Stockholm Country Council

                Welcome to the newly updated Stockholm OSAC Country Council website. You will find useful links and reports relevant to security in Sweden as well as information about the activities of our country council. 2007 promises to be our best year yet, as we gear up for the fall Nordic Country Council Summit in Oslo. Please send your comments and recommendations for web content to mahantydr2@state.gov.

** Please see our new section dedicated to counterfeiting and piracy. Our committee created this new section in recognition of the depth of the issue, and Sweden's role as a global leader in Intellectual Property Rights. **

UPDATE: See notes from the May 10, 2007 seminar on credit fraud and trade secrets. The meeting was a huge success, and we were highlighted as the OSAC Country Council focus for June, 2007.

The Stockholm Country Council web site has been established as a means to facilitate communication between U.S. Businesses and the U.S. Embassy. The site is linked to the main Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) database and you may use your OSAC user account to access additional content within this site.
