More government agencies to relocate – Aftonbladet

Policy. Sweden should stick together. Therefore, relocating the government Fastighetsmäklarinspektionen with 19 employees to Karlstad.

When the Consumer utlokaliserades there for ten years then disappeared in the almost all competent staff.

– It is important that the Swedish government takes its responsibility to keep up our country, ” says civilminister Ardalan Shekarabi (S).

the Question is, in which 19 employees at Fastighetsmäklarinspektionen make any substantial difference in this respect.

– Not if it had been an individual decision, but we will continue to work with the relocation of the authorities. There will be no more, says Shekarabi.

so Far, the government has decided on two relocations. In addition to Fastighetsmäklarinspektionen to Karlstad, so has parts of the E-health moved to Kalmar.

Negative effect

a comprehensive evaluation of all the relocations that have been made since the 1970s is not available, but the national audit office evaluated the 2009 move of the national Institute of public health and the Swedish Consumer agency to Östersund, respectively, Karlstad.

the Evaluation shows that both the authorities “were significantly affected” for several years. Only one per cent of the staff moved with, which was due to experienced personnel, disappeared with their skills. The new staff simply lacked the experience of the authorities ‘ areas. According to the national audit office, it took several years to build up the skills again.

Reduced activity

“It may be questioned whether it is reasonable to reduce an authority’s activities during the several years of time,” concludes the national audit office.

– There are risks that must be managed. It is, therefore, the decisions must be based on facts and careful planning, ” says Shekarabi.

the Head of the Fastighetsmäklarinspektionen Eva Westberg also see a risk that the move of the authority can affect the business adversely.

– Yes, I believe that, said Westberg, who admits that the news came as a surprise.

Symbolic meaning

the Relocation of governmental agencies has been discussed since the 1940s. The motives have shifted with time, but mainly to relieve the growing metropolitan areas, counter lands had become deserted in rural areas, lowering the state’s costs and create jobs.

the Move of the national public health Institute and the national Consumer agency was in both cases also more expensive than planned. In a report from the state Treasury in the year also notes that “the location of the state authorities provides small effects on the local and regional labour market.”

– It also has a symbolic importance, that we show that we see throughout the country. It is an issue of principle about the legitimacy of the state and the trust to it, ” says Ardalan Shekarabi.

How many more or which authorities are to be moved from Stockholm, sweden, he does not say in the day.
