Government Earmarks SEK 1 Million for Promotion Initiatives Swedish Music, Fashion and Digital Games Are a Few Industries That Can Promote the Image of Sweden Abroad 2010 Press release 31 August 2010 Ministry for Foreign Affairs Music and fashion to put Sweden on the map - Government earmarks SEK 1 million for promotion initiatives Swedish music, fashion and digital games are a few industries that can promote the image of Sweden abroad. They are three creative industries that have a good reputation beyond our borders, and there is a great deal of interest in them. This is why the Government is now investing even more in the experience industry, especially since we have seen that activities previously conducted abroad have generated a lot of interest and received a positive response. These investments have helped to attract more tourists to Sweden and created an interest among foreign entrepreneurs in business opportunities. Our talented songwriters, designers and others involved in the experience industry abroad have helped to put Sweden on the world map. For a small country, Sweden has a strong position as an exporter of music - we are ranked fifth after other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The music business is an important part of the Swedish experience industry, which is an expanding export industry and a major growth sector. In 2009, the experience industry accounted for over 5 per cent of Sweden's GDP, and it employs 280 000 people. "We have seen that the experience industry is very important for people's image of Sweden abroad. When I'm out travelling, I often hear how people associate Sweden with Abba, Max Martin, Robyn, DICE and Odd Molly. This is why it's really important that we promote this sector, so that we can become even stronger and more talked about beyond our borders," says Minister for Trade Ewa Björling, who is responsible for promoting the image of Sweden. The Government Offices has now decided to give the Swedish Institute (SI) the task of promoting creative industries abroad and has approved SEK 1 million for 2010. SI will develop a communications strategy to promote creative industries abroad, and a special focus will be placed on areas thought to have major export potential. In its work, SI will cooperate with other relevant public bodies and organisations, such as the Swedish Trade Council. "Swedish creativity and the experience industry are at the forefront internationally and have in recent years received considerable attention in a number of areas. A coherent approach with an overarching communications strategy will not only strengthen promising future export areas, but also contribute to Sweden being seen as a creative and innovative country. The Swedish Institute - which is an expert in international communications and network-building - has a major opportunity, together with the key actors in the industry, to put Sweden and Swedish creativity on the map," says Thomas Carlhed, Acting Director-General of the Swedish Institute.

The primary purpose of the visit is to promote Swedish enterprise and trade flows between Sweden and these three countries, as well as to further extend existing points of contact. Iraq The business delegation on this occasion will be travelling to Erbil, in northern Iraq, where Sweden has opened an honorary consulate. Last year the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad was reopened and the Swedish Trade Council has also set up an office there. Swedish exports to Iraq have increased substantially over the last few years; according to new figures from Statistics Sweden, exports increased by 116 per cent in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period last year. The aim is that Iraq will once again be one of Sweden's most important markets in the Middle East, as was the case in the 1970s and 1980s. Lebanon and Algeria In both Lebanon and Iraq, the accompanying business delegation will be focusing on the Kosmopolit project. The Government has decided on special initiatives to draw on the unique expertise of Swedes with foreign backgrounds to boost foreign trade and opportunities for businesses to break into new export markets. The project identifies and highlights foreign-born entrepreneurs' knowledge of their former home countries including the business culture, language and politics. This will improve Sweden's global competitiveness, create more jobs and increase prosperity. The Minister for Trade and the business delegation will also visit Algeria. Algeria has very ambitious plans to expand its infrastructure and housing over the next few years, and Swedish enterprises ought to be in a good position to take part in many of these projects. Swedish trade with Algeria has increased dramatically in recent years. Selected points from Dr Björling's programme: - Bilateral meetings mainly with the trade and finance ministers in the different countries. In addition to bilateral trade, Dr Björling intends to raise other issues including Swedish environment and energy expertise, and CSR. - Participation in business seminars and roundtable discussions in Erbil on opportunities for Swedish enterprises in Iraq. Visits to local projects with a Swedish connection. - Speeches at the chambers of commerce in both Beirut and Algiers. - Visit to the annual trade fair in Algiers, which will include a Swedish pavilion.

