Translation: What is meant by the ban on ministerial rule (ministerstyre) in Swedish public administration?

  • ✓ Regeringen eller en minister får inte bestämma hur en myndighet ska avgöra ett enskilt ärende The government or a minister may not decide how an authority rules in an individual case

  • ✕ Riksdagen väljer alla myndighetschefer Parliament elects all heads of authorities Your answer
  • D Ministrar fattar själva beslut i enskilda ärenden Ministers make decisions in individual cases themselves

Not quite.

Enligt regeringsformen 12 kap. 2 § får ingen, inte heller regeringen, bestämma hur en myndighet ska besluta i ett enskilt ärende som rör myndighetsutövning eller lagtillämpning. Regeringen styr i stället genom lagar, budget och direktiv.

Under the Instrument of Government, chapter 12, section 2, no one, including the government, may decide how an authority rules in an individual case involving the exercise of public authority or the application of law. The government instead governs through laws, budgets and instructions.
