Background & Purpose

In a modern society, balancing public access to information (transparency) with protecting personal data (integrity) is crucial, especially with increasing digitalization and data exchange.

Proposals & Debate

Opposition parties put forward 25 proposals covering various aspects of transparency, secrecy, and personal integrity. These included suggestions for better information sharing between public bodies, stricter rules on trading personal data, and new regulations for digital marketing to protect individuals' privacy.

The Decision

The Swedish Parliament decided to reject all 25 proposals from the opposition. This means no new laws or changes will be introduced based on these specific suggestions, as the government is already working on related issues.

In Practice

  • No new rules will be implemented regarding information exchange between authorities and municipalities based on these proposals.
  • Regulations concerning the trade of personal data will remain as they are, without immediate changes from these specific motions.
  • Existing rules for personal integrity and digital marketing will continue to apply.
  • The government's ongoing review of transparency, secrecy, and integrity matters will proceed independently of these rejected proposals.
