Thanks for a helpful English-language link
After jamming it through Google Translate, it actually has a pretty heavy pro-E85 slant that that laments the fact that E85 did not gather sustained support.
From the article:
Quote:
It's a shame , because it is not possible to fossil-free Sweden without ethanol. Electric cars are still too expensive and not good enough , and the other options are not enough. The nail in the coffin is probably the tax increase due on 1 December.
Beginning December 1, the Swedish government is assessing a 72 cent/liter tax on E85. This is, of course, after the Swedish government forced all filling stations to offer a renewable alternative fuel a few years back. Most stations chose to offer E85.

Pretty women and NO ethanol subsidy. Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat Norway gets plenty of oil from the North Sea, gas SHOULD be cheap in Sweden unless "social engineering" is going on.
