Follow-up

The plan does not address monitoring the cost to companies and industries of legislation. The closest principle is that social and democratic considerations shall take precedence over capital interests and that the insufficiently strong discrimination legislation shall be strengthened. Conditioning or compensating the implementation of accessibility requirements based on market actors' costs therefore lies outside the plan's line, which puts disability rights first.

• social considerations before capital interestsdecisive»demokratiska och ekologiska hänsyn ska gå före kapitalintressen.« (party programme ↗)“democratic and ecological considerations shall take precedence over capital interests.”
• strengthened discrimination legislation»den alltför svaga diskrimineringslagstiftningen stärkas« (party programme ↗)“the insufficiently strong discrimination legislation is strengthened”

The documents do not address monitoring the costs of accessibility legislation. The closest commitments are to strengthen long-term conditions for business and to make business rules clear, while consumer perspective should carry weight. Monitoring the economic consequences and if necessary supporting those affected points in that direction, but the basis is weak.

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 does not address monitoring of the accessibility directive, but it wants to give businesses and households stable and long-term rules, avoid unnecessary bureaucracy and especially facilitate small businesses. Monitoring the economic consequences with targeted support for those affected sits close to these commitments. The plan simultaneously presupposes that accessibility is not hollowed out, since lack of accessibility is counted as discrimination.

The plan makes good conditions and low regulatory burden for small businesses a main priority and requires that the red tape is sorted out. To follow up what economic consequences the new law will have for consumers, business and industries, and if necessary support those affected, sits in that line. The plan sees small business conditions as decisive for jobs.

• good conditions for small business»Goda villkor för entreprenörer, egenföretagare och små företag är därför avgörande för att skapa nya jobb.« (party programme ↗)“Good conditions for entrepreneurs, self-employed and small businesses are therefore decisive for creating new jobs.”

The plan requires that public decisions are analysed from a small-business perspective and that the regulatory burden for small businesses decreases through efforts at both national and European levels. A follow-up of the economic consequences for consumers, businesses and sectors, with support for those affected, follows from this principle. The plan does not address the Accessibility Directive specifically, so the conclusion is derived.

The plan requires that incoming laws are tested from a small business perspective and that the rules the state sets for business are long-term. A follow-up of what accessibility requirements cost consumers, business and industries is therefore consequential, as is the plan's requirement for cost follow-up as a political task. Active and well-informed consumers also presupposes that the consequences are known.

The plan commits to sharply reducing companies' administrative costs and red tape and states that bureaucracy hinders innovation and growth, while EU rules as a main rule shall be implemented at minimum level. A follow-up of what economic consequences the accessibility directive will have for companies, sectors and consumers is in that line. Follow-up of this specific bill is not explicitly addressed.

The plan requires that new regulations be cost-effective, that unnecessary regulations where the cost to companies does not match social benefit be removed, and that clear results be demanded for every public investment. A follow-up of the economic consequences for consumers, businesses, and industries, with support for those affected, thus directly follows from these commitments. The plan places particular emphasis on the administrative burden on small businesses.

• cost-effective regulationsdecisive»Nya regler ska vara kostnadseffektiva och befintliga regler behöver ses över.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“New regulations shall be cost-effective and existing regulations need to be reviewed.”
• weigh cost against benefit»För att få fler och växande företag är det viktigt att ta bort onödiga regler där kostnaderna för företagen inte motsvarar nyttan för samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To get more and growing businesses, it is important to remove unnecessary regulations where the costs to companies do not match society's benefit.”
