  • Snabbprotokoll 2006/07:61, Torsdagen Den 15 Februari-Kl. 12.00
    Riksdagens protokoll 2006/07:61 Torsdagen den 15 februari Protokoll Kl. 12.00 – 19.02 2006/07:61 1 § Ledighet Förste vice talmannen meddelade att Marie Engström (v) ansökt om ledighet under tiden den 15 februari–11 mars. Kammaren biföll denna ansökan. Förste vice talmannen anmälde att Anne-Marie Wallouch (v) inträtt som ersättare för Marie Engström. 2 § Aktuell debatt: A-kassan Aktuell debatt: A-kassan Anf. 1 JOSEFIN BRINK (v): Herr talman! För knappt två månader sedan stod vi i den här kamma- ren och debatterade försämringarna i a-kassan. Den debatten hade före- gåtts av massiva protester och hård kritik från remissinstanserna. Det fanns en stor oro, och frågetecknen var väldigt många, eftersom rege- ringen i sin iver att få loss pengar till sina skattesänkningar helt enkelt struntat i att utreda konsekvenserna av sitt förslag. När nu två månader har gått visar det sig att det kanske hade varit bra om regeringen lyssnat lite mer på kritikerna. Medlemstalet i a-kassorna har sedan vi senast stod här rasat med minst 40 000 personer netto. Jag säger minst för att siffrorna ännu inte är klara. Det handlar om personer som aktivt har hört av sig och begärt utträde ur a-kassan. Först fram i april kommer alla de som helt enkelt slutar att betala att börja synas i statistiken. De allra flesta a-kassor är eniga om att det är då som vi verk- ligen kommer att se hur stort medlemsraset blir. Man kan alltså konstatera att inkomsttryggheten för löntagarna lik- som finansieringen av själva försäkringen redan har börjat naggas i kan- ten efter bara en och en halv månad med den nya försämrade a-kassan.

    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.

  • Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN High-Level Meeting Check Against Delivery
    2010 Speech 21 September 2010 Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN high-level meeting Check against delivery Mr President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Related Press Release: Gunilla (Sweden aligns itself fully with the statement delivered by the European Union) Carlsson to New York for The Millennium Development Goals represent a common agenda to enhance and coordinate our efforts for UN high-level meeting poverty eradication and sustainable global development. The MDGs are about improving the lives of the world's poorest people; everyone's right to take an active part in shaping their own future and that of their families, communities and countries. They are about enabling people to move out of poverty and into lives of freedom and opportunities. Governments that pursue democratic development hand-in-hand with human rights stand a better chance of achieving the MDGs. The overall trend is positive. Infant and child mortality have dropped and more girls attend school. Evidence shows that the MDGs can be met if there is sufficient political will. However, despite progress we still face challenges. Millions of people suffer from hunger and lack access to safe drinking water. Climate change affects our living conditions. The poorest suffer the most. Africa is particularly hard-hit. Mr President, Sweden is deeply concerned that some MDGs are lagging behind. This is especially true of MDG5 on maternal health. It is unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of women die every year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. The causes of maternal mortality are well known and, in most cases, preventable.
