Stockholm - Swedish parliamentarian Birgitta Ohlsson was Tuesday named as the new minister for EU affairs, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said. Ohlsson, 34, is a member of the Liberal Party, one of the four parties in the centre-right coalition that took office in 2006.

 

She succeeds Cecilia Malmstrom who last month left the Swedish cabinet after being nominated to the incoming European Commission.

 

Both Reinfeldt and Liberal Party leader Jan Bjorklund underlined that Ohlsson was a strong supporter of European cooperation, not the least within the framework of the 27-member European Union.

 

Ohlsson, a former head of the Liberal Party's youth wing, was elected to parliament in 2002 and is a member of the foreign affairs committee. She told reporters she hoped to focus on three areas as minister.

 

One area was the "core" of what Europe stands for, and to ensure "that Europe lives up to fundamental human rights", she said.

 

Another area was to highlight knowledge and education as economic growth factors, and a third centred on efforts to tackle climate change, Ohlsson added.

 

Sweden is due to hold parliamentary elections in September, and Ohlsson said she looked forward to the coming election campaign.
