In recent years, Russia's intelligence service in accordance with the new information needs of the government intensified efforts to illegal collection of information about the German companies, - said Burhard Even in an interview in Die Welt. According to the department of the Federal Counterintelligence Service to protect the constitution, spies primarily interested in information about alternative and renewable energy sources and measures to improve their effectiveness. In addition, the scope of attention of Russian intelligence into energy interests in Europe, plans to diversify energy supply and economic situation in Germany as a whole.

Last month, Interior Minister Wolfgang Shoyble also said, introducing the report of the Ministry of Security for the year 2008, that Russia and China strengthen espionage and internet-attacks against German companies.

Last year the German court sentenced to jail a former employee of aerospace group European aeronautic defence and space company (EADS) for the sale of Russian exploration of civil helicopters.

According to Even, terms of espionage continues to grow, and therefore security should care to all companies without exception.

This problem is not just big companies. In recent times, spies are more interested in small and medium-sized companies. We therefore call on the leadership of the enterprises to strengthen the protection against industrial espionage, - he said.
