It was a year in which the international financial crisis held the Swedish economy in its grip. A dramatic year, which, despite vigorous measures by central banks and other authorities around the world, was characterised by the worst economic recession for many decades. There were signs of a recovery during the latter part of the year, although there was still a lot of uncertainty about the future course of development and the road ahead was lined with risks. Events continued to make great demands on the operations of the Riksbank. This did not, however, stop our endeavours to carry out all our tasks as well and as effectively as possible – to maintain a high level of confidence and live up to our vision of being “among the best”.

  • Report from the Committee on Finance
    Statement by the Committee on Finance 2011/12:FiU14 Statement on the EU Multiannual Financial Framework 2014–2020 Summary On 29 June 2011, the European Commission submitted a proposal for a new financial framework for the period 2014-2010. Negotiations on the proposal are expected to continue throughout 2012. The financial framework sets out fixed annual ceilings for expenditure and distributes expenditure among different main headings. The Commission’s proposal also contains changes relating to revenue in the EU budget, known as the EU’s “own resources”. In addition the proposals concern today’s system of budget rebates. The Committee considers it positive that the Commission’s proposal involves increases in areas that contribute to growth and have a clear European added value such as infrastructure investments and research. The Committee is also positive to the fact that certain reductions are proposed in the field of agricultural policy and cohesion policy but considers that these changes are far too modest. The Committee is, however, critical to the Commission’s proposal on several points. The Committee recommends a more stringent budget and considers that total expenditure should be frozen substantially, in contrast with the Commission’s proposal which involves an increase in expenditure by approximately 7 per cent. The proposals regarding the EU budget’s revenue mean that two new own resources will be introduced: a tax on financial transactions and a new form of value-added based charge. The proposals also mean that competence in the taxation area will be transferred from the member states to the EU through the principle of unanimity in decisions concerning taxes being replaced in part by decisions by qualified majority.

  • Statement from the Riksdag
    Committee on Foreign Affairs Statement 2013/14:UU4 Commission Work Programme 2014 Summary In this statement, the Committee on Foreign Affairs discusses the communication Commission Work Programme 2014 (COM(2013) 739. The Commission adopted the communication on 22 October 2013, and on 21 November the Chamber referred it to the Committee on Foreign Affairs for review under Chapter 10 Section 5 of the Riksdag Act. The Committee on Finance and the Committee on Justice have expressed their views on the statement. In its annual work programme, the Commission indicates the political priorities for the coming year. The 2014 Work Programme is special because there are elections to the European Parliament during the year and because the Commission’s term of office expires in November 2014. The Commission has therefore chosen to focus on the implementation of prioritised existing proposals. The Committee on Foreign Affairs notes that the Commission’s priorities are principally in line with Swedish priorities and that it is a positive feature that growth competitiveness issues are given extensive scope. The Committee on Foreign Affairs highlights the importance of safeguarding an open Europe in times of economic difficulties and emphasises that this principle should be fundamental to all initiatives and programmes the Commission works on during the remainder of its term of office. The Committee on Foreign Affairs further emphasises that it is clearly in Sweden’s interest that the euro area is strong and stable, and that the countries affected by serious economic problems are able to solve these. The Committee on Foreign Affairs concurs with the positions taken by the Committee on Finance on the Single Resolution Mechanism, the framework for recovery and resolution of banks and deposit guarantee schemes.

    2010/1 1:JuU6 Opinion of the Committee on Justice 2010/11:JuU6 Strategy for transfers of PNR data to third countries Summary In this opinion, the Committee discusses the European Commission’s communication of 21 September 2010 on a global approach to transfers of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data to third countries, COM(2010) 492. The key objective of the communication is to establish a set of principles which should form the basis of future negotiations on PNR agreements with third countries. The communication contains details of the reasons why law enforcement authorities should have controlled access to PNR data and the criteria to be applied to safeguard the right to privacy and protect the data against improper use, and the criteria to be applied to reviews, etc. The communication does not specify exact retention periods or any detailed review mechanisms. The stated principles, standards and criteria should be reflected in the negotiating guidelines to be drawn up before any negotiations, and ultimately in the agreements. The Committee welcomes the strategy and finds it a positive sign that a set of general criteria is now being defined which should form the basis of future negotiations on PNR agreements with third countries. The Committee stresses the importance of ensuring that the agreements state exactly what information is to be transferred and for what purpose it may be used. The Committee also considers that the retention periods for the data should be kept to a minimum, and stresses the importance of the restrictions imposed on transfers of information to other authorities and third countries.
