| <p>The sheer volume of government propositions tabled today — nine, spanning four departments — represents the most productive single-day legislative output of the 2025/26 parliamentary session. The propositions range from the technically dense (Prop. 2025/26:126, mandating reporting obligations for e-identification companies) to the politically consequential (Prop. 2025/26:141, a comprehensive overhaul of Sweden's weapons law).</p> | |
| <p>The new weapons law merits particular attention. Prop. 2025/26:141, prepared by the Justice Department, arrives as Sweden grapples with Europe's most acute gang violence crisis. The existing weapons legislation, a patchwork of amendments dating back decades, has long been criticised for failing to keep pace with the realities of organised crime. The new law promises a root-and-branch modernisation — one that dovetails with last week's landmark SOU on criminalising gang membership.</p> | |
| <p>Meanwhile, the Finance Department was responsible for four of today's nine propositions. Prop. 2025/26:128 targets VAT fraud — a growing concern as cross-border e-commerce erodes traditional enforcement mechanisms. Prop. 2025/26:129 addresses transparency in the beneficial ownership register, while Prop. 2025/26:116 establishes a new operational crisis management function for the financial sector. Together, these proposals sketch a government intent on fortifying the financial system's defences against both criminal exploitation and systemic risk.</p> | |
| <p>The Defence Department weighed in with Prop. 2025/26:123 on improved controls over explosive materials — a direct response to the surge in bombings linked to criminal networks. And from the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise, Prop. 2025/26:122 addresses the Swedish National Audit Office's criticism of the government's climate policy evaluation framework, conceding — at least implicitly — that Sweden's climate governance architecture needs reinforcement.</p> | |
| <h2>Pulso parlamentario</h2> | |
| <p>The Tax Committee (SkU) was today's most active parliamentary organ, publishing two reports that together address the integrity of Sweden's financial borders. Committee report SkU19 deals with controls on cash movements at Sweden's internal borders — a measure that gains urgency as the Schengen area debates post-pandemic border management. SkU10, on future data protection frameworks for the Tax Agency, Customs, and the Enforcement Authority, tackles the perennial tension between effective tax enforcement and privacy rights.</p> | |
| <p>These reports follow a productive stretch for the Riksdag's committee system. Since 10 February, eight committees have published reports spanning trade policy, animal welfare, parental leave reform, housing rights, transport, and education. The spring session's legislative conveyor belt is operating at full capacity, with floor votes on several of these reports expected in the coming days.</p> | |
| <p>El volumen de proposiciones gubernamentales presentadas hoy — nueve, que abarcan cuatro ministerios — representa la producción legislativa en un solo día más intensa de la sesión parlamentaria 2025/26. Las proposiciones van desde lo técnicamente complejo (Prop. 2025/26:126, que impone obligaciones de información a las empresas de identificación electrónica) hasta lo políticamente decisivo (Prop. 2025/26:141, una reforma integral de la ley de armas de Suecia).</p> | |
