Extensive amendments to the Swedish Protective Security Act - increased obligations and a comprehensive sanctions system

 Extensive amendments to the Swedish Protective Security, which include increased obligations for operators of security-sensitive activities and a comprehensive sanctions system, are proposed to enter into force on 1 December 2021.
