I could not find any further clarifications in the commented document. I suppose this will be still another issue for the discussion in the Swedish official and informal university debate. One of many places to further this discussion would be at the National Secretariat of Gender Research (www.genus.se), which has a mandate to keep the research political discussion strong for the sake of feminist research.
