1. An electromagnetic shielding device for electromagnetic shielding of a power transmitting arrangement configured to house an electromagnetically shielded conducting element, wherein the shielding device has essentially the form of a sleeve, said electromagnetic shielding device comprising: a shielding sleeve extending axially along longitudinal axis and having a weakened portion, which is configured to be contracted axially and to be contracted radically inwardly toward the longitudinal axis, from an initial non-connected state to a final connected state in which the weakened portion applies a spring force to said shielded conducting element for establishing an electrical connection and a shielding continuity between the shielding sleeve and the shielded conducting element, wherein the shielding sleeve provides a continuous electromagnetic shielding across the shielded conducting element, where insulation and shielding of the conducting element is removed. 2. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 1, wherein the weakened portion of the shielding sleeve is characterized as a weakened ring section, wherein a wall of this weakened ring section defines a plurality of slots oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shielding sleeve and defining wall sectors between the slots which, in cross section, are bent in a V-shaped form having an inwardly oriented point, the contraction of the weakened ring section being realized by inwardly bulging of said wall sectors in between the slots. 3. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 2, wherein the wall sectors between the slots of the weakened ring section are adapted to be bent inwards, such that in assembled condition the sectors will apply a spring force to the shielding of the conducting element. 4. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 2, wherein the sectors between the slots of the weakened ring section are adapted to be bent inwards forming essentially a V-shape. 5. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 2, wherein at least one of the slots is shaped so that at least one of the adjacent sectors comprises at least one weakened portion or a constriction to facilitate bending thereof. 6. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 2, wherein the weakened portion comprises a reduced diameter compared to the main body of the shielding sleeve. 7. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 2, wherein the shielding sleeve comprises at least one axial end compression edge which by axially applying a pressure to this compression edge is configured to compress the shielding sleeve, thus inwardly bending said wall sectors between the slots of the weakened ring section and thus contracting the weakened portion. 8. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 7, wherein the compression edge is the axial end edge of an axial end section of the shielding sleeve which does not define any slots. 9. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 2, wherein a radial distance, separating each V-shaped wall sector from the longitudinal axis is reduced when the weakened portion of the shielding sleeve is contracted axially and radically inwardly toward the longitudinal axis, from the initial non-connected state to the final connected state. 10. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 1, allowing a shielding of at least 40 dB in the range of 10 kHz-5 MHz. 11. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 1, adapted to house a cable which comprises at least one portion for power or signal transmission and a preferably coaxially arranged portion for electromagnetic shielding of said cable. 12. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 1, adapted to be installed in a power connector arrangement, the power connector arrangement being able to transmit a power of more than 50 kW. 13. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 1, wherein the electrical connection between the electromagnetic shielding device and the electromagnetic shielding of the conducting element is established without separate contact spring elements. 14. The electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 1, made from sheet of metal which is stamped and rolled into an essentially cylindrical shape. 15. An assembly, comprising: at least one electromagnetic shielding device according to claim 1;at least one electromagnetically shielded conductor for power or signal transmission; anda connector housing, wherein the at least one shielded conductor is at least partially mounted inside the at least one shielding device; the shielding device and the shielded conductor being mounted inside the connector housing. 16. The assembly according to claim 15, further comprising a female contact terminal, the female contact terminal at least partly mounted inside the electromagnetic shielding device. 17. The assembly according to claim 15, further comprising a housing part of a counter-connector having another shielding element, wherein the other shielding element and electromagnetic shielding device are in contact with each other thereby providing a shielding continuity over the whole assembly. 18. A method for manufacturing an electromagnetic shielding device comprising the following steps: a) providing an electromagnetic shielding device in accordance with claim 1;b) inserting the electromagnetically shielded conductor;c) contracting the weakened portion to establish an electrical connection between the electromagnetic shielding device and the shielding of the conductor.
