An agreement has been reached between the Liberal, the Centre, and the (ruling) Social Democratic parties on the development of public service radio and television broadcasting in Sweden for the next licence period 1997-2001. Sveriges Radio and Sveriges Television are given new licences for the entire period, whereas the educational services will be reorganised. Decentralization and more independent production are emphasized for the new period.