| <p>La nueva ley de armas merece una atención particular. La Prop. 2025/26:141, preparada por el Ministerio de Justicia, llega en un momento en que Suecia se enfrenta a la crisis de violencia de bandas más aguda de Europa. La legislación vigente sobre armas, un mosaico de enmiendas que se remonta a varias décadas, lleva mucho tiempo siendo criticada por no seguir el ritmo de la realidad del crimen organizado. La nueva ley promete una modernización de raíz y rama, que además se alinea con el reciente e importante dictamen SOU sobre la criminalización de la pertenencia a bandas.</p> | |
| <p>Mientras tanto, el Ministerio de Finanzas fue responsable de cuatro de las nueve proposiciones de hoy. La Prop. 2025/26:128 se dirige contra el fraude del IVA, una preocupación creciente a medida que el comercio electrónico transfronterizo erosiona los mecanismos tradicionales de control. La Prop. 2025/26:129 aborda la transparencia en el registro de titulares reales, mientras que la Prop. 2025/26:116 establece una nueva función operativa de gestión de crisis para el sector financiero. En conjunto, estas propuestas dibujan a un gobierno decidido a reforzar las defensas del sistema financiero frente tanto a la explotación criminal como al riesgo sistémico.</p> | |
| <p>El Ministerio de Defensa intervino con la Prop. 2025/26:123 sobre el refuerzo de los controles de materiales explosivos, una respuesta directa al aumento de atentados con bombas vinculados a redes criminales. Y desde el Ministerio de Clima y Empresa, la Prop. 2025/26:122 responde a las críticas del Tribunal de Cuentas sueco (Riksrevisionen) sobre el marco de evaluación de la política climática del gobierno, reconociendo — aunque sea de forma implícita — que la arquitectura de gobernanza climática de Suecia necesita reforzarse.</p> | |
| <h2>Pulso parlamentario</h2> | |
| <p>La Comisión de Impuestos (SkU) fue hoy el órgano parlamentario más activo, al publicar dos informes que, en conjunto, se ocupan de la integridad de las fronteras financieras de Suecia. El informe de comisión SkU19 trata sobre los controles de movimientos de efectivo en las fronteras internas de Suecia, una medida que cobra urgencia mientras el espacio Schengen debate la gestión fronteriza en la era pospandemia. SkU10, sobre los futuros marcos de protección de datos para la Agencia Tributaria, la Aduana y la Autoridad de Ejecución, aborda la tensión permanente entre una recaudación fiscal eficaz y el derecho a la privacidad.</p> | |
| <p>Estos informes se suman a un período especialmente productivo para el sistema de comisiones del Riksdag. Desde el 10 de febrero, ocho comisiones han publicado informes que abarcan la política comercial, el bienestar animal, la reforma del permiso parental, los derechos de vivienda, el transporte y la educación. La cinta transportadora legislativa de la sesión de primavera funciona a plena capacidad, y se esperan votaciones en el pleno sobre varios de estos informes en los próximos días.</p> |

| <p>היקף הצעות החוק הממשלתיות שהונחו היום — תשע הצעות, המשתרעות על פני ארבע מחלקות — מייצג את תפוקת החקיקה היומית הגבוהה ביותר במושב הפרלמנטרי 2025/26. ההצעות נעות בין מהלכים טכניים ומורכבים (Prop. 2025/26:126, המחייבת חובות דיווח לחברות המספקות שירותי זיהוי אלקטרוני) לבין מהלכים פוליטיים מרחיקי לכת (Prop. 2025/26:141, רפורמה מקיפה בחוק הנשק השוודי).</p> | |
