number of people considering our country's size). This was however not
enough to convince politicians to stop the directive. Government
partner parties of the Labour Party; the Socialistic Left Party and
Centre Party disagrees and will vote against the implementation of the

Parties have the majority combined. This is, indeed, a very odd
constellation.

would recommend using encryption and routing when using the internet in
Norway.

there are some exceptions, including for drug crimes. It means that
in theory the sale of cannabis lead to use of stored traffic data.
Anne Marie Bj?rnflaten of Labor states that it should be "necessity
and proportionality" that the court may disclose the data.
* PST will still be able to get data in preventive work, without
anything concrete.
* There need be no suspicion against a specific person to collect your
