The investigation shall, among other things, analyze on which occasions it is legally possible and appropriate to pay publicly financed interpreter and how such a fee can be designed.
The goal is to strengthen the incentives to learn the Swedish language.
The Tidö agreement states that the government and the Swedish Democrats believe that the right to an interpreter should be limited. The starting point should be that the individual must primarily pay for interpreting services, the agreement states.
At the same time, the parties point out that in some cases it may be inappropriate to introduce a fee, for example when it concerns children or is about emergency situations with danger to life and health.
The inquiry will also give suggestions on how to design a ban on using children as an interpreter in contact with authorities. In addition, one must review the right for authorities to reject other relatives who interpret.
According to the time parties, interpretation through relatives can be problematic from an equality perspective. In particular, they emphasize the issue of honor -related violence and oppression.
