Authority: It is possible to get around the postal blockade via the police  

 

It is possible for private individuals and companies to order their own license plates to get around the postal blockade, writes Dagens Industri. 

 - Yes in theory, but that is not the idea of the service, says the Swedish Transport Agency's press manager Mikael Andersson to the business newspaper.  

 

At the time of purchase, a customer can take care of ordering the license plate himself, and it will be delivered to the customer's home address.  

 

However, when the car is driven out of Tesla's delivery location before the permanent plate is in place, a visit to the police is required to obtain a temporary plate.

Swedish growth  

Still gloomy in trade: "Seriously worried" 

 

The retail trade continues to see no light in the tunnel, according to the Swedish Trade Barometer for November.  

 

According to the trade association's CEO Sofia Larsen, it is now about keeping one's nose above the surface for many.  

 

- It is clear that many of our member companies, especially the smaller ones, are seriously worried about declining sales and profitability due to declining consumption, she says.  

 

However, future expectations increased by 1.5 units to 78.4.

Climate threatGlobal challenges  

Climate and oil prices in focus at summits this week 

 

At the same time as the UN climate summit COP28 opens in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, Opec+ will hold its postponed meeting on production cuts. The COP28 chairman is none other than UAE Minister of Industry Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber, who is also CEO of the country's state-owned oil company.  

 

For COP28, the minister has set goals to, among other things, speed up the process of phasing out fossil fuels and establish a fund for damages and losses to support the world's most vulnerable countries, writes Reuters.  

 

But reaching an agreement on how to fight global warming and who should pay for it looks more difficult than ever, the news agency adds.  

 

Opec and the oil countries are expected to simultaneously decide to lower production levels in 2024 after oil prices fell, writes Bloomberg. 

 

The fact that the meeting is not held as planned this weekend is said to be due to disagreements about the reductions.