| <p>חוק הנשק החדש ראוי לתשומת לב מיוחדת. Prop. 2025/26:141, שהוכנה במשרד המשפטים, מגיעה בשעה ששוודיה מתמודדת עם אחת ממשברי אלימות הכנופיות החריפים ביותר באירופה. החקיקה הקיימת בתחום הנשק, טלאי על גבי טלאי של תיקונים שנערמו לאורך עשורים, הותקפה זה מכבר בטענה שאינה מדביקה את קצב המציאות של פשיעה מאורגנת. החוק החדש מבטיח מודרניזציה יסודית מן השורש — כזו המשתלבת עם מסמך ה-SOU ההיסטורי מהשבוע שעבר בנושא הפללת חברות בכנופיות.</p> | |
| <p>במקביל, משרד האוצר נשא באחריות לארבע מתוך תשע ההצעות שהונחו היום. Prop. 2025/26:128 מכוונת להונאות מע"מ — דאגה הולכת וגוברת לנוכח מסחר אלקטרוני חוצה גבולות, השוחק את מנגנוני האכיפה המסורתיים. Prop. 2025/26:129 עוסקת בשקיפות במרשם בעלי השליטה, בעוד Prop. 2025/26:116 מקימה פונקציית ניהול משברי חירום אופרטיבית חדשה עבור המגזר הפיננסי. במצטבר, ההצעות הללו מציירות תמונה של ממשלה השואפת לחזק את קווי ההגנה של המערכת הפיננסית הן מפני ניצול פלילי והן מפני סיכונים מערכתיים.</p> | |
| <p>משרד ההגנה תרם באמצעות Prop. 2025/26:123, העוסקת בשיפור הפיקוח על חומרי נפץ — תגובה ישירה לעלייה בגל מקרי ההפצצות והמטענים המיוחסים לרשתות פשיעה. ומצד משרד האקלים והעסקים, Prop. 2025/26:122 מטפלת בביקורת של משרד המבקר הלאומי השוודי על מסגרת ההערכה של מדיניות האקלים הממשלתית, ומודה — לפחות במרומז — כי ארכיטקטורת הממשל האקלימי של שוודיה זקוקה לחיזוק.</p> | |
| <h2>דופק פרלמנטרי</h2> | |
| <p>ועדת המסים (SkU) הייתה היום הגוף הפרלמנטרי הפעיל ביותר, ופרסמה שני דוחות העוסקים יחדיו בשלמותם של "הגבולות הפיננסיים" של שוודיה. דוח הוועדה SkU19 מתמקד בפיקוח על תנועות מזומן בגבולות הפנימיים של שוודיה — צעד שהופך דחוף יותר ככל שמתקיים בשטח שנגן דיון מחודש על ניהול גבולות בעידן שאחרי המגפה. SkU10, העוסק במסגרת הגנת המידע העתידית לרשות המיסים, לרשות המכס ולרשות האכיפה, נדרש למתח הקבוע בין אכיפה אפקטיבית של דיני המס לבין שמירה על הזכות לפרטיות.</p> | |
| <p>דוחות אלה מצטרפים לתקופה פורה במיוחד עבור מערכת הוועדות של הריקסדאג. מאז 10 בפברואר פרסמו שמונה ועדות דוחות העוסקים במדיניות סחר, ברווחת בעלי חיים, ברפורמה בחופשת הורים, בזכויות דיור, בתחבורה ובחינוך. מסוע החקיקה של מושב האביב פועל במלוא הקצב, והצבעות במליאה על כמה מהדוחות הללו צפויות בימים הקרובים.</p> |

| <p>De pure hoeveelheid regeringsvoorstellen die vandaag zijn ingediend — negen, verspreid over vier ministeries — vormt de meest productieve wetgevingsdag van de parlementaire zitting 2025/26 tot nu toe. De voorstellen variëren van technisch zeer complex (Prop. 2025/26:126, dat rapportageverplichtingen oplegt aan aanbieders van e-identificatie) tot politiek hoogst gevoelig (Prop. 2025/26:141, een alomvattende herziening van de Zweedse wapenwet).</p> | |
| <p>De nieuwe wapenwet verdient bijzondere aandacht. Prop. 2025/26:141, voorbereid door het ministerie van Justitie, komt op tafel terwijl Zweden kampt met de ernstigste bendegeweldcrisis van Europa. De bestaande wapenwetgeving, een lappendeken van amendementen die decennia teruggaat, wordt al lang bekritiseerd omdat zij niet meer aansluit bij de realiteit van de georganiseerde misdaad. De nieuwe wet belooft een grondige modernisering vanaf de wortels — één die naadloos aansluit bij het baanbrekende SOU-rapport van vorige week over strafbaarstelling van lidmaatschap van criminele bendes.</p> | |
