Municipalities are threatened with sanctions – financial times

Policy. the Government goes on temporary relief for the local authorities to be ready to receive all the new arrivals.

at the same time threatened those who try to get away with the sanctions.

Many municipalities have problems with to receive the newly arrived that the state has designated them. The reason is mainly the lack of housing. Moderatledda municipalities in Skåne and the Stockholm region have complained loudly.

– We understand that it is a inconvenient location. We have listened, ” says minister for employment Ylva Johansson (S).

the Country’s municipalities is expected in the year to receive 70 000 asylum seekers and their dependants who have received residence permits. Most will find the property on your own, but 21 702 shall in 2016, designated in accordance with the new bosättningslagen.

Temporary relief

After a anvisningsbeslut, the municipality has two months to arrange a home. The government extends now the deadline with a further two months for the anvisningsbeslut taken in 2016.

– It is a measure which will only help very little on the margin, ” says moderaten Peter Danielsson, mayor of Helsingborg, sweden.

the Government sees a risk that a too long wait leads to many new arrivals are trying to find housing on their own. It usually means overcrowding with relatives in municipalities where there are already many new arrivals. Thus become the disproportion between the municipalities is even bigger, something that bosättningslagen would counter.

Quota is lowered

21 702 that will be designated in year 12 892 had to move to a commune, but 6 216 which has been designated a kommunplats still exists on the Migration asylanläggningar in anticipation of a housing.

Next years, the municipalities receive 80 000 newly arrived, of which 30 600 should be directed. The Swedish migration board has however, in its latest forecast written down anvisningsbehovet to 23 600. The authority may now mandated to adjust the anvisningstalet.

Then you should take more consideration to how many newly arrived as arranged your own accommodation in the municipality when anvisningstalet for each municipality is determined.

– For a city like Malmö, it is a welcome news, ” says Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh (S), municipal executive board chairman of the Malmö, sweden.

Not optional

Despite the lightening emphasizes the minister for employment Ylva Johansson that the binding bosättningslagen continued to apply, and that the government will not accept if any municipality is trying to shirk its responsibility.

– If there are municipalities that do not follow the law, so I am prepared to impose sanctions.

today there are no penalties, but Johansson is threatening now to come up with legislative proposals if they do not arrange housing for designated new arrivals. According to the minister, they receive a “few months” to on. Economic sanctions are a possibility, but Johansson also does not want municipalities to be able to buy themselves free.

the Conservatives, however, will to say no to a sanktionslag.

Sanctions are not going to make it easier for municipalities to make housing, ” says Elisabeth Svantesson, policy spokesperson for M.
