It is a general finding of this report that the national, regional and local work with EU-affairs is deeply interwoven with domestic affairs; hence, it is indeed difficult to maintain a division between them. Even if it is hard to come up with exact figure, it seems accurate to suggest that the EU-bureaucracy is large-sized in Sweden. Noteworthy is that some respondents prefer to conceive of EU-affairs as a “potential of use” rather than “adaptational pressures” as perhaps indicated of their interpretation of the term “bureaucracy”.