| <p>Ondertussen was het ministerie van Financiën verantwoordelijk voor vier van de negen voorstellen van vandaag. Prop. 2025/26:128 richt zich op btw-fraude — een groeiende zorg nu grensoverschrijdende e-commerce de traditionele handhavingsmechanismen uitholt. Prop. 2025/26:129 pakt de transparantie in het register van uiteindelijk belanghebbenden aan, terwijl Prop. 2025/26:116 een nieuwe operationele crisisbeheersingsfunctie voor de financiële sector in het leven roept. Gezamenlijk schetsen deze voorstellen een regering die vastbesloten is de verdedigingslinies van het financiële systeem te versterken tegen zowel crimineel misbruik als systeemrisico.</p> | |
| <p>Het ministerie van Defensie leverde een bijdrage met Prop. 2025/26:123 over betere controle op explosieven — een directe reactie op de toename van bomaanslagen die aan criminele netwerken worden gelinkt. En van het ministerie van Klimaat en Ondernemerschap komt Prop. 2025/26:122, dat ingaat op de kritiek van de Zweedse Nationale Rekenkamer op het evaluatiekader van het regeringsbeleid voor klimaat. Daarmee erkent de regering — al dan niet impliciet — dat de Zweedse klimaatgovernancestructuur versterking nodig heeft.</p> | |
| <h2>Parlementaire polsslag</h2> | |
| <p>De Belastingcommissie (SkU) was vandaag het meest actieve parlementaire orgaan en publiceerde twee rapporten die samen de integriteit van de financiële grenzen van Zweden adresseren. Commissierapport SkU19 gaat over controles op de verplaatsing van contant geld aan de Zweedse binnengrenzen — een maatregel die aan urgentie wint nu binnen de Schengenruimte het grensbeheer in de post-pandemische periode wordt heroverwogen. SkU10, over toekomstige kaders voor gegevensbescherming bij de Belastingdienst, de Douane en de Zweedse deurwaardersdienst, gaat in op de eeuwige spanning tussen effectieve belastinginning en het recht op privacy.</p> | |
| <p>Deze rapporten volgen op een productieve periode voor het commissiestelsel van de Riksdag. Sinds 10 februari hebben acht commissies rapporten gepubliceerd over onder meer handelsbeleid, dierenwelzijn, hervorming van het ouderschapsverlof, woonrechten, vervoer en onderwijs. De wetgevende lopende band van de voorjaarszitting draait op volle toeren, en in de komende dagen worden plenaire stemmingen over meerdere van deze rapporten verwacht.</p> |

| <p>Det rene omfang af de regeringsforslag, der blev fremlagt i dag — ni styk, fordelt på fire departementer — udgør den mest produktive lovgivningsdag i hele riksdagsåret 2025/26. Forslagene spænder fra det teknisk tunge (Prop. 2025/26:126, der pålægger rapporteringspligter for selskaber inden for e-identifikation) til det politisk skelsættende (Prop. 2025/26:141, en omfattende reform af Sveriges våbenlovgivning).</p> | |
| <p>Den nye våbenlov fortjener særlig opmærksomhed. Prop. 2025/26:141, udarbejdet af Justitiedepartementet, kommer på et tidspunkt, hvor Sverige kæmper med Europas mest akutte bandekriminalitetskrise. Den gældende våbenlovgivning, et kludetæppe af ændringer, der går flere årtier tilbage, er længe blevet kritiseret for ikke at følge med virkeligheden i den organiserede kriminalitet. Den nye lov lover en gennemgribende modernisering — som samtidigt kobler sig til sidste uges skelsættende SOU om kriminalisering af bandemedlemskab.</p> | |
| <p>Samtidig stod Finansdepartementet bag fire af dagens ni lovforslag. Prop. 2025/26:128 retter sig mod momssvindel — et voksende problem i takt med, at grænseoverskridende e-handel udhuler de traditionelle kontrolmekanismer. Prop. 2025/26:129 handler om åbenhed i registret over reelle ejere, mens Prop. 2025/26:116 opretter en ny operativ krisehåndteringsfunktion for den finansielle sektor. Tilsammen tegner disse forslag billedet af en regering, der vil styrke det finansielle systems forsvar mod både kriminel udnyttelse og systemiske risici.</p> | |
