 On 28 October 1999 , Minister of Transport Dag Jostein <unk> asked the directors of the three involved parties , Osmund Ueland of NSB , Sverre Quale of the inspectorate and Steinar Killi of the National Rail Administration , to meet at his office the following day if the issue was not resolved . The following day , the inspectorate gave permission for the trains to be taken into use , despite noting a series of non @-@ <unk> with safety regulations : the inspectorate lacked a list of the train 's deviations from the safety regulations ; lack of a system to automatically monitor the speed of the trains , particularly when automatic train stop was disconnected ; lack of safety training for the crew ; lack of an evacuation analysis ; and lack of control of the marking of safety equipment . Most of the deviations were to be followed up within two weeks . Quale stated that the deviated issues were of a nature which had not previously been applied to trains and that it was therefore not critical .
