Summary:

Minister of Finance Petteri Orpo said at the Coalition Party conference that Finns extensively support EU’s deeper security and defence policy. According to him, Finland must stay in the front line of deeper defence collaboration. Mr Orpo added that Turkey has quickly become one of the EU’s central challenges. He would hold on to the refugee agreement but also to human rights and rule of law. He also commented on the upcoming budget negotiations, saying that the government’s employment package is the most important issue. His Party is ready to consider all options that enable the creation of new private sector jobs in Finland. « The flexibility of the labour market must still be improved, and accepting employment must be made profitable even in low-paid jobs. »
