Summary, in English
Sweden has a long tradition of being a welfare state with local authorities both having the responsibility for the provision of public services and being the ones delivering the services. This has changed the last decades and today public services performed by private entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs are usually chosen within the public procurement regime, but they can also—especially when it comes to different kinds of social services—be the deliverers of public services within the free choice system. This article focuses on the unique Swedish free choice system and public funding of independent schools in relation the EU competition rules.
