The bill otherwise

The plan wants to reclaim socially vital activities that have been privatised and warns that privatisations open for criminals to enrich themselves from tax funds; it requires greater societal oversight of companies to prevent fraud. To move building controls from municipalities to certified private actors contradicts this and creates precisely the dependency relationships the plan warns of. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demand that society retains control.

• reclaim 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 reclaim the socially vital activities and infrastructure that have been privatised.”
• privatisation opens for crime»Privatiseringarna av välfärden öppnar upp för kriminella att sko sig på skattemedel.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Privatisations of welfare open up for criminals to enrich themselves from tax funds.”
• societal oversight of companies»Vi vill gå mot en större samhällelig insyn« (party programme ↗)“We want to move towards greater societal oversight”
• against economic crime»Det behövs en effektiv uppföljning av den organiserade« (party programme ↗)“An effective monitoring of the organised”

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 demands democratic control over socially vital functions and that systems leading to insufficient control and corruption are abolished. Moving controls from municipalities to certified private building assessors creates exactly the dependency relationships and unclear division of responsibility that the counter-proposal warns against. The plan wants societal development to be guided by citizens' needs rather than market logic.

• democratic controldecisive»Demokratisk kontroll över välfärden och samhällsviktiga funktioner.« (party programme ↗)“Democratic control over welfare and socially vital functions.”
• counter corruption»Förhindrande av korruption och otillbörlig påverkan.« (party programme ↗)“Prevention of corruption and undue influence.”
• no systems with insufficient control»Avskaffande av system som leder till bristande kontroll, läckage av skattemedel,« (party programme ↗)“Abolition of systems leading to insufficient control, leakage of tax funds,”

The plan emphasizes that effective and independent oversight is needed for laws to be followed and for creating fairness between businesses, and wants agency cooperation to be able to crack down on unscrupulous actors in the construction sector. Moving oversight duties from municipalities to certified private actors weakens precisely that public oversight. The counter-proposal's requirement to reject that part therefore lies in line with the plan.

• effective public oversightdecisive»Tillsynen är också viktig för att skapa rättvisa mellan olika företag« (party programme ↗)“Oversight is also important for creating fairness between different businesses”
• agency oversight of unscrupulous actors»stärka myndighetssamverkan så att myndigheterna kan slå till mot den organiserade brottslighetens företag från flera håll« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen agency cooperation so that agencies can crack down on organized crime's companies from multiple angles”
• quality in construction»Bostäder ska byggas med lång livslängd, god boendestandard och resurseffektiva,« (party programme ↗)“Buildings shall be built with long life span, good housing standard and resource-efficiently,”

The plan wants to simplify and speed up building and permit processes and views positively that private actors perform tasks that the public otherwise handles. The counter-proposal's requirement to stop expanded controls by certified private building inspectors thus goes against the plan's line. The plan's ambition to sharpen work against corruption gives some support to the counter-proposal's objection, so the conclusion is uncertain.

• competitive tendering of public activitiesdecisive»Offentlig verksamhet kan med fördel konkurrensutsättas för att ge det privata näringslivet möjlighet att skapa« (party programme ↗)“Public activities can advantageously be put out to competitive tender to give the private business sector the opportunity to create”
• easier to build»Strandskyddet ska reformeras så att det blir lättare att bygga och bo på landsbygden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shoreline protection shall be reformed so it becomes easier to build and live in the countryside.”
• faster permit processes»Klimatet kan inte vänta på dyra och krångliga regelverk.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Climate cannot wait for costly and complicated regulations.”
• tightened rules against corruption»Sverige ska bli ännu mer transparent. Vi vill inrätta en antikorruptionsmyndighet, skärpa regler mot korruption och införa ett lobbyregister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden shall become even more transparent. We want to establish an anti-corruption agency, tighten rules against corruption and introduce a lobbying register.”

