Ministerstyre

Ministerial interference (ministerstyre) is when a minister tries to direct an individual decision by a public agency, which is prohibited in Sweden. The agencies are to make decisions in individual cases independently, without a minister getting involved. The Government instead steers the agencies in an overarching way, through laws, the budget and general assignments, not by deciding the individual case.
