E-situation in Sweden
 All governmet bodies have web sites. The vast
majority have e-mail.
 80% of the population have access to the Internet from home, school or work. ”Home PC tax
regulations” allow employers to let their staff rent
PC:s and pay by a reduction of the gross income,
thus avoiding taxation
 50% of the population have a mobile phone
 10-15 Internet Service Providers with national
coverage
Political issues
 High speed access to the Internet for everyone in
the nation - vast investments are required. A hot
debate about what government investment or
commercial interest.
 24-hour electronic services from government
 Security and privacy issues - Use Public Key
Infrastructure for identification
Central Government Administration
in the Citizens’ Service"
(Government Bill 1997/98:136)
Use of information technology
 The Government considers that the central
government administration, taking integrity and
security aspects into account, should make use of
the scope afforded by IT to:
– simplify and improve the agencies’ contacts with the public
and companies,
– increase public supervision and control of the agencies’
activities,
– enhance the effectiveness of collaboration between
agencies, with the rest of the public sector, with EU institutions
and with administrations in other countries.
IT infrastructure
 In the Government’s estimation, the technical
infrastructure for the central government
administration’s communication with the public and
companies should be based on the Internet. Within
the framework of the Internet, the agencies should
develop services that simplify contacts with and the
interaction between citizens, companies and public
administration.
 Moreover, central government agencies should use
reliable means of transmitting documents and
communications in open IT infrastructure.
Information exchange between agencies
necessitates joint security regulations and
standardised solutions.
Agencies whose activities are oriented primarily
towards companies and the public should offer
electronic services for self-service to supplement
their traditional services.

assistent, helps the employer sort among a vast

New pension system
 Part of the national pension system will allow part of
the pension savings to be invested in funds by the
individual’s own choice
 Change of funds can be made on-line
Security and privacy
 Electronic identification is of great importance

 Electronic ID-cards - the standards are there, few
applications.
