"In Sweden, freedom of expression has been protected by the constitution since 1766. The Directive on Insider Trading and Market Manipulation has given rise to debate and to some degree of unease, since there is a continued wish to protect journalists’ right to freedom of expression, even once the directive has come into force.
We believe however that we have received both sufficient explanations of why the directive is of great importance in terms of the desire, for example, to prevent financial speculation harmful to the private individual, and sufficient assurances that the directive will not have any effect upon the Swedish constitution. The directive as a whole has an important role to play in creating a free and more efficient financial market demanding sound consumer and investment protection. The amendment by the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party would bring financial journalism within the scope of the directive, but responsibility for implementation would be left to existing self-regulating bodies. That is why we have today voted in favour of the Directive on Insider Trading and Market Manipulation."@en1
