Spotlight on Sweden
In 1999, fifteen existing environmental laws were amalgamated into the Environmental Code. The purpose of the Environmental Code is to promote sustainable development that will enable present and future generations to live in a good and healthy environment. Some of the European Union laws apply directly, without prior sanction by the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament), while others are implemented in existing Swedish legislation, such as the national Food Act. Implementation of environmental policies and laws is coordinated by some of the central environmental agencies, but all agencies are responsible for environmental impacts in their fields.