| <p>Forsvarsdepartementet bidrog med Prop. 2025/26:123 om skærpede kontrolforanstaltninger for eksplosive stoffer — en direkte reaktion på stigningen i sprængninger med tilknytning til kriminelle netværk. Og fra Klimat- och näringsdepartementet kommer Prop. 2025/26:122, der adresserer Riksrevisionens kritik af regeringens ramme for evaluering af klimapolitikken og i det mindste implicit erkender, at Sveriges klimapolitiske styringsarkitektur kræver styrkelse.</p> | |

| <p>Skatteudvalget (SkU) var i dag Riksdagens mest aktive organ og offentliggjorde to betænkninger, som tilsammen handler om integriteten ved Sveriges finansielle grænser. Udvalgsbetænkning SkU19 omhandler kontrol med kontantbevægelser ved Sveriges indre grænser — en foranstaltning, der får øget aktualitet, efterhånden som Schengen-området diskuterer grænseforvaltning i kølvandet på pandemien. SkU10, om fremtidige databeskyttelsesrammer for Skatteverket, Tullverket og Kronofogden, tager fat på den tilbagevendende spænding mellem effektiv skatteopkrævning og beskyttelse af privatliv.</p> | |
| <p>Disse betænkninger følger efter en produktiv periode for Riksdagens udvalgssystem. Siden den 10. februar har otte udvalg offentliggjort betænkninger, der spænder over handelspolitik, dyrevelfærd, reform af forældreorlov, boligreformer, transport og uddannelse. Forårsperiodens lovgivningsmæssige samlebånd kører på fuld kraft, og afstemninger i plenarsalen om flere af disse betænkninger forventes i de kommende dage.</p> |

| <p>The sheer volume of government propositions tabled today — nine, spanning four departments — represents the most productive single-day legislative output of the 2025/26 parliamentary session. The propositions range from the technically dense (Prop. 2025/26:126, mandating reporting obligations for e-identification companies) to the politically consequential (Prop. 2025/26:141, a comprehensive overhaul of Sweden's weapons law).</p> | |
| <p>The new weapons law merits particular attention. Prop. 2025/26:141, prepared by the Justice Department, arrives as Sweden grapples with Europe's most acute gang violence crisis. The existing weapons legislation, a patchwork of amendments dating back decades, has long been criticised for failing to keep pace with the realities of organised crime. The new law promises a root-and-branch modernisation — one that dovetails with last week's landmark SOU on criminalising gang membership.</p> | |
| <p>Meanwhile, the Finance Department was responsible for four of today's nine propositions. Prop. 2025/26:128 targets VAT fraud — a growing concern as cross-border e-commerce erodes traditional enforcement mechanisms. Prop. 2025/26:129 addresses transparency in the beneficial ownership register, while Prop. 2025/26:116 establishes a new operational crisis management function for the financial sector. Together, these proposals sketch a government intent on fortifying the financial system's defences against both criminal exploitation and systemic risk.</p> | |
