Regulation and control of commercial traffic

The plan identifies wage dumping and economic crime as central threats and wants to close the space that exists to exploit people in vulnerable situations. The counter-proposal's requirements for stricter and more targeted supervision against illegal transport operations, violations of driving and rest times, and unpaid taxes target precisely that order. The plan also calls for greater public oversight to combat fraud with taxes and employment.

• stop wage dumping in the sectordecisive»Lönedumpning, ekonomisk brottslighet och utnyttjande är centrala hot idag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Wage dumping, economic crime and exploitation are central threats today.”
• oversight against fraud in companies»Vi vill gå mot en större samhällelig insyn i företag där det behövs för att stävja fusk med till exempel skatter och anställningar.« (party programme ↗)“We want to work towards greater public oversight in companies where it is needed to combat fraud with, for example, taxes and employment.”
• stop exploitation of labour»Vi vill täppa till det utrymme som finns idag att exploatera människors utsatta ställning.« (party programme ↗)“We want to close the space that exists today to exploit people's vulnerable position.”
• healthy competition without wage pressure»Det gör också att en sektor eller ett enskilt företag inte kan driva en verksamhet som inte bär sig genom att tvinga ner löner och villkor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“This also means that a sector or a single company cannot operate a business that does not pay for itself by forcing down wages and conditions.”

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 election manifesto requires action against workplace crime and that fair competition shall be preserved, which is exactly what the counter-proposal wants to achieve with stricter and more targeted control of professional traffic. The party programme also establishes that crime in the labor market and organized crime shall be combated forcefully. Haulage companies without professional traffic permits that violate driving and rest times and cabotage rules fall directly under these commitments.

• fair competition in working lifedecisive»Krafttag mot arbetslivskriminaliteten. Arbetslivs kriminalitet ska inte finnas på svensk arbetsmarknad och offentliga arbetsgivare och upphandlare ska vara föredömen i att verka för en sund konkurrens.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Action against workplace crime. Workplace crime shall not exist on the Swedish labor market and public employers and purchasers shall be models in striving for fair competition.”
• combated workplace crime»Bekämpande av kriminalitet på arbetsmarknaden.« (party programme ↗)“Combat of crime in the labor market.”
• no competitive advantages through crime»Det ska aldrig löna sig att begå brott eller skaffa sig konkurrensfördelar genom att försumma de anställdas rätt till en trygg arbetsmiljö.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It shall never be profitable to commit crimes or gain competitive advantages by neglecting the employees' right to a safe work environment.”
• forceful crime fighting»Kraftfullt bekämpande av organiserad kriminell verksamhet.« (party programme ↗)“Forceful combat of organized criminal activity.”

The plan lacks a dedicated section on control of commercial traffic, but carries two commitments that point in the counter-proposal's direction: effective supervision shall prevent companies from gaining competitive advantages through rule breaches, and exploitation of foreign workers shall be met with strong action. Better targeted controls against disreputable transport firms follow from these principles. The plan also wants to move cargo from road to railway and sea transport.

• supervision creates fair competitiondecisive»Tillsynen är också viktig för att skapa rättvisa mellan olika företag« (party programme ↗)“Supervision is also important to create fairness between different companies”
• strong action against exploiting employers»arbetskraft och inte respekterar svensk arbetsrätt eller gällande kollektivavtal.« (party programme ↗)“labour and do not respect Swedish labour law or applicable collective agreements.”
• secure conditions for professional drivers»Otryggheten på arbetsmarknaden har ökat.« (party programme ↗)“Insecurity in the labour market has increased.”
• sustainable cargo transport»överflyttning från landsväg till järnväg och sjöfart.« (party programme ↗)“shift from road to railway and sea transport.”

The plan demands action against crime affecting businesses and that roads become more traffic-safe for all road users, which bears the counter-proposal's demand for tightened and more targeted commercial traffic supervision. The party programme establishes that business shall have competition-neutral regulations, which speaks against hauliers competing by breaching driving and rest time rules and cabotage rules. Directing controls with technology and analysis aligns with the commitment to economise with taxpayers' money.

• action against crime against businessesdecisive»krafttag mot brott emot företag« (2022 manifesto ↗)“action against crime against businesses”
• competition-neutral regulations»näringslivet får konkurrensneutrala regelverk« (party programme ↗)“business gets competition-neutral regulations”
• traffic-safe roads»Vi vill rusta upp vägarna, göra dem mer trafiksäkra för alla trafikanter, förbättra belysningen, vägunderhållet året runt och bygga fler laddstolpar och snabbladdare i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to upgrade roads, make them more traffic-safe for all road users, improve lighting, road maintenance year-round, and build more charging stations and rapid chargers across the country.”
• efficient resource use»Politiken ska hushålla med skattebetalarnas pengar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Policy shall economise with taxpayers' money.”

