It was very difficult to find English language article but finally:

"2009-12-01
The highly discussed and controversial wiretap law takes effect today. But the signal intelligence agency FRA is far 
from ready with the technical implementation.

The “FRA law” last year was accepted by the Parliament and gives ‘Försvarets radioanstalt’, FRA (the National Defence 
Radio Establishment)
legal permission to tap communication cables passing the Swedish national borders, this despite protests by a large 
public opinion and many experts."

All access points are not ready yet:
""Such work is in full swing, but not yet finalized", says Anni Bölenius, information officer at FRA to Computer 
Sweden."
