That's one controversial interpretation that claims collecting citizen data doesn't count if you don't really mean it.

They are legally obligated to monitor all communications from and to a foreign country originated by a foreigner in Norway. The dragnet approach, monitoring all in order to filter down, seems reasonable as long as they only store the filtered data and not full stream.

Why do you think they only store the filtered data?

They don't, and they've been lobbying for changing the law. They've said so on record (that they grab and store everything, and deletion is based on intelligence value, not following laws governing surveillance and storage of personal (citizen) data).
