12.12.2016 Sweden: Concern about insufficient road transport inspectionSvenska Dagbladet, 12 Dec 2016, Näringsliv p. 5:-
Ulric Långberg, Sector manager at the Swedish Association of Road Transport Companies (Sveriges Åkeriföretag), has stated that the number of Swedish police officers qualified for commercial road transport controls has decreased from about 1,000 to 200. He raises concern about an increasing number of foreign transport companies operating in Sweden which are believed to violate regulations. Many companies also employ subcontractors in several stages which means that the code of conduct risks being lost.
