Background & Purpose
To make electronic road toll systems work smoothly across Europe, countries need to share relevant administrative information under common European directives.
Proposals & Debate
The Swedish government proposed amendments to the law on electronic toll systems, granting toll collectors the legal right to request customer and vehicle information from payment providers to ease cooperation with tax authorities.
The Decision
The Swedish parliament approved the government's legislative proposal without changes, updating the national rules for electronic road tolls.
