The UK is a part of SEPA.

Yes, the UK is part of SEPA, but GBP is not. Therefore UK banks have to charge cross-border EUR payments in the same way as intra-UK EUR payments, but this doesn't apply to GBP payments. Banks in Sweden on the other hand have to charge cross-border SEK or EUR payments in the same way as intra-Swedish SEK or EUR payments.
