SD threatens a government crisis if the Tidö parties do not agree on the reduction obligation, TV4 reports.
Today, approximately one third of biofuel is blended. But SD does not want you to have to mix in any biofuel at all.

Regarding yesterday’s article about the man who was found at Tranängssjön in Borås, the name of the lake is misspelled

Hello! According to the police was Tränningstorpasjön where the body was found.
Speaking of eggs.
Haven’t there been quite a few salmonella outbreaks recently? Are there any statistics for e.g. the last 10 years?
Peace
Hello! According to the Swedish Food Agency, there are not unusually many outbreaks now. On the other hand, the most recent outbreaks have occurred at Sweden’s largest facility, which has led to a very large number of eggs being recalled.
Hi, asking again, is there a risk of an egg crisis at Easter after all the salmonella alarms?
