Chapter 3 · How Sweden is governed
Vilken beskrivning passar en statlig förvaltningsmyndighet?
Which description fits a national administrative agency?
Correct answer: An organisation carrying out public administrative duties
An administrative agency performs public duties under the law and its remit. Skatteverket (Swedish Tax Agency) is one example; selling services to the state does not make a private supplier an agency.
