Denotes whether an agency is authorized to enforce the law. Supervision (tillsyn) does not have a precise legal definition, but when an agency is formally designated as a supervisory agency (tillsynsmyndighet), it typically implies that the agency has the right to initiate its own investigations, demand information from regulatory subjects, and sanction non-compliance. Prominent examples include the Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen), the School Inspectorate (Skolinspektionen), and the Swedish Competition Agency (Konkurrensverket).
