Tjena, Dennis igen!
I got an answer from Socialstyrelsen. It seems that according to the new Swedish legislation (April 2016), Socialstyrelsen isn't allowed to issue a licence to practise without having assured that the applicant has 'sufficient language skills'. However, 'sufficient language skills' are not legally defined yet. From this point of view, the C1 level mentioned on Socialstyrelsen's site becomes more of a recommendation, rather than a mandatory requirement. At least this is what I understand.
At this moment, I think it's better to get in contact with employers and establish their requirements (including language skills level) and then discuss about the licence to practise issue. What do you think?
