The Swedish regulations governing national interests.
The Airijoki project is within the reindeer industry's national interests of Saarivuoma Sámi community.

Land use and considering different interests. - National interest that are identified in the Code.
Some areas are pinpointed in the legislation as areas of national interest and within these areas, no measures may be taken that do obvious harm to such an area’s identified value, with certain specified exceptions. The claims made by agencies regarding areas of national interest are not legally binding, however, until they become relevant within the framework of an exploitation concession permit or a mining permit assessment. If, in such an assessment, an area is deemed to be of national interest, measures must not be taken within it if they cause obvious damage to the interest. If an area is of national interest for several incompatible purposes, priority is to be given to the purpose or purposes that promote good long-term management in the most appropriate way.
P.S. The Airijoki project is not now designated as national interest for mining.
