But this does not appear to be the course they have taken.   Apparently this is
an edict of policy from an executive branch of the Swedish Government.

I've always argued that the proper rolel for the governemnt to take in regard
to "their rights" was through legislative measures, that typically include some
safeguards, rather than in executive edicts.
