Just wondering if you have access to it. The committee of ministers has adopted the resolution for Sweden CM/ResCMN(2013)2, follows "Two laws of particular importance to persons belonging to national minorities were adopted in 2009: the National Minorities and National Minority Languages Act (2009:724) and the Language Act (2009:600). These laws expand the geographical areas in which the Finnish, Meänkieli and Sami languages can be used in contacts with the administrative authorities and increase the opportunities for persons belonging to national minorities to have an impact in decision making on issues of concern to them. A new integrated strategy for national minorities, aimed at clarifying the responsibilities of national, regional and local authorities, was also adopted in 2009.
Sweden has enacted new comprehensive antidiscrimination legislation and established a single Equality Ombudsman empowered to deal with all grounds of discrimination covered by Swedish law. This should enable the Ombudsman to take better account of multiple discrimination. Sweden has also made commendable efforts to improve the prosecution of hate crimes.".../...The expansion of administrative areas under the National Minorities Act means that more children are entitled to pre-school activities in minority languages.
Can you get me the parliament debate transcripts? if not the Swedish Gov presentation supporting the legislation when it was introduced to lawmakers?
