The justification for this is that they don't want more taxes and fees, which is a bit silly. Such things are seen in many other places in Europe, and Tidögruppen knows that, Jakob Abrahamsson says.
Other planned measures, such as a reduced cultural VAT and efforts against illegal IPTV, are to be sent forward for re-investigation.
This pretty much came to nothing. But you can always hide by throwing this out in the middle of summer in an election year. Maybe that was the whole point - they didn't want to say anything.
