Control of acquisition and possession of civil weapons: EU Court judgment in Case C-353/22 Commission v Sweden
On 26 July 2019, the EU Commission called on Sweden to comply with the amended Arms Directive by 26 September 2019. The deadline for transposing these amendments into Swedish law expired on 14 September 2018. In May 2022, the Commission asked the Court of Justice to declare that Sweden had failed to transpose these amendments into national law. It also asked the Court to order Sweden to pay financial penalties.
