- This is complicated. Where do we draw the line between legal and illegal gathering of information. PST's task is to find those who cross this line, says PST information director Martin Bernsen to Aftenposten.
According to PST the 19 nations with intelligence personnel in Norway have various interests.
- Some are interested in Norwegian technology, others are interestedd in Norwegian security policy and military installations, while some nations are interested in all of it, Bernsen says.
In addition there are also some nations which are carrying out surveillance of refugees, in order to monitor their own citizens who are now in Norway.
