgfrøðingafelag Føroya, sum heldur, at her er meira talan um eitt spariupplegg heldur enn ein verulig umskipa... |

Men tað hevur týdning fyri fólkaræðið, at almenn starvsfólk tora at varskógva um ivasom viðurskifti, og í øðrum londum verður arbeitt við at veita te... |
Shocking revelations out in the world in recent years have proven how important it is that people who have insight dare to reveal their knowledge. | BLARK_translated | Skakandi avdúkingar úti í verðini seinastu árini hava prógvað, hvussu stóran týdning tað hevur, at fólk, ið hava innlit, tora at avdúka sína vitan. |
At the Ecuadorian embassy in London another well-known whistleblower or informant is hiding. The 43-year-old Australian Julian Assange has made public over one hundred thousand secret documents about, among other things, the US conduct of war in Iraq and Afghanistan on his website WikiLeaks. US authorities accuse him o... | BLARK_translated | Á sendistovuni hjá Ecuador í London krógvar ein annar kendur whistleblower ella varskógvari seg. Tann 43 ára gamli australiumaðurin Julian Assange hevur almannakunngjørt yvir hundrað túsund loynilig skjøl um m.a. krígsførsluna hjá USA í Irak og Afghanistan á netsíðu sínari WikiLeaks. Amerikanskir myndugleikar skuldseta... |
Even in our area there are several examples of whistleblowers who have gotten into trouble with those in power. One of them is the Danish security guard Anders Koustrup Kærgaard, who two years ago made public a video recording with Iraqi soldiers under Danish command who beat and kicked Iraqi civilians. The Danish whis... | BLARK_translated | Eisini á okkara leiðum eru fleiri dømir um varskógvarar, ið hava fingið ilt í tey ráðandi. Ein teirra er danski herovastin Anders Koustrup Kærgaard, sum fyri tveimum árum síðani almannakunngjørdi eina sjónbandaupptøku við irakiskum hermonnum undir danskari leiðslu, ið slógu og sparkaðu irakisk sivilfólk. Danski varskóg... |
Also Faroese environmental activists have brought important issues to light that have had major consequences in our local environment. | BLARK_translated | Eisini føroyskir varskógvarar hava fingið týðandi mál fram í ljósið, sum hava fingið stórar avleiðingar í okkara heimliga umhvørvi. |
Most public employees in the Faroe Islands are afraid to speak their minds and to come forward with their knowledge about misconduct and irregularities. These are the experiences of most journalists, who daily try to obtain information about matters that are handled by the administration. | BLARK_translated | Flestu almennu starvsfólk í Føroyum eru bangin fyri at siga sína hugsan og koma fram við síni vitan um skeivleikar og óreglusemi. Tað eru royndirnar hjá flestu fjølmiðlafólkum, ið dagliga royna at fáa upplýsingar fram um mál, ið verða viðgjørd í fyrisitingini. |
A survey that two political scientists conducted a few years ago also showed that many civil servants refrain from expressing their views or discussing matters they have insight into. Several have felt the sting of having spoken out at the workplace, and most therefore prefer the safer option and keep silent. | BLARK_translated | Ein kanning, ið tveir stjórnmálafrøðingar gjørdu fyri nøkrum árum síðani, vísti eisini, at nógv embætisfólk aftra seg við at siga sína áskoðan ella tosa um mál, ið tey hava innlit í. Fleiri hava kent sviðan av at hava úttalað seg á arbeiðsplássinum, og tey flestu velja tí heldur ta tryggu loysnina og tiga. |
Elsewhere work is being done to find solutions that can ensure that public employees dare to blow the whistle, because it is of great importance for democracy that the public administration is transparent and that irregularities are brought to light. Several Danish municipalities and private companies have also impleme... | BLARK_translated | Aðrastaðni verður arbeitt við at finna loysnir, sum kunnu tryggja, at almenn starvsfólk tora at slatra, tí tað hevur stóran týdning fyri fólkaræðið, at almenna fyrisitingin er gjøgnumskygd, og at skeivleikar koma fram í ljósið. Fleiri danskar kommunur og privatar fyritøkur hava eisini sett í verk whistleblowerskipanir,... |
In the Faroe Islands there are still no plans presented in this area. | BLARK_translated | Í Føroyum eru enn ongar ætlanir lagdar fram á hesum øki. |
Heini í Skorini, who is writing a PhD thesis on criticism of religion and freedom of speech in an international context, has great respect for several of the well-known whistleblowers who have made themselves noticed around the world in recent years. | BLARK_translated | Heini í Skorini, ið skrivar ph.d.ritgerð um religiónskritikk og talufrælsi í altjóða samanhangi, hevur stóra virðing fyri fleiri av teimum kendu whistleblowers ella varskógvarum, ið hava gjørt vart við seg úti í heimi seinastu árini. |
