The Riksdag Board
The Riksdag Board is responsible for the activities of the Riksdag Administration and must ensure that they are conducted effectively and in accordance with existing legislation and guidelines. The Board must also ensure that the Riksdag Administration manages public funds well.
The decisions taken by the Riksdag Board include the rules of procedure for the Riksdag Administration, its activity plan, annual report and proposals for the budget for the Administration. The Board also decides on submissions and reports to the Riksdag and other matters of major importance. Proposals may concern gender equality in the Riksdag, how the Riksdag is to work with EU-related matters or how motions are to be dealt with.
The Riksdag Board also deliberates on the planning of Riksdag business.
