Review of the Land Survey Authority

The counter-proposal wants other actors to be able to take over parts of the land surveying authority's areas of responsibility. The plan establishes that socially important activities that have been privatised shall be taken back and that market solutions have undermined the common good, and that incorporation shall not be used to prepare for privatisations. Although the plan shares the goal of increased housing construction, it weighs against state tasks being transferred to other actors.

• take back privatised activitiesdecisive»Det är hög tid att agera och ta tillbaka den samhällsviktiga verksamhet och infrastruktur som har privatiserats« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is high time to act and take back the socially important activities and infrastructure that have been privatised”
• criticism of market solutions»marknadslösningar har urholkat vår gemensamma välfärd samtidigt som en allt större del av våra skattemedel går till administration och kontroll« (2022 manifesto ↗)“market solutions have undermined our common welfare while an ever larger part of our tax revenues goes to administration and control”
• no prepared privatisations»bolagisering får inte användas för att anpassa den offentliga sektorn till det privata näringslivet eller förbereda privatiseringar« (party programme ↗)“incorporation shall not be used to adapt the public sector to private business or prepare privatisations”
• societal planning of construction»Med större kontroll och planering från samhällets sida, kan byggandet både öka i takt och bli miljösmart och lagra kol istället för att släppa ut koldioxid« (2022 manifesto ↗)“With greater control and planning from society's side, construction can both increase in pace and become environmentally sound and store carbon instead of releasing carbon dioxide”

The plan's guiding star is to test in every situation which form produces the best result with respect to justice and efficiency, and housing provision is a societal responsibility where overcrowding must be combated. Shorter processing times and reasonable fees for property formation support building throughout the country. However, letting other actors take over parts of the authority's tasks conflicts with the plan's view of what is not suitable for market logic.

• test the most effective formdecisive»måste vara att i varje situation pröva vilken form som ger det bästa resultatet med hänsyn« (party programme ↗)“must be to test in every situation which form produces the best result with respect”
• continued housing construction»Vi ska fortsätta att bygga hyresrätter som vanligt folk har råd att bo i.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall continue to build rental apartments that ordinary people can afford to live in.”
• state service throughout the country»Staten ska finnas närvarande i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state must be present throughout the country.”

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 is decentralist and wants to give municipalities increased responsibility and influence, and it wants to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy through active regulatory simplification work. A review that simplifies surveying authority activities, makes it easier for municipalities to establish their own authorities and shortens processing times for housing construction goes in that direction. The plan does not address the Surveying Authority, so the conclusion is derived.

• increased municipal responsibilitydecisive»kommuner ges ett ökat ansvar och inflytande« (party programme ↗)“municipalities are given increased responsibility and influence”
• regulatory simplification»Onödig byråkrati ska undvikas genom ett aktivt« (party programme ↗)“Unnecessary bureaucracy should be avoided through active”
• more housing»bygga fler klimatsmarta hyresrätter med rimliga hyror« (2022 manifesto ↗)“build more climate-smart rental apartments with reasonable rents”

The plan requires that lead times for administration and official procedures be shortened and that surplus regulations and bureaucracy be cleared away, which is the core of the counter-proposal's demand for modernisation of land surveying activities. That municipalities should more easily be able to establish their own authorities and cooperate follows from the plan's demands for decentralisation and decision-making close to those affected. The party programme also affirms that public activity is opened to competition, which supports the demand that other actors can take over parts of the tasks.