| <p>The Defence Department weighed in with Prop. 2025/26:123 on improved controls over explosive materials — a direct response to the surge in bombings linked to criminal networks. And from the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise, Prop. 2025/26:122 addresses the Swedish National Audit Office's criticism of the government's climate policy evaluation framework, conceding — at least implicitly — that Sweden's climate governance architecture needs reinforcement.</p> | |
| <h2>Parlamentin syke</h2> | |
| <p>The Tax Committee (SkU) was today's most active parliamentary organ, publishing two reports that together address the integrity of Sweden's financial borders. Committee report SkU19 deals with controls on cash movements at Sweden's internal borders — a measure that gains urgency as the Schengen area debates post-pandemic border management. SkU10, on future data protection frameworks for the Tax Agency, Customs, and the Enforcement Authority, tackles the perennial tension between effective tax enforcement and privacy rights.</p> | |
| <p>These reports follow a productive stretch for the Riksdag's committee system. Since 10 February, eight committees have published reports spanning trade policy, animal welfare, parental leave reform, housing rights, transport, and education. The spring session's legislative conveyor belt is operating at full capacity, with floor votes on several of these reports expected in the coming days.</p> | |
| <p>Hallituksen tänään antamien esitysten määrä — yhdeksän, neljän eri ministeriön vastuulla — merkitsee koko valtiopäiväkauden 2025/26 tuottavinta yksittäistä lainsäädäntöpäivää. Esitykset vaihtelevat teknisesti raskassoutuisista (prop. 2025/26:126, joka säätää raportointivelvoitteista e-tunnistautumispalvelujen tarjoajille) poliittisesti erittäin merkittäviin (prop. 2025/26:141, Ruotsin aselain laaja kokonaisuudistus).</p> | |
| <p>Uusi aselaki ansaitsee erityishuomion. Oikeusministeriön valmistelema prop. 2025/26:141 tulee valtiopäiville samaan aikaan, kun Ruotsi kamppailee Euroopan vakavimman jengiväkivaltakriisin kanssa. Nykyinen aselainsäädäntö, vuosikymmenten kuluessa paikatuista pykälistä koostuva tilkkutäkki, on pitkään saanut kritiikkiä siitä, ettei se pysy järjestäytyneen rikollisuuden realiteettien perässä. Uusi laki lupaa perusteellisen modernisoinnin juurista lähtien — ja kytkeytyy tiiviisti viime viikon merkittävään SOU-selvitykseen, joka koski jengijäsenyyden kriminalisointia.</p> | |
| <p>Samaan aikaan valtiovarainministeriö vastasi neljästä päivän yhdeksästä esityksestä. Prop. 2025/26:128 kohdistuu arvonlisäveropetoksiin — kasvavaan ongelmaan, kun rajat ylittävä verkkokauppa murentaa perinteisiä valvontamekanismeja. Prop. 2025/26:129 käsittelee läpinäkyvyyttä tosiasiallista omistajaa koskevassa rekisterissä, kun taas prop. 2025/26:116 luo uuden operatiivisen kriisinhallintatoiminnon finanssisektorille. Yhdessä nämä ehdotukset piirtävät kuvan hallituksesta, joka pyrkii vahvistamaan rahoitusjärjestelmän puolustusta sekä rikollista hyväksikäyttöä että systeemisiä riskejä vastaan.</p> | |
| <p>Puolustusministeriö toi kokonaisuuteen oman panoksensa prop. 2025/26:123:n kautta, joka koskee räjähdysaineiden valvonnan tehostamista — suora vastaus rikollisverkostoihin kytkeytyneiden pommi-iskujen kasvuun. Ilmasto- ja elinkeinoministeriö puolestaan vastaa prop. 2025/26:122:ssa valtiontalouden tarkastusviraston (Riksrevisionen) esittämään kritiikkiin hallituksen ilmastopolitiikan arviointikehikosta ja myöntää — ainakin epäsuorasti — että Ruotsin ilmastohallinnan rakenteita on vahvistettava.</p> | |
