Key objectives of the measure:
As an EU member state, Sweden has handed over responsibility for handling trade issues, including negotiations on international trade agreements, to the European Commission. International trade was one of the first areas in which EU member states agreed to harmonise their powers. In other words, the EU, by acting as a single unit, negotiates on both bilateral and multilateral trade agreements on behalf of all its member states.