• shortened administration timesdecisive»Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Lead times for administration and official procedures in courts and authorities must be shortened and access to representatives improved.”
• decentralisation»Decentralisera mera. Människor ska få bestämma mer själva, och politiska beslut ska fattas nära dem som berörs.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Decentralise more. People shall get to decide more themselves, and political decisions shall be made close to those affected.”
• regulatory simplification for the countryside»Dyra, krångliga och innovationshämmande regelverk ligger som en våt filt över delar av landsbygden. Vi ska rensa upp bland överflödiga regler och byråkrati.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Costly, cumbersome and innovation-hampering regulations lie like a wet blanket over parts of the countryside. We shall clear away surplus regulations and bureaucracy.”
• competition is supported»Offentlig verksamhet kan med fördel konkurrensutsättas« (party programme ↗)“Public activity can advantageously be opened to competition”

The plan wants to shorten processes and simplify rules regarding building because too few homes are built, and wants that publicly conducted activities normally can be challenged by other actors. The state should also facilitate councils that want to cooperate for better service. The counter-proposal's demands for modernization of land surveying activities, more actors, municipal cooperation and reasonable fees follow from these commitments.

• simplify and shorten processesdecisive»Vi vill införa en stimulans för att spara ihop till den första insatsen, slopa det förhöjda amorteringskravet, korta överklagandeprocesserna och fortsätta förenkla byggreglerna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to introduce an incentive to save up for the first down payment, abolish the heightened amortization requirement, shorten appeals processes and continue to simplify building regulations.”
• challenger rights against public operation»I alla kommuner och regioner ska det normalt finnas möjlighet att utmana« (party programme ↗)“In all councils and regions there shall normally be opportunity to challenge”

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 red tape and unnecessary rules shall not stand in the way of the municipality's responsibility or individuals' opportunity to develop their housing, that bureaucracy shall be counteracted and that public activity to the greatest possible extent shall be based on absence of monopoly. Together with strong municipal self-government, the plan supports a broad review, shorter processing times and greater municipal scope.

• red tape shall not hinder housingdecisive»Krångel och onödiga regler får inte stå i vägen för en kommun att leva upp till sitt ansvar eller för enskildas möjligheter att utveckla sitt boende.« (party programme ↗)“Red tape and unnecessary rules shall not stand in the way for a municipality to live up to its responsibility or for individuals' opportunities to develop their housing.”
• counteract bureaucracy»Byråkrati och krångliga regler ska motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“Bureaucracy and complicated rules shall be counteracted.”
• absence of monopoly»Den offentliga sektorns verksamhetsformer ska så långt möjligt bygga på frånvaro av monopol.« (party programme ↗)“The public sector's operational forms shall to the greatest possible extent be based on absence of monopoly.”
• strong municipal self-government»Den kommunala självstyrelsen ska vara stark och tydligt reglerad i grundlagen.« (party programme ↗)“Municipal self-government shall be strong and clearly regulated in the constitution.”

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's decisive commitment is that public agencies' processing times shall be shortened through an upper time limit and that red tape and detailed planning shall be simplified to get more homes in a country with housing shortage in 207 municipalities. The plan also allows municipalities to choose different paths based on their conditions. It supports the demand for a broad review of land surveying with shorter processing times, more municipal room and more reasonable surveying fees.

• shorten processing timesdecisive»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shorten public agencies' processing times through an upper time limit”
• simplified planning rules»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Replace detailed plans with simpler building plans”
• housing shortage requires action»Det är bostadsbrist i 207 av landets 290 kommuner.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is a housing shortage in 207 of the country's 290 municipalities.”
• municipal self-determination»tillåta att olika regioner och kommuner väljer« (party programme ↗)“allow different regions and municipalities to choose”

The plan wants to facilitate housing construction by simplifying and expediting decision-making processes, reviewing regulations and facilitating financing of housing in the countryside. The counter-proposal's requirement for shorter processing times, modernized regulations, increased municipal scope and lower procedure fees for low-value rural properties are applications of these commitments. The plan addresses the committee's reasoning, which concerns precisely more efficient handling and appropriate fees.

• faster decision-making processesdecisive»Sverigedemokraterna vill underlätta bostadsbyggande genom att förenkla och snabba på beslutsprocesser och se över de omfattande regelverk och krav som styr bostadsbyggande.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to facilitate housing construction by simplifying and expediting decision-making processes and reviewing the extensive regulations and requirements that govern housing construction.”