The plan wants to simplify planning and building regulations, shorten appeals processes and even give builders the right to work out detailed plans which the municipality then examines. An expanded role for certified private building assessors lies in that line. The counter-proposal wants instead to retain controls with municipalities, which goes against the plan's commitment to a simpler building process with maintained legal certainty.

• greater role for builderdecisive»Byggherrar ska ges rätten att utarbeta detaljplaner som sedan prövas av kommunen.« (party programme ↗)“Builders shall be given the right to work out detailed plans which are then examined by the municipality.”
• simplified building regulations»Plan- och byggreglerna bör förenklas, överklagandeprocessen förkortas och möjligheterna till att begränsa kommunala särkrav ses över.« (party programme ↗)“Planning and building regulations should be simplified, the appeals process shortened and the opportunities to limit municipal special requirements looked into.”
• simpler permit assessment»Automatiserad handläggning av olika slags tillstånd skulle förenkla för företagare och bör användas under förutsättning att rättssäkerheten alltid upprätthålls.« (party programme ↗)“Automated handling of various permits would simplify for entrepreneurs and should be used provided that legal certainty is always maintained.”
• legally sound rules of the game»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 regulations shall protect property rights, competition on equal terms, legal certainty and that individuals have equivalent and good opportunities to reach their life goals.”

The plan requires that the planning process is marked by efficiency and good customer service toward those who wish to build, that bureaucracy and complicated rules are countered and that public activities build as far as possible on the absence of monopoly. An expanded role for certified building assessors lies in that direction. The counter-proposal wants to retain controls with the municipalities and therefore goes against the plan, even though the plan emphasizes quality control as a political task.

• efficient planning processdecisive»Men planprocessen måste också präglas av effektivitet och god serviceanda gentemot de aktörer som vill bygga och utveckla stad och landsbygd.« (party programme ↗)“But the planning process must also be marked by efficiency and good customer service toward the actors who wish to build and develop city and countryside.”
• counter bureaucracy»Byråkrati och krångliga regler ska motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“Bureaucracy and complicated rules shall be countered.”
• absence of public monopolies»Den offentliga sektorns verksamhetsformer ska så långt möjligt bygga på frånvaro av monopol.« (party programme ↗)“Public sector activities shall as far as possible build on the absence of monopoly.”
• quality control as a political task»Utvärdering, kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska uppgifter.« (party programme ↗)“Evaluation, cost monitoring and quality control are therefore important political tasks.”

The plan wants to simplify the building process, replace advanced detailed plans with simpler building plans and shorten government agencies' processing times with a final deadline. Letting certified building inspectors take over more inspections is such a simplification step, whereas the counter-proposal wants to keep the inspection in the hands of municipalities. The party programme's view of a limited state points in the same direction, which means that the plan speaks against the counter-proposal's requirement.

• simplified building processdecisive»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Replace advanced detailed plans with simpler building plans”
• shorter processing times»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shorten government agencies' processing times through a final deadline”
• limited public provision»En stor stat leder till ett svagare samhälle.« (party programme ↗)“A large state leads to a weaker society.”
• 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”

The plan wants to adapt and simplify rules and processes for planning and construction, review building standards and increase competition in the construction market to get more homes built. An expanded role for certified building inspectors aligns with this, so the counter-proposal's demand to stop the change is rejected. The plan's requirement to counteract systems that invite fraud and corruption serves as a counterweight and makes the assessment uncertain.

• simplified building processdecisive»Anpassa och förenkla regler och processer för planering och byggnation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Adapt and simplify rules and processes for planning and construction”
• increased competition in construction»Nybyggnation kan underlättas genom att se över byggnormer och öka konkurrensen på byggmarknaden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“New construction can be facilitated by reviewing building standards and increasing competition in the construction market.”
• increased construction»Öka bostadsbyggandet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase residential construction”
• counteract corruption risks»Både fusk och sådana system som tenderar att locka till fusk och korruption ska motverkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Both fraud and systems that tend to invite fraud and corruption shall be counteracted.”
