Committee on EU Affairs

What approach should the Government take in the EU? In the Committee on European Union (EU) Affairs, the Government obtains support for its EU policies. The Prime Minister does this ahead of meetings of the European Council, and other ministers do so prior to meetings and decisions in the Council of Ministers. The Committee on EU Affairs works with all of the EU’s areas of cooperation, such as energy, trade, agricultural policy and foreign policy.

The parliamentary committees prepare decisions

The hub of the work of the Riksdag is the 15 parliamentary committees. This is where the members prepare the Riksdag’s decisions. When a committee has presented its proposal for a decision, all 349 members of the Riksdag adopt a position on the proposal. Each committee is made up of 17 members of the Riksdag. The committees are like a miniature Riksdag, which means that the composition of members in each committee reflects the balance of power in the Riksdag as a whole.