| <h2>Parlamentin syke</h2> | |
| <p>Verovaliokunta (SkU) oli tänään valtiopäivien aktiivisin elin ja julkaisi kaksi kertomusta, jotka yhdessä käsittelevät Ruotsin taloudellisten rajojen koskemattomuutta. Valiokuntakertomus SkU19 käsittelee käteisvarojen liikkeiden valvontaa Ruotsin sisärajoilla — toimenpide, jonka kiireellisyys korostuu, kun Schengen-alueella käydään keskustelua pandemian jälkeisestä rajahallinnasta. SkU10 taas koskee tulevia tietosuojakehyksiä Verovirastolle (Skatteverket), Tullille ja Ulosottoviranomaiselle, ja pureutuu ikiaikaiseen jännitteeseen tehokkaan verovalvonnan ja yksityisyydensuojan välillä.</p> | |
| <p>Nämä kertomukset jatkavat valiokuntajärjestelmän vilkasta jaksoa. 10. helmikuuta alkaen kahdeksan valiokuntaa on julkaissut kertomuksia, jotka kattavat muun muassa kauppapolitiikan, eläinsuojelun, vanhempainvapaan uudistuksen, asumisoikeudet, liikenteen ja koulutuksen. Kevätistuntokauden lainsäädäntölinjasto käy täydellä teholla, ja useista näistä kertomuksista odotetaan täysistuntokäsittelyä ja äänestyksiä lähipäivinä.</p> |

| <p>本日提出された政府提案は、4 つの省庁にまたがる 9 本に上り、2025/26 会期における 1 日当たりの立法生産量としては最も多いものとなりました。これらの提案は、技術的に高度な内容(電子身分証明(e-identification)事業者に報告義務を課す Prop. 2025/26:126)から、政治的影響の大きいもの(スウェーデンの銃器法を包括的に見直す Prop. 2025/26:141)まで幅広くカバーしています。</p> | |
| <p>なかでも新たな銃器法は特筆に値します。法務省が準備した Prop. 2025/26:141 は、スウェーデンが欧州で最も深刻なギャング暴力の危機に直面する中で提出されました。現行の銃器法制は、数十年にわたり継ぎ足しの改正を重ねてきたパッチワークであり、組織犯罪の実態に追いついていないと長らく批判されてきました。新法は、ギャング参加の犯罪化に関する先週の画期的な国家調査報告書(SOU)とも歩調を合わせつつ、制度を根本から近代化することを約束するものです。</p> | |
| <p>一方、財務省は本日の 9 本の提案のうち 4 本を担いました。Prop. 2025/26:128 は付加価値税(VAT)詐欺を標的としており、越境電子商取引の拡大により従来の執行メカニズムが弱体化する中で、懸念が高まっている分野です。Prop. 2025/26:129 は実質的支配者名簿(beneficial ownership register)の透明性を扱い、Prop. 2025/26:116 は金融部門向けの新たな危機管理オペレーション機能の創設を定めています。これらを総合すると、政府が犯罪による悪用とシステミック・リスクの双方から金融システムを守る防衛線を強化しようとしている姿勢が浮かび上がります。</p> | |
| <p>国防省からは、爆発物の管理強化を図る Prop. 2025/26:123 が提出されました。これは、犯罪ネットワークに関連する爆破事件の急増に対する直接的な対応です。さらに気候・企業省(Ministry of Climate and Enterprise)からの Prop. 2025/26:122 は、政府の気候政策評価枠組みに対するスウェーデン会計検査院の批判に応えるものであり、少なくとも暗黙のうちに、スウェーデンの気候ガバナンス構造にテコ入れが必要であることを認める内容となっています。</p> | |
| <h2>議会の鼓動</h2> | |
| <p>本日最も活発に動いた議会機関は税務委員会(SkU)であり、スウェーデンの「金融的な国境」の健全性を扱う 2 本の報告書を公表しました。委員会報告 SkU19 は、パンデミック後の国境管理をめぐるシェンゲン圏での議論が続く中、スウェーデンの国内国境における現金の持ち込み・持ち出し管理を扱っており、その重要性は一段と高まっています。税務庁・税関・強制執行庁における将来のデータ保護枠組みを扱う SkU10 は、効果的な税務執行とプライバシー権との間の恒常的な緊張関係に正面から取り組むものです。</p> | |
| <p>これらの報告書は、最近の委員会活動の充実ぶりを象徴するものです。2 月 10 日以降、8 つの委員会が通商政策、動物福祉、育児休業改革、住居の権利、交通、教育など多岐にわたる分野で報告書を公表してきました。春期会期の立法コンベヤーはフル稼働しており、これらの報告のいくつかについては今後数日以内に本会議での採決が予定されています。</p> |

| <p>Det rene omfanget av regjeringsproposisjoner som ble lagt frem i dag — ni stykker, fordelt på fire departementer — utgjør den mest produktive lovgivningsdagen så langt i riksdagsåret 2025/26. Proposisjonene spenner fra det teknisk komplekse (Prop. 2025/26:126, som innfører rapporteringsplikt for e-identifikasjonsselskaper) til det politisk skjellsettende (Prop. 2025/26:141, en omfattende gjennomgang og modernisering av Sveriges våpenlovgivning).</p> | |