The plan establishes that laws and rules shall protect equal competition and that more needs to be done against system misuse for undeclared work. Directing oversight towards hub points and carriers that are in the risk zone using technology and flow analysis serves precisely this, and the programme wants to quickly take advantage of technology development's opportunities. Controls of commercial traffic are however not explicitly addressed in the plan.

• equal competitiondecisive»Lagar och regler ska slå vakt om äganderätt, konkurrens på lika villkor, rättssäkerhet och att enskilda människor har likvärdiga och goda möjligheter att nå sina livsmål.« (party programme ↗)“Laws and rules shall protect property rights, equal competition, rule of law and that individual people have equivalent and good opportunities to reach their life goals.”
• counter unserious actors»Mer behöver göras för att systemet för arbetskraftsinvandring inte ska missbrukas för till exempel svartjobb.« (party programme ↗)“More needs to be done to ensure the system for labour migration is not misused for undeclared work for example.”
• utilize technology's opportunities»Politikens uppgift måste vara att snabbt undanröja hinder för att underlätta för företag och människor att ta vara på de möjligheter som den tekniska utvecklingen skapar.« (party programme ↗)“Policy's task must be to quickly remove obstacles to facilitate companies and people to take advantage of the opportunities that technical development creates.”

The plan requires that all crimes are effectively prosecuted and sets a zero vision for deaths and serious injuries in traffic, which speaks for sharper and more targeted oversight of heavy commercial transport. It also opposes unfair competition, which is precisely what illegal transport operations and cabotage offences constitute. The counter-proposal's demand for more precise controls therefore follows from the plan's principles.

• all crimes shall be prosecuteddecisive»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras,« (party programme ↗)“All crimes shall be effectively and without exception prosecuted,”
• zero vision in traffic»Det är viktigt med en nollvision för dödsfall och svåra skador i trafiken.« (party programme ↗)“It is important to have a zero vision for deaths and serious injuries in traffic.”
• oppose unfair competition»motverkar oligopol, monopol och illojal konkurrens« (party programme ↗)“opposes oligopoly, monopoly and unfair competition”
• EU cooperation against crime»Det krävs ett nära samarbete på EU-nivå för att motverka allvarlig gränsöverskridande« (party programme ↗)“Close cooperation at EU level is required to oppose serious transnational”

The plan gives the rule of law a clear responsibility to protect entrepreneurs against crime with full force and wants to strengthen the authorities' powers against cross-border crime. The counter-proposal's demand for sharper and more targeted oversight against illegal trucking and unlawful cabotage is in line with this and with the plan's view of fair competition. Directing controls with precision also matches the plan's ambition that government resources are used effectively.

• powerful control powersdecisive»Stärka tullen med mer resurser och kraftfulla befogenheter för att stoppa stöldligor och vapensmugglare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen customs with more resources and powerful authority to stop theft gangs and weapons smugglers”
• the rule of law protects entrepreneurs»Det är ett grundläggande politiskt ansvar att rättsstaten finns där med sin fulla kraft när företagare blir utsatta för brott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is a fundamental political responsibility that the rule of law is present with its full force when entrepreneurs are subjected to crime.”
• map crimes against businesses»Ge Brå i uppdrag att kartlägga brott mot företag« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) the assignment to map crimes against businesses”
• the state shall promote competition»skydda penningvärdet, främja konkurrensen« (party programme ↗)“protect the value of money, promote competition”

The plan wishes to combat crime affecting entrepreneurs and crack down on the shadow economy with more controls, and improve the justice system's cooperation and tools to detect and prosecute criminals. The counter-proposal demands precisely more targeted controls against illegal haulage and cabotage violations through technology and analysis of transport flows. This aligns with the plan's demands for zero tolerance even against minor crimes and fair competition for Swedish industries.

• crime against entrepreneursdecisive»Bekämpa brottslighet som drabbar företagare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Combat crime that affects entrepreneurs”
• better inter-agency cooperation»Rättsväsendets samverkan mellan myndigheter och verktyg för att upptäcka och lagföra kriminella ska förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The justice system's cooperation between authorities and tools to detect and prosecute criminals shall be improved.”
• more controls against illegal operations»Bekämpa skuggsamhället och illegal migration med fler kontroller och fler utvisningar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Combat the shadow economy and illegal migration with more controls and more expulsions”
• zero tolerance for crime»Införa nolltolerans mot brott så att även mindre allvarliga brott utreds och lagförs« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce zero tolerance for crime so that even less serious crimes are investigated and prosecuted”
