regleringspaket

Regleringspaket is a Swedish term for a coordinated set of regulatory measures issued by a government or regulator to govern a policy area or sector. The package approach is used to ensure consistency across rules and agencies, address complex reforms, and present a coherent plan to stakeholders and Parliament.

Typically a regleringspaket comprises formal legal instruments such as new laws or amendments to existing laws, administrative rules and regulations, guidelines, licensing or permitting requirements, and penalties for non-compliance. It may also include transitional provisions to manage the shift from old to new rules, as well as impact assessments, cost-benefit analyses, and detailed implementation timelines to guide enforcement and oversight.

The aim is to realize policy objectives such as consumer protection, market integrity, safety, environmental protection, or competition by addressing multiple dimensions of regulation in a unified framework. By bundling measures, authorities seek to reduce fragmentation, improve predictability for businesses and individuals, and facilitate monitoring and enforcement.

Process and actors typically include the relevant government ministry or regulatory body drafting the package, public consultation, and assessment by the legislature or an executive body before adoption. After enactment, regulators oversee the rollout, with possible evaluations and revisions as conditions change. Regleringspaket is a common instrument in Swedish regulatory policy and in European reform efforts.
