lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European Commission has written to the Swedish Government and asked it to intervene in the work of the Supreme Court. The basic principle behind a democracy is the distribution of power. It is constitutionally impossible for the Swedish Government to intervene in the work of the Supreme Court. I think that this is a serious attack on our constitutional principle. It would therefore be helpful if Parliament could explain to the Commission that it too must follow the ground rules in each country. The Supreme Court is the highest independent body in Sweden. We have no constitutional court or other possible ways of monitoring government power. If the Commission now calls on our government to influence the Supreme Court, this would damage our constitution and the ways in which our country and our democracy operate. It would be unfortunate if such a request were made again."@en1