| <p>Den nye våpenloven fortjener særskilt oppmerksomhet. Prop. 2025/26:141, utarbeidet av Justitiedepartementet, kommer samtidig som Sverige kjemper med Europas mest akutte gjengvoldskrise. Dagens våpenlovgivning, et lappverk av endringer som strekker seg flere tiår tilbake, har lenge blitt kritisert for ikke å holde tritt med virkeligheten i den organiserte kriminaliteten. Den nye loven lover en gjennomgripende modernisering — som samtidig spiller sammen med forrige ukes viktige SOU om å kriminalisere gjengmedlemskap.</p> | |
| <p>Samtidig sto Finansdepartementet bak fire av dagens ni proposisjoner. Prop. 2025/26:128 retter seg mot momssvindel — et økende problem ettersom grensekryssende netthandel undergraver tradisjonelle kontrollmekanismer. Prop. 2025/26:129 tar for seg åpenhet i registeret over reelle rettighetshavere, mens Prop. 2025/26:116 etablerer en ny operativ krisehåndteringsfunksjon for finanssektoren. Samlet tegner disse forslagene bildet av en regjering som vil styrke finanssystemets forsvar mot både kriminell utnyttelse og systemrisiko.</p> | |
| <p>Forsvarsdepartementet bidro med Prop. 2025/26:123 om bedre kontroll med eksplosive varer — en direkte respons på økningen i sprengningshendelser knyttet til kriminelle nettverk. Og fra Klima- og næringsdepartementet kommer Prop. 2025/26:122, som svarer på Riksrevisjonens kritikk av regjeringens rammeverk for evaluering av klimapolitikken, og som — i det minste implisitt — erkjenner at Sveriges klimastyringsarkitektur trenger å styrkes.</p> | |
| <h2>Parlamentarisk puls</h2> | |
| <p>Skatteutvalget (SkU) var dagens mest aktive parlamentariske organ og publiserte to innstillinger som samlet sett handler om integriteten til Sveriges finansielle grenser. Komitéinnstilling SkU19 gjelder kontroll av kontantbevegelser ved Sveriges indre grenser — et tiltak som blir stadig viktigere ettersom Schengen-området diskuterer grenseforvaltning i kjølvannet av pandemien. SkU10, om fremtidige personvernrammer for Skatteverket, Tullverket og Kronofogden, tar opp den evige spenningen mellom effektiv skatteinnkreving og retten til privatliv.</p> | |
| <p>Disse innstillingene følger etter en produktiv periode for Riksdagens komitésystem. Siden 10. februar har åtte komiteer lagt frem innstillinger som spenner over handelspolitikk, dyrevelferd, reform av foreldrepermisjon, boligreformer, transport og utdanning. Vårsesjonens lovgivningssamlebånd går for fullt, og plenumavstemninger over flere av disse innstillingene er ventet i løpet av de nærmeste dagene.</p> |

| <p>今天政府提交的法案数量之多——共九项,涵盖四个部会——构成了 2025/26 议会年度迄今为止单日立法产出最高的一天。这些法案从技术上高度复杂(例如 2025/26:126 号政府提案,要求电子身份识别服务提供商履行新的报告义务),到政治上分量极重(例如 2025/26:141 号提案,对瑞典武器法进行全面改革),范围广泛。</p> | |
| <p>新的武器法尤其值得关注。由司法部准备的 2025/26:141 号政府提案,在瑞典正面临全欧洲最严重的帮派暴力危机之际提交。现行武器立法是在数十年间不断拼补形成的一块“补丁毯”,长期以来被批评无法跟上有组织犯罪现实的变化。这部新法承诺进行自上而下的系统性现代化改革——并与上周关于将帮派成员资格刑事定性的里程碑式调查报告(SOU)相衔接。</p> | |
| <p>与此同时,财政部对今天九项提案中的四项负有主责。2025/26:128 号提案瞄准的是增值税欺诈——在跨境电子商务不断侵蚀传统执法机制的背景下,这已成为日益严峻的问题。2025/26:129 号提案涉及实益所有权登记册的透明度,而 2025/26:116 号提案则为金融部门设立一项新的运营层面危机管理职能。这些提案合在一起,勾勒出一届政府试图加强金融体系防御能力、以应对刑事利用和系统性风险双重挑战的图景。</p> | |
| <p>国防部则通过 2025/26:123 号提案发声,提出要强化对爆炸物品的监管——这直接回应了与犯罪网络相关的爆炸袭击事件激增的局面。而来自气候与企业部的 2025/26:122 号提案,则是对国家审计署(Riksrevisionen)此前批评政府气候政策评估框架的回应,在某种程度上也默许了这样一个事实:瑞典现有的气候治理架构确实需要得到加强。</p> | |
| <h2>议会脉搏</h2> | |
| <p>税务委员会(SkU)是今天最为活跃的议会机构,发布了两份报告,合在一起聚焦于维护瑞典“金融边界”的完整性。委员会报告 SkU19 涉及在瑞典内部边界对现金流动进行管控——在申根区围绕后疫情时期边境管理展开辩论之际,这项措施显得愈发紧迫。另一份报告 SkU10,则着眼于税务局、海关总署和执行局未来的数据保护框架,直面高效税务执法与隐私权之间长期存在的张力。</p> | |
| <p>这些报告延续了近期议会委员会体系的高产态势。自 2 月 10 日以来,已有八个委员会发布了涵盖贸易政策、动物福利、育儿假改革、住房权利、交通运输以及教育等领域的报告。春季会议期的“立法传送带”正满负荷运转,对其中若干报告的全会表决预计将在未来几天内进行。</p> |
