IOGT-NTO welcomes the proposal for a Swedish lobby register as a step toward greater transparency but warns it risks being ineffective if key meetings are excluded. “Citizens have the right to know who influences our decisions,” says president Lucas Nilsson.

IOGT-NTO urges a no-vote on farm sales of alcohol to protect public health. Introducing farm sales would gamble with people's lives and health, undermining Sweden's strongest protection against alcohol's harmful effects. Systembolaget saves 1,500 lives annually by limiting availability and profit interests.

Sweden ignores Portugal's criticism of farm sales, risking Systembolaget's monopoly and public health, warns IOGT-NTO's Emil Juslin.

Systembolaget's monopoly is at risk as the government pushes for farm sales, potentially violating EU law and increasing alcohol harm.
