I can now put in a bit more info:

Finnair B752 flying west - east and SAS B737 north - south both at FL360 above a mountainous region on Swedish - Norwegian border, Swedish side. Both a/c initiated evasive action most likely triggered by TCAS RA, ca 4NM before the tracks would intersect. At the intersection, the aircraft were separated vertically owing to a rapid climb by the SAS crew and also had some lateral offset. Nevertheless, as the actual allowed radar separation is 5NM, loss of separation did in all probability occur and I'm looking forward to any detail Avro might want to share with us.. Mind you, this comes not even a month after the ANS published a report into a previous case of loss of separation between a BAW and a Lufty (?) west of Stockholm...all in all, it seems an interesting yet minor incident, one of which occur possibly daily around the globe.

And consequences, plenty of evidence emerging daily in the AGW thread in JB, it is for you there to grab and study and reconcile yourself with.
