Certain vehicle inspection issues

The plan requires ambitious environmental goals monitored by sharp legislation and explicitly wants Sweden to challenge EU law when it limits space for progressive politics. To immediately tighten Swedish inspection requirements and introduce particle number measurement without waiting for a new EU directive follows from both these commitments. The plan also lifts cleaner city air as a goal in itself.

• sharp environmental legislationdecisive»miljömål som följs upp med skarp lagstiftning och praktiskt arbete.« (party programme ↗)“environmental goals monitored by sharp legislation and practical work.”
• challenge EU legislation»Vi vill att Sverige utmanar EU:s överstatliga fördrag och lagar« (party programme ↗)“We want Sweden to challenge EU's supranational treaties and laws”

• cleaner air»Renare storstadsluft, billig och fungerande tåg- och kollektivtrafik.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Cleaner metropolis air, cheap and functioning rail and public transport.”

The plan's closest commitment is a poison-free environment with clean air across Sweden and climate perspective in all decisions, which speaks for stricter environmental requirements at inspection and particulate measurement. At the same time, the plan states that matters best handled at EU level shall also be solved there, which pulls in the opposite direction when it comes to leading ahead without waiting for the directive. The substantive support carries greatest weight, but confidence is low.

• clean air and poison-free environmentdecisive»Giftfri miljö med ren luft och rent vatten i hela Sverige.« (party programme ↗)“Poison-free environment with clean air and clean water across Sweden.”
• climate perspective in all decisions»Klimatperspektiv på alla nivåer av beslut och beslutsfattande.« (party programme ↗)“Climate perspective at all levels of decision-making and decision-making.”

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 air quality standards and national targets shall reach up to WHO guidelines, thus going further than EU minimum levels, and that dangerous particles are a serious health threat. It also wants the precautionary principle applied to a greater extent. Stricter Swedish inspection requirements with particle count measurement without waiting for the EU follow from these commitments.

• air quality according to WHOdecisive»Luftkvalitetsnormer och nationella mål behöver nå upp till Världshälsoorganisationens riktlinjer för att minska utsläpp och förbättra vårt välmående.« (party programme ↗)“Air quality standards and national targets need to reach up to the World Health Organization's guidelines to reduce emissions and improve our wellbeing.”

The plan requires leadership that is determined that Sweden should go first and show the way on environmental and climate issues, and the principle is that low-set international requirements should not prevent Sweden from setting stricter requirements. To sharpen the inspection's environmental requirements and introduce particle number measurement without waiting for a new EU directive follows from this, and is supported by the commitment to clean air and that transport emissions should go.

• Sweden should go firstdecisive»Ett ledarskap som tar klimatfrågan på allvar och som är fast beslutet att Sverige ska gå före och visa vägen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Leadership that takes the climate issue seriously and is determined that Sweden should go first and show the way.”

The plan wants environmental requirements to be tightened through the EU and regulations harmonized, because the EU is the party's most important instrument in environmental work. Immediately tightening Swedish inspection regulations and introducing particle count measurement without waiting for EU revision goes against that order. The plan shares the ambition for higher environmental standards, but wants to achieve it at EU level rather than through national special rules.

• environmental regulations tightened in EUdecisive»EU-samarbetet är vårt viktigaste instrument för att driva på miljöarbetet internationellt. EU:s ambitioner måste höjas och regelverken skärpas.« (party programme ↗)“EU cooperation is our most important instrument to drive environmental work internationally. EU ambitions must be raised and regulations tightened.”
• harmonized regulations»Den inre marknaden ska utvecklas, regelverk ska harmoniseras och reformtakten för konkurrenskraft och produktivitet vara hög.« (party programme ↗)“The internal market shall be developed, regulations shall be harmonized and the reform pace for competitiveness and productivity shall be high.”
• instruments coordinated in EU»De ekonomiska styrmedlen bör i första hand samordnas på EU-nivå, till exempel genom minimiskatter.« (party programme ↗)“Economic steering instruments should primarily be coordinated at EU level, for example through minimum taxes.”
• EU as environmental organization»EU är världens viktigaste miljöorganisation – det är bara genom samarbete i Europa och globalt som klimatutmaningen kan mötas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The EU is the world's most important environmental organization – it is only through cooperation in Europe and globally that the climate challenge can be met.”