Time and place Press conference A press briefing will be held on 25 May at 15.00 in the Swedish briefing room in the Council's Justus Lipsius building. For further information, please contact Monica Ohlsson or Elisabet Dahlén Jonsson; see contact information provided here. Several items concerning the EU internal market are on the agenda. "An effectively functioning internal market is of major importance to our businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. Thanks to the internal market, Swedish businesses have access to over 500 million consumers and 20 million businesses in 30 countries," says Dr Björling. One important matter to be discussed is a proposal concerning regulations on uniform CE-marking of construction products. CE-marking is intended to make construction products comparable and increase trade within Europe. "Swedish construction products are characterised by their high quality. If implemented, the proposal will make trade in construction products substantially easier and strengthen the competitiveness of companies that buy and sell Swedish construction products. The proposal, however, lacks sufficient provisions concerning the reporting of hazardous chemical substances contained in construction products. This is important for all consumers and to ensure that construction waste is managed in an environmentally and economically sound way. We will continue to work to strengthen this in upcoming negotiations." The ministers will also address the implementation of the Services Directive. Sweden implemented the Directive in December last year. "The effective implementation of the Services Directive in all the Member States will substantially ease conditions for the increasingly important trade in services within the EU and EEA areas. This is particularly important for small business operators wanting to sell and buy services across national borders. "Unfortunately the EU patent - one of the most important measures to promote innovation in Europe - is not on the agenda. The Commission had hoped to gain informal support for a proposal during the Spanish Presidency. Since it has proven impossible to agree on the language issue, the Commission has chosen not to present a proposal. It is of utmost importance that we reach a final agreement on an EU patent as soon as possible." In connection with the Council, Dr Björling will meet with the Commissioner for the Internal Market, Michel Barnier, and the Commissioner for Trade, Karel de Gucht.

The negotiations with Estonia and Slovenia have resulted, among other things, in these countries improving their legislation concerning the management of state-owned companies. As EU Member States, these countries already had legislation and policies in place that were to a great extent in harmony with the OECD standard. Israel has adopted and begun to implement a series of reforms in the areas of anti-corruption, environment, competition and intellectual property in order to pave the way for OECD membership. A special investigation has been carried out into labour market and social policy, with a focus on the situation for minority groups.

  • Why Scotland Still Needs an 'Ending Homelessness' Action Plan
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Policy Reviews 131 Delivering the Right to Housing? Why Scotland Still Needs an ‘Ending Homelessness’ Action Plan Isobel Anderson Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Stirling, Scotland, UK \ Abstract_ In 2018, the Scottish Government launched the ‘Ending Homelessness Together Action Plan’, just 6 years after the earlier ‘2012 target’ for implementation of the previous major review of homelessness policy. Scotland had introduced a modernised legislative framework for homeless- ness, with the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act of 2003, strengthening the legal rights of homeless people to assistance with housing. Using a policy analysis framework, this paper revisits the impact of the earlier legislation, identifying perceived gaps in implementation, which framed the context for further review. The paper examines the work programme of the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Action Group (HARSAG), which contributed to policy review, and outlines key components of the 2018 action plan. The analysis reflects critically on the potential for meaningful progress on ending homeless- ness over the five years from 2018-2023. Given international interest in prior homelessness policy in Scotland, this research was conducted to inform a European and wider international audience of the further ambitions to end homelessness in Scotland. The study adopted desk-based methods, drawing on published administrative data on homelessness, publicly available policy and practice documents, and the wider research evidence on homelessness. The analysis demonstrates that while the Scottish approach still compares favourably internationally, robust commitment to policy delivery, as well as monitoring of implementation and review of outcomes all remain essential to ensure policy effectiveness.

  • Konungen Och Regeringsbildningen
    KONUNGEN OCH REGERINGSBILDNINGEN Av docent ELIS H.fSTAD, Stockholm l DEBATTEN om en samlingsregering eller inte kan man ofta möta invändningen, att förordet för en dylik regering - typiskt för de borgerliga, menar man - sett dagen först sedan dessa efter socialdemokratiens segrar utestängts ifrån regeringsmakten. Samtidigt säges det, att regeringstillsättningarna i Sverige före parlamentarismens introduktion för 30 a 40 år sedan ofta voro partibetonade. Den strävan att göra regeringen objektiv, allsidigt rekryterad och balanserande samhällsklasserna, som bildar moti­ vet för rekommendationerna av en samlingsregering, skulle inte ha förnummits tidigare hos konungamakten. Det kan vara skäl att pröva dessa ganska gängse uppfattningar i ljuset av det svenska regeringssystemets historiska utveckling. Ser man problemet uteslutande från den sociala synpunkten, är det självklart att ståndsintressen och klassfördomar ända in i vår tid spelade en dominerande roll. Det dröjde långt om länge, innan en arbetare (1918), ja, t. o. m. en bonde (1905) fick träda in i konseljsalen. Att enbart fästa avseende härvid vore emellertid att anakronistiskt bortse från det väsentliga. Om man följer regeringsbildningarna under Oscar II :s och Gustav V :s tid, är det obestridligt att dessa monarker länge voro motståndare till parlamentarismen som doktrin. De ville inte av­ hända kungamakten dess grundlagsenliga rätt att »kalla och ut­ nämna» rådgivare. I sitt praktiska handlande vid regeringskriser voro de dock trots detta uppenbarligen allt annat än vänner av ensidiga eller extrema lösningar. En fortlöpande syntetisk under­ sökning av deras syftemål vid regeringsbildningarna saknas ännu, men åtskilliga ledtrådar ges. Oscar II :s första ministär var den efter Karl XV i arv fallna ämbetsmannaregeringen Adlercreutz-Bergström.

