The Committee on European Union Affairs (EU-nämnden) is a specialized parliamentary body within the Swedish Riksdag. Its primary mandate is to consult with the Swedish Government on European Union policy, ensuring the cabinet maintains parliamentary support for its negotiating positions ahead of meetings of the Council of the European Union and the European Council. Established by the Riksdag in 1994 ahead of Sweden's entry into the EU on January 1, 1995, it was created to secure democratic oversight and executive accountability in EU decision-making.