The plan establishes that traffic's health-damaging emissions are a burden that must decrease and that policy shall lay the foundation for safe and environmentally friendly communications; sharpened inspection with particulate count measurement is a means for this. At the same time the plan states that the EU is often the most appropriate level for transboundary environmental issues, which makes the support weak and the basis principled rather than direct.

• reduce traffic's health emissionsdecisive»Trafiken utgör också en belastning för människans livsmiljö genom hälsovådliga utsläpp,« (party programme ↗)“Traffic also constitutes a burden on people's environment through health-damaging emissions,”
• safe and environmentally friendly transport»Politiken ska lägga grunden för effektiva, säkra och miljövänliga kommunikationer för« (party programme ↗)“Policy shall lay the foundation for efficient, safe and environmentally friendly communications for”
• EU as level for environmental issues»Då miljöproblemen är gränsöverskridande till sin natur är EU i många fall den mest lämpliga« (party programme ↗)“Since environmental problems are transboundary in nature the EU is in many cases the most appropriate”

The counter-proposal wants to tighten the Swedish inspection regulations immediately and introduce particulate counting without waiting for the EU. The plan explicitly says that over-implementation of EU decisions should be countered and that EU directives as a main rule should be implemented at minimum level, and that red tape should be reduced significantly. National special requirements on top of the EU level therefore go against the plan's line, and the plan also values the motorist's costs.

• no national special requirementsdecisive»Minska regelkrånglet och onödig byråkrati, bland annat genom att motverka överimplementering i Sverige av EU-beslut – som huvudregel ska EU-direktiv genomföras på miniminivå« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Reduce red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy, among other things by countering over-implementation in Sweden of EU decisions - as a main rule EU directives should be implemented at minimum level”
• reduced red tape»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove one-third of companies' administrative costs and one-third of red tape”
• affordable car ownership costs»Där du som behöver åka en bit för att skjutsa dina barn till fotbollsträningen eller musikskolan har råd att ta bilen, oavsett om den går på bensin eller el.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where you who need to drive a bit to take your children to football training or music school can afford to take the car, whether it runs on petrol or electric.”

The plan establishes that evidence and Swedish competitiveness shall guide implementation of environmental and climate requirements rather than the will to go first and furthest, and warns against stricter Swedish requirements than the world's. The counter-proposal wants to tighten inspection rules and introduce particle count measurement immediately without awaiting EU regulation, which is such a special requirement. It also means new costs for motorists, contrary to the plan's goal of cheaper motoring.

• not lead the worlddecisive»Evidens, resultat och svensk konkurrenskraft ska styra genomförandet av klimatmål i högre utsträckning än politikers vilja att gå först och längst.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Evidence, results and Swedish competitiveness shall guide implementation of climate targets to a greater extent than politicians' will to go first and furthest.”
• avoid Swedish special requirements»Strängare miljö- och utsläppskrav i Sverige jämfört med i omvärlden riskerar ofta att slå ut svenska näringar och få globalt kontraproduktiva resultat när det kommer till de mål kraven syftar till att uppnå.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stricter environmental and emissions requirements in Sweden compared to the world risk often eliminating Swedish industries and achieving globally counterproductive results when it comes to the goals the requirements aim to achieve.”
• cheaper motoring»Sverigedemokraterna vill göra det lättare och billigare att ta sig fram med bilen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to make it easier and cheaper to get around by car.”
• no new burdens on motoring»Efter att bördor och skatter lagts på bilism och drivmedel i en aggressiv och storstadsfokuserad symbolpolitik har bilen istället blivit en klassfråga.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“After burdens and taxes have been placed on motoring and fuel in an aggressive and big-city-focused symbol politics, the car has instead become a class issue.”
