"the laws do not apply if they contravenes the constitution"
Isn't the EU based on the primacy of EU laws over local ones? The Sweden constitution should have been amended long time ago.

"The principle was derived from an interpretation of the European Court of Justice, which ruled that European law has priority over any contravening national law, including the constitution of a member state itself"
- PeterisP 4y agoThere's no issue of primacy between laws as GDPR explicitly states that processing of private data which is required by some local law is legitimate. GDPR does apply to state and municipal institutions, requiring them to have a legal basis for processing private data, however, local laws can grant that legal basis and GDPR would not dispute it.
