Implementation

The plan requires that the all-too-weak anti-discrimination legislation be strengthened, that the whole of society be made accessible and that a disability perspective exist within all policy areas. Where power has already been transferred to the EU, the party actively works for proposals that make the union more social. Full implementation of the directive's requirements, instead of a watered-down law text, strengthens protection for persons with disabilities and is therefore supported.

• sharpened anti-discrimination legislationdecisive»den alltför svaga diskrimineringslagstiftningen stärkas« (party programme ↗)“the all-too-weak anti-discrimination legislation be strengthened”
• disability perspective everywhere»Ett tydligt funktionshinderperspektiv ska finnas med inom alla« (party programme ↗)“A clear disability perspective shall exist in all”
• right to participate in society»På samma sätt ska du som lever med funktionsnedsättning kunna lita på att du får det stöd du behöver, och på att din rätt att delta i samhället på det sätt du vill inte ständigt ifrågasätts och försvåras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Just as you who are elderly can rely on having the healthcare and care you need and your right to participate in society is not constantly questioned and made difficult, you who live with a disability shall be able to rely on getting the support you need, and your right to participate in society in the way you want is not constantly questioned and made difficult.”
• social progress in EU rules»makt redan förts över till EU verkar Vänsterpartiet aktivt för förslag« (party programme ↗)“power has already been transferred to the EU, the Left Party actively works for proposals”

The plan's commitment is that people with disabilities should be able to live their lives like others and that everyone, regardless of functional ability, should have full freedom of movement and equal opportunity to participate. A legal text that fully implements the accessibility directive strengthens precisely that protection, while incomplete implementation weakens it. The directive's technical implementation is not addressed in the documents, so the conclusion is derived.

• full freedom of movement and participationdecisive»funktionsförmåga, har rätt till arbete, eget boende, full rörelsefrihet och ett aktivt liv.« (party programme ↗)“functional ability, has the right to work, own housing, full freedom of movement and an active life.”
• equal living conditions»Personer med funktionsnedsättning ska kunna leva sitt liv som andra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“People with disabilities should be able to live their lives like others.”
• equal opportunity to participate»Vi socialdemokrater vill att alla ska ha lika förutsättningar och lika möjlighet till delaktighet« (party programme ↗)“We social democrats want everyone to have equal conditions and equal opportunity to participate”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan establishes that lack of accessibility in itself is a form of discrimination and wants to strengthen legislation against discrimination. An implementation that does not fully meet the directive's requirements thus leaves in place the very barriers the plan wants to remove. Sharpening the statutory text so it meets the directive's articles and appendices is therefore in line with the plan.

• inaccessibility is discriminationdecisive»Bristande tillgänglighet är i sig en typ av« (party programme ↗)“Lack of accessibility is in itself a type of”
• stronger discrimination legislation»stärka lagstiftningen mot diskriminering och se över rätten till rättshjälp i diskrimineringsfall.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen legislation against discrimination and review the right to legal aid in discrimination cases.”

The plan establishes that accessibility is crucial for persons with disabilities and that the goal is a society with full accessibility where no one is disadvantaged. Complete implementation of the directive's requirements strengthens that protection. However, the plan's crucial commitment to regulatory simplification speaks against further detailed requirements, which makes the position uncertain.

• full accessibilitydecisive»Tillgängligheten är avgörande för människor med olika funktionsnedsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“Accessibility is crucial for people with different disabilities.”
• support for disabilities»Du som har en funktionsnedsättning ska få det stöd du behöver, och staten ska ta ett större ansvar för att LSS fungerar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“If you have a disability you should get the support you need, and the state should take greater responsibility for making the LSS (Disability Services Act) work.”
• no one should be disadvantaged»Vi måste fortsätta arbetet för ett Sverige där ingen missgynnas på grund av kön, härkomst eller funktionsnedsättning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We must continue working for a Sweden where no one is disadvantaged because of gender, origin or disability”
• regulatory simplification»Rensa upp i regelträsket för entreprenörer, stora som små.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Clear up the regulatory thicket for entrepreneurs, large and small.”

The plan requires an accessible Sweden where obstacles are systematically cleared away and makes the freedom mission for people with disabilities a matter that permeates all policy. An implementation that fully complies with the accessibility directive's requirements provides stronger protection and is therefore in line with the plan, as is the plan's requirement for harmonised regulatory frameworks on the internal market. The plan does not address the legislative technique.

• an accessible Swedendecisive»Sverige ska vara ett tillgängligt land. Den offentliga miljön, inklusive kollektivtrafiken, ska vara tillgänglig.« (party programme ↗)“Sweden shall be an accessible country. The public environment, including public transport, shall be accessible.”
• freedom mission regardless of functional ability»funktionsnedsättning är en del av det liberala frihetsuppdraget och genomsyrar alla politiska frågor.« (party programme ↗)“disability is part of the liberal freedom mission and permeates all political issues.”

The plan requires that public institutions and information systems be designed with high accessibility requirements and explicitly says that the legislative instrument is justified to improve the situation for people with disabilities. That the law text fully implements the directive's requirements therefore follows from the plan, with the UN convention as a guiding star. Compensatory measures are described as necessary, not optional.

• high accessibility requirementsdecisive»informationssystem utformas med höga krav på tillgänglighet« (party programme ↗)“information systems be designed with high accessibility requirements”
• legislation for disability rights»Det är befogat att använda lagstiftningsinstrumentet för att underlätta situationen för personer« (party programme ↗)“It is justified to use the legislative instrument to improve the situation for people”

The plan establishes that overimplementation of EU decisions must be prevented and that directives as a general rule should be implemented at minimum level. The counter-proposal instead wants to write in every article and attachment of the directive into the law text and thereby place more requirements on market actors than the Swedish assessment has made. This goes against the plan's commitment to reduced regulatory burden for companies.

• EU rules at minimum leveldecisive»som huvudregel ska EU-direktiv genomföras på miniminivå« (2022 manifesto ↗)“as a general rule EU directives should be implemented at minimum level”
• no overimplementation»motverka överimplementering i Sverige av EU-beslut« (2022 manifesto ↗)“prevent overimplementation in Sweden of EU decisions”
• reduced regulatory burden»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove a third of companies' administration costs and a third of regulatory red tape”

The plan states that citizens with physical or cognitive limitations must not be restricted in their access to society or working life and have the right to a full standard of living. Full implementation of the directive's requirements strengthens this protection, which speaks for the counter-proposal. The plan's demands for cost-effective rules and relief for small businesses pull in the opposite direction at the same time, which is why the support is weak.

• full standard of livingdecisive»Alla medborgare ska ha rätt till ett gott liv och en fullgod levnadsstandard, även om man är född med eller råkar ut för något som gjort att man har fysiska eller kognitiva begränsningar eller variationer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All citizens have the right to a good life and a full standard of living, even if one is born with or has experienced something that has caused one to have physical or cognitive limitations or variations.”
• accessibility to social life»Medborgare som på grund av omständigheter bortom egen kontroll möter andra utmaningar i vardagen ska inte begränsas i sin tillgång till samhälls- eller arbetslivet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Citizens who due to circumstances beyond their control face other challenges in everyday life shall not be limited in their access to society or working life.”
• cost-effective rules»Nya regler ska vara kostnadseffektiva och befintliga regler behöver ses över.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“New rules should be cost-effective and existing rules need to be reviewed.”
