Reviews
All proposed legislation that concern business must be submitted to the Swedish Better Regulation Council. An impact assessment must accompany each proposal.
The Council does not issue Opinions on all cases that it receives, it prioritises. Various cicumstances determine whether an Opinion will be issued, circumstances, such as the expected affects of a proposal on business, the specified response time and the Council´s current workload. One prerequisite for a case to be reviewed by the Council is naturally that it is encompassed by the Council´s terms of reference, it must also have been submitted to the Council. The Council does not issue Opinions on proposals for general advice or proposals that do not contain any statute text. Proposals concerning European Community legislation also lie outside the Council´s mandate.
When the Council does not issue an Opinion on a case that has been submitted, a "Secreteriat Response" is sent instead. The Administrative Director in concultation wirh the Council´s Chair determines whether a Sectreteriat Response will be issued.