  • Sveriges Just Nu Mest Lysande Stjärna Gör Succé Igen!
    2009-08-24 08:00 CEST Sveriges just nu mest lysande stjärna gör succé igen! Sveriges just nu absolut största musikexport, Basshunter, röner extrema framgångar utomlands. Hur många svenska artister finns det som säljer över 300 000 album enbart i England? Och hur många andra svenska artister har till exempel Nya Zeeländarna ens hört talas om? Vi passar då på att nämna att Basshunter sålt tre (3!) gånger platina i Nya Zeeland... Det är svårt för oss i Sverige att förstå vidden av Basshunters oerhörda popularitet. Han är en av YouTubes absolut mest populära artister, och alla hans videor har mellan 10 och 60 miljoner tittningar. Fullständigt makalösa siffror. Nu är Basshunter tillbaka med nytt material och det med besked. Efter att ha sålt sammanlagt över 1,2 miljoner enheter i UK och med både singel och album på förstaplatsen på listorna släpper Basshunter albumet Bass Generation 30 september i Sverige och första singeln Every Morning gick till radio i förra veckan. Videon till Every Morning kan ses här: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cTIoU0czbA och rapporterna från UK är entydiga: SMASH HIT! Videon hade högre antal tittningar under sin första vecka än "Now You're Gone" på YouTube, det är Englands just nu snabbaste klättrare på TV Airplay Chart och självklart ser vi Aylar i huvudrollen tillsammans med Jonas. Denna gång befinner vi oss i ett lite varmare klimat, men videon avslutas under dramatiska former i en riktig cliffhanger... Every Morning speglar en lite mognare sida hos Basshunter. Självklart återfinner vi det välbekanta, stampande soundet men här även ett vanvettigt catchy gitarriff.

  • Die Schwedische Rockband Mando Diao Wird Das Freiluft-Areal Am Kurprark Gemeinsam Mit Dem Sinfonieorchester Aachen Am 31
    ES MACHT „BANG“ BEI DEN AACHENER KURPARK CLASSIX BY GENERALI 2021! DIE SCHWEDISCHE ROCKBAND MANDO DIAO WIRD DAS FREILUFT-AREAL AM KURPRARK GEMEINSAM MIT DEM SINFONIEORCHESTER AACHEN AM 31. AUGUST 2021 BEBEN LASSEN Gut 13 Kilometer nordwestlich, vor gut 15 Jahren: Im Rahmen des 1Live- Könisgtreffens 2005 standen zwischen Tocotronic, Max Herre, Fettes Brot und Franz Ferdinand auch fünf Musiker auf der Bühne am Herzogenrather Schulzentrum, die das Rap- und Rock-Establishment alt aussehen ließen: Mando Diao. Während im Mutterland der Popmusik, drüben in Manchester und London, noch Sorgenfalten der Ratlosigkeit die Gesichter der ehemaligen Britpop-Helden kennzeichneten, boten die Schweden dem ganzen Trübsinn die Stirn. Mit juvenilem Tatendrang und unüberhörbarem Komponistenhändchen für große Melodien, deutete die Band The Small Faces, The Kinks, The Who, die Beatles und die Stones modern. Der bis dahin alleine in Schweden messbare Erfolg ihrer hymnenartigen Refrains, wehte schließlich wie ein skandinavisches Hochdruckgebiet auch runter in den Nordwesten Europas. Für musikalischen Dauersonnenschein bei deutschen Rock- und Pop-Fans war gesorgt. Man dankte ihn Mando Dio mit einer Top-Drei- Platzierung ihres 2006 erschienenen Albums „Ode To Ochrasy“, benannt nach einem imaginären Sehnsuchtsort. Einen Gold-Award später unterstrich die Alternative Rock-Band bei den großen Festivals, Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Hurricane, Southside und sogar beim Budapester Sziget-Open ihren singulären Status. Aber es sollte noch spektakulärer kommen. Ihr fünftes Album, das den resoluten Titel „Give Me Fire!“ trug, belegte im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum umgehend die Nummer Eins der Albumcharts und wurde in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz jeweils mit Platin ausgezeichnet. Die daraus entnommene Single „Dance With Somebody“ sollte fortan zum Radiodauerbrenner und zum Erkennungszeichen von Mando Diao werden.

  • Fredrik Reinfeldt
    2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference.
