Fears misuse of Swedish
The head of the so-called Lund Commission, Ketil Lund, fears the misuse in Norway of intelligence information gathered by Swedish security services. In Sweden it is permitted to monitor telecommunications from Norway.
A major portion of the Norwegian telecommunication traffic to other countries is routed via a telecom centre Sweden, where monitoring is permitted.
- Such information may then be used as a bartering medium on the international intelligence market, Lund says.
The Lund Commission was appointed in order to investigate allegations of illegal surveillance of Norwegian citizens after the Second World War.
Kjetil Lund is together with the International Commission of Jurists attemting to take the Swedish state to court over the monitoring issue.