A man like Edward Snowden is a hero. He has exposed surveillance by the U.S. intelligence service that is more widespread than anyone could have imagined. It is very important that the world learns that the U.S. is spying on everything and everyone, he says. | BLARK_translated | Ein maður sum Edward Snowden er ein hetja. Hann hevur avdúkað avlurtingar hjá amerikansku fregnartænastuni, ið eru meira víðgongdar, enn nakar kundi ímynda sær. Tað hevur stóran týdning, at heimurin fær at vita, at USA avlurtar alt og øll, sigur hann. |
The well-known whistleblower who took refuge in the US, Julian Assange, is not held in such high regard. | BLARK_translated | Hin kendi varskógvarin, ið krógvar seg fyri USA, Julian Assange, er ikki eins høgt í metum. |
Assange is a much more complex whistleblower. He publishes everything he gets hold of. Much of it is good to bring out, but some of it is just rubbish and nonsense, and some is downright harmful. Assange is a reckless whistleblower who sees the USA as the great Satan, and who does not care if he puts the lives of peopl... | BLARK_translated | Assange er ein nógv meira samansettur varskógvari. Hann leggur alt út, ið hann fær fatur á. Nógv er gott at fáa fram, men sumt er bert slatur og sleyg, og okkurt er beinleiðis skaðiligt. Assange er ein fyrilitarleysur varskógvari, sum sær USA sum tann stóra Satan, og sum ikki leggur í, um hann setur lívið hjá fólki í v... |
Snowden and Assange do, however, have in common that they both pay a high price for sounding the alarm. | BLARK_translated | Snowden og Assange hava tó tað í felag, at teir báðir gjalda ein høgan prís fyri at rópa varskó. |
They will never get a normal life back. They are forced to hide for the rest of their lives, and if the USA catches them, they can receive life imprisonment, says Heini í Skorini. | BLARK_translated | Teir fáa ongantíð eitt vanligt lív aftur. Teir noyðast at fjala seg restina av lívinum, og fær USA fatur á teimum, kunnu teir fáa lívlanga fongsulsrevsing, sigur Heini í Skorini. |
Also in our area there are several examples of whistleblowers who have paid a high price. | BLARK_translated | Eisini á okkara leiðum eru fleiri dømi um, at varskógvarar hava goldið ein høgan prís. |
Former Danish intelligence officer Frank Grevil received a four-month prison sentence for breaching confidentiality when he revealed that the Danish government's justification for going to war against Iraq was flawed. | BLARK_translated | Fyrrverandi danski fregnartænastumaðurin Frank Grevil fekk fýra mánaðir langa fongsulsrevsing fyri brot á tagnarskylduna, tá hann avdúkaði, at grundarlagið hjá donsku stjórnini fyri at fara í kríggj móti Irak var skeivt. |
And the Danish officer Anders Koustrup Kærgaard had to pay daily fines for 6 months because he refused to say who had given him video recordings of Iraqi soldiers under Danish command who were beating civilians. | BLARK_translated | Og danski herovastin Anders Koustrup Kærgaard mátti gjalda dagbøtur í 6 mánaðir, tí hann ikki vildi siga, hvør hevði givið honum sjónbandaupptøkur av irakiskum hermonnum undir danskari leiðslu, ið bukaðu sivilfólk. |
Some whistleblowers also have entirely different intentions with the disclosures than to strengthen democracy. | BLARK_translated | Summir varskógvarar hava eisini heilt aðrar ætlanir við avdúkingunum enn at styrkja fólkaræðið. |
Some leak information because they want to take revenge on someone. The book “Den hemmelige socialdemokrat”, which a pseudonymous Danish social democrat published, is an example of this. The book mostly contains gossip about well-known social democrats, and it doesn’t change anything, says Heini í Skorini. | BLARK_translated | Summi leka upplýsingar, tí tey vilja hevna seg inn á onkran. Bókin „Den hemmelige socialdemokrat“, sum ein dulnevndur danskur sosialdemokratur gav út, er eitt dømi um hetta. Bókin inniheldur mest slatur um kendar sosialdemokratar, og hon flytur einki, sigur Heini í Skorini. |
There are also examples in the Faroe Islands of public employees having suffered consequences for being too outspoken about sensitive matters. This is shown, among other things, by a survey conducted by two political scientists in 2007. | BLARK_translated | Eisini í Føroyum eru dømir um, at tað hevur fingið avleiðingar fyri almenn starvsfólk, at tey hava verið ov opinskárað um eym mál. Tað vísir m.a. ein kanning, ið tveir stjórnmálafrøðingar gjørdu í 2007. |
But it is important that people with insight dare to come forward with what they know. Therefore we should establish some overarching rules that protect the rights of those who raise the alarm. This can, among other things, be done by imposing on public employees a duty to report when they become aware of something ill... | BLARK_translated | Men tað hevur stóran týdning, at fólk við innliti tora at koma fram við tí, tey vita. Tí eiga vit at fáa nakrar yvirskipaðar reglur, ið tryggja rættindini hjá teimum, ið rópa varskó. Tað kann m.a. gerast við at áleggja almennum starvsfólki eina skyldu at siga frá, tá tey fáa kunnleika um okkurt ólógligt, sigur Heini í ... |
