Thursday's demands apply to eight EU directives that have not been fully implemented by the member states and for which formal letters of complaint are now being sent.

Sweden is affected in five of the cases, ranging from the structure of the electricity market to hydrogen regulations and measures against human smuggling.

A similar review of late-transposed rules was conducted this summer, when Sweden was barred from, among other things, rules on labour immigration and the transport of dangerous goods.

EU directives are objectives that member states must achieve through their own legislation, while regulations apply directly throughout the EU, regardless of national laws.
