The government wants to simplify and shorten permit processes for a faster transition and to make it easier for companies and investments, for, among other things, more nuclear power reactors and offshore wind turbines.

The government is therefore now appointing an investigation which will, among other things, look at how the regulations can be changed in relation to EU law, how environmental permits should be awarded and how the authorities can contribute to faster environmental permit processes.

The investigation must be reported on 15 December 2024 with the goal that the decisions will come into force during the current mandate period.

– Revenge on revenge. And then you get such strong concentrations in times of violence, unfortunately, says Manne Gerell, to TT.
