Swedish term or phrase: ATP
Hi everyone, I don't speak Swedish, but I think you could help me with this acronym. It is related with the old pension system in Sweden.

"The new rules for calculating initial pensions are gradually introduced over a 17 year period, beginning in 2003, during which the old system, the ATP scheme, is phased out".

I found this on Google: Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension (ATP) Is this what this acronym stands for? And how could it be translated into English?

Many thanks in advance!
