Background & Purpose

The EU has introduced a regulation to create a safer digital environment for consumers and businesses, requiring national rules to handle how local authorities oversee these laws.

Proposals & Debate

The government proposed establishing national provisions that determine how Swedish authorities should manage and enforce the tasks set out by the EU regulation on digital services.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament voted yes to the government's proposal, ensuring that Swedish laws fully align with the EU framework for digital services.

In Practice

  • Reglerna hjälper till att skydda minderåriga och konsumenter bättre på internet.
