OBS_VALUE: The EU Regulation 2019/452 introduces a mechanism for Member States to screen foreign direct investments in their territory on grounds of security, public order, or development of sensitive technologies.  The Swedish Foreign Direct Investment Act is set so as to prevent foreign investments that may have a harmful effect on Sweden’s national security and interest in relevant sectors. This entails that investors seeking to gain influence or a set amount of voting rights in a sector under the scope of the relevant regulation will be subject to notification requirements and screening. The Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP) is the authority responsible for the screening and assessment of FDI notifications.
