Comparative Table of Parliamentary TA Institutions
SWEDEN - THE PARLIAMENTARY EVALUATION AND RESEARCH UNIT
Institutionalisation
From 2007, the committees have
been able to
submit proposals and requests to the Parliamentary Evaluation and
Research Unit
(PER), which can assist in conducting technology assessments (TAs)
within
different areas. The unit, situated at the Committee services division,
works
on behalf of the committees of the Riksdag. Sweden has thus adopted the
»Parliamentary
unit model« which means that the parliament has its own office for TA
studies.
