Policy. Migration of 10,000 government jobs from Stockholm, specific impairment of the employer’s contribution and student loans in the most vulnerable municipalities, and special rural credit for housing.
It is some of the Landsbygdskommitténs 75 proposal for a more vibrant countryside.
– A historic day, says the minister of rural affairs Sven-Erik Bucht, when he receives the committee’s slutbetänkade for a coherent rural policy, something Sweden previously lacked.
– this is a fresh start and a change of direction for the Swedish rural policy, says the committee’s chairman Johan Persson (S).
the Proposal to relocate 10 000 state jobs over a 5-7 year period be provided as a “recommendation”. There are just as many that have been added in Stockholm since 2008.
relocation
– When it comes a recommendation from all parties in the Swedish parliament, it is a strong word, ” says the committee’s chairman Johan Persson (S).
All jobs, however, need not be moved, the committee points out. Should, for example, the police increase their presence locally, it also means that the government jobs are increasing. It also applies to the committee’s proposals to build a new service organization, for example, the social Insurance office, Swedish Tax agency and the Authority.
– Manages to implement these proposals, they have taken a big step in the right direction. Targeted efforts like government jobs in rural areas is important for the people and businesses confidence in the future. I myself have been franchised to Östersund and have only positive experiences from it, ” says Lars Wikström, head of The department for the regions.
Targeted packages
the Other proposal is to assess the impact on rural areas of changes in the taxation of transport. This is disguised as a warning from the committee against the proposed “kilometerskatten”. The committee would also like to cancel the closure of the local AF office until the consequences have been evaluated and that the new government in the first instance shall be located outside of the big cities.
in Addition to general measures, the committee proposes a targeted näringslivspaket to 23 municipalities. For example, it is proposed that sek 500 million shall be used to reduce payroll taxes or write off student loans.
Several of the proposals aim to improve public services in rural areas. Among other things, to regulate the responsibility of the banks for cash management services and ensure police presence. There should also be requirements on how quickly the police will be in place in the event of serious crimes.
Changed reseavdrag
another proposal is to revise reseavdraget, with the starting point that it should be distance-based.
the Committee is, in essence, agrees, which ensures that the proposals will also be realised, ” says Bucht, which highlights that there is now the opportunity for a coherent rural policy, not the scattered showers earlier. Only one reservation has been made, and it is the Liberals who do not want the new organization.
Now they are about 75 proposals out for consultation.
Landsbygdskommittén was appointed by the minister of rural affairs Sven-Erik Bucht (S) 2015. The assignment was to submit proposals on a coherent policy for long-term sustainable development in the Swedish countryside.
