Government assignments

Content:

At the end of each year, the Government of Sweden issues the Swedish Chemicals Agency with a letter of appropriation. The appropriation sets out our obligations for the upcoming year in relation to the targets we are set to achieve, our assignments and allocations, and our reporting guidelines. We are also given assignments outside the framework of this appropriation.

Assignment in simplifying our legislation for companies

The Swedish Chemicals Agency is to review and simplify our legislation and general advice and submit proposals for simplification of laws and regulations within our field of activity. The aim is to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses. Ten other authorities have also been given the same task. The authorities must submit a final report by 15 March 2026.
