Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Priorities for European Presidency: Engagement with Ambassador of Sweden

H.E. Mr. Magnus Ryd?n:

A lot of things are happening this year. Not only will Sweden hold the EU Presidency, we will also be coming back to Ireland and upgrading our diplomatic presence here. We look forward to that.

On migration, it is an important issue at EU level and national level. In Sweden, we have had a broad debate in respect of migration. We have a new Government that has a programme of Government for the coming four years of its term. It has a couple of proposals to deal with migration and other issues raised by the Senator. We will continue to work on that. That will also be part of the EU agenda when we discuss the asylum and migration pact in the European Union. We will have a Government that has a programme and we will continue with a couple of proposals nationally to deal with the situation in Sweden.