When the then-editor published the first article about the minister of finance’s customs case, it was a plan several years old that finally became reality. Sveinur Tróndarson had known about the case since he himself, as an auditor, had made an inspection visit to the minister’s business more than twenty years earlier.... | BLARK_translated | Tá táverandi redaktørurin á legði fyrstu greinina um tollmálið hjá landsstýris- manninum í fíggjarmálum út, var tað ein fleiri ára gomul ætlan, ið endiliga gjørdist veru- leiki. Sveinur Tróndarson hevði vitað um málið, síðani hann sjálvur sum grannskoðari var á eftirlitsvitjan á virkinum hjá landsstýrismanninum fyri me... |
Years passed, but Sveinur Tróndarson did not forget the old customs duty case of Jørgen Niclasen. He resigned as auditor. | BLARK_translated | Árini gingu, men Sveinur Tróndarson gloymdi ikki gamla tollmálið hjá Jørgen Niclasen. Hann gavst sum grannskoðari |
and instead went to work as a reporter at Sosialurin. There he got a colleague to request access to the customs case. | BLARK_translated | og fór í staðin at arbeiða sum tíðindamaður á Sosialinum. Har fekk hann ein starvsfelaga at biðja um innlit í tollmálið. |
I was fully aware that I had a duty of confidentiality as an auditor, and therefore I did not want to write about it myself. But I felt that the matter was of such great importance that it should be made public, he says. | BLARK_translated | Eg var fullgreiður yvir, at eg hevði tagnarskyldu sum grannskoðari, og tí vildi eg ikki sjálvur skriva um tað. Men eg helt, at málið hevði so stóran týdning, at tað átti at koma fram alment, sigur hann. |
In 2008 Sveinur Tróndarson again tried to get the matter underway. At that time he was employed at Dimmalætting, and there he also encountered | BLARK_translated | Í 2008 royndi Sveinur Tróndarson aftur at fáa hol á málið. Tá starvaðist hann á Dimmalætting, og eisini har fekk |
He asked a colleague to apply for access. But she also did not receive any document released. | BLARK_translated | hann ein starvsfelaga at søkja um innlit. Men heldur ikki hon fekk nakað skjal útflýggjað. |
We didn’t want to go public with the story without having some documents, so I closed the case again then, he says. | BLARK_translated | Vit vildu ikki fara út við søguni, uttan at vit høvdu nøkur skjøl, og tí slepti eg aftur málinum tá, sigur hann. |
In January last year Dimmalætting made yet another attempt to gain insight into the old customs case. At first the request was again refused, but in December it finally succeeded in getting three documents released. By then Dimmalætting had gone to press, and Sveinur Tróndarson was then its editor, making it the first ... | BLARK_translated | Í januar í fjør gjørdi Dimmalætting enn eina roynd at fáa innlit í gamla tollmálið. Fyrst varð umbønin aftur noktað, men í desember eydnaðist tað umsíður at fáa trý skjøl útflýggjað. Tá var Dimmalætting farin á heysin, og Sveinur Tróndarson var tá redaktørur á, sum tí gjørdist fyrsti miðilin at bera søguna um ótollaðu ... |
at the government minister, the material that the media have used as a basis for accusing him of customs fraud was obtained under circumstances that could be subject to criminal liability. | BLARK_translated | hjá landsstýrismanninum er, at tilfar, ið miðlarnir hava brúkt sum grundarlag fyri at skuldseta hann fyri tollsvik, er útvegað undir revsiverdum viðurskiftum. |
Sveinur Tróndarson has today no problems from having broken his confidentiality obligation. | BLARK_translated | Sveinur Tróndarson hevur í dag ongar trupulleikar av, at hann hevur brotið tagnarskyldu sína. |
Confidentiality is confidentiality, and it must be maintained. But in this case it is a matter so important that the public has a right to know it, and then the duty of confidentiality must give way, he says. | BLARK_translated | Tagnarskylda er tagnarskylda, og hon skal haldast. Men í hesum føri er talan um eitt so týðandi mál, at almenningurin hevur krav uppá at kenna tað, og so má tagnarskyldan víkja, sigur hann. |
Although more than 20 years have passed since Jørgen Niclasen sold untaxed goods, Sveinur Tróndarson believes that it still matters to have the issue clarified. | BLARK_translated | Hóast meira enn 20 ár eru liðin, síðani Jørgen Niclasen seldi ótollaðar vørur, so heldur Sveinur Tróndarson, at tað enn hevur týdning at fáa málið lýst. |
Sveinur Tróndarson is not surprised that Jørgen Niclasen is still the Minister of Finance. | BLARK_translated | Sveinur Tróndarson er ikki bilsin um, at Jørgen Niclasen enn er landsstýrismaður í fíggjarmálum. |
