      To start with, I apologize for the answering being overdue. As you alraedy have talked to your lawyer friend, I suppose you are not asking for legal advice but rather for an opinion, what the Finnish common sense would say about your problem. You may understand that this answer is the opinion of one person, though I can add that for years I have been member of my house comittee, so I have some understanding in these matters. Your argument about seniority is valid, but not very strong. There...17.11.2010 11:43Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      Hi, There's no final decisions made yet of the type of the nuclear reactors. I browsed through the applications and endorsements by the Government where the following information can be found. First, the application by Fennovoima Oy. There's three proposed options to the type of the reactor: a) European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR), by Areva, b) KERENA (a type of boiling water reactor), also by Areva, c) Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR), by Toshiba-Westinghouse. There's several...9.5.2010 22:07

      First of all, a lot has been done for the homeless people in Finland. After the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless in 1987, the Government devised a multifaceted response to the problem. It included building of social housing, the creation of social welfare and health care services, and setting a target to provide a dwelling of minimum standards for every homeless person. The number of single homeless persons at that time was approxi-mately 18 000. In just 10 years, the number of...17.4.2010 22:12Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      Hello, Searching in the internet gave me no result. In your situation I would contact some (fairly big)companies in Finland to see if they would be interested in acting as sponsors to your project. It may also be worthwile to ask institutions such as Kirkon ulkomaanapu (lutheran church aid to foreign countries)for actual help or ideas as they may know who else you could turn to for help.29.1.2010 11:28Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      We apologize for the belated answer. The Library of Parliament has quite extensive collection of books and articles also in english. You can search their database with search word "julkishallinto". To get particular references about collaboration between citizens and public administration search "kansalaistoiminta". http://lib.eduskunta.fi/Resource.phx/library/index.htx?lng=en You can also search the Helsinki University Library with the same search words. https://helka.linneanet.fi/cgi-bin/...11.8.2009 17:06

      First of all, sorry for the latecoming answer. Your question was quite difficult to answer and in the end only some information was found. As in all EU countries, customs are regulated in Finland mainly through EU common customs tariff and of course, by law. For reasons that remained unsolved the finnish custom officer defines the custom value as transaction-value. This method is quite common also in other european countries. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/dossier/dossier_25.htm http://www....6.8.2009 20:10

      Hi,I wonder if you could help me on this.
      We are a public library and we do not have the expertise nor the data concerning your enquiry. However, we suggest that you get in touch with organisations that deal with economics and statistics. It would be a good idea to approach the London School of Economics library via their “Ask a Librarian” service. You can also contact the press corps of the Bank of Sweden. They might be able to help you. You might also check the web-sites of the Bank of England, statistics offices of both Britain and...7.7.2008 23:26Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      Your question is rather demanding and not really clear so I would prefer that you study the resources yourself to avoid misconception. You will find good information concerning Finland in english at http://www.suomi.fi/suomifi/english/index.html Please look at the subjects, taxation and pensions: http://www.suomi.fi/suomifi/english/subjects/work_and_pensions/index.html http://www.suomi.fi/suomifi/english/subjects/taxation_and_financing/index.html13.3.2008 14:32Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      What is ethnomethodology?
      Ethnomethodology is a sociological theory developed out of the work of Harold Garfinkel and others in the 1960s. It describes the underlying presuppositions and strategies which people use to make sense of and create social interaction in everyday life. Around 1970 conversational analysis, which studies the sociocultural norms that govern and regulate interaction, developed into a separate field of sociological research. See for instance this brief article from Wikibooks, the open-content...23.4.2007 20:24Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      I am not sure if France or French press agencies are nowadays universally recognized as the most impartial in international affairs, but to some extent you are right, I guess. Why it is so, is perhaps written in your question. In the time till WW1 French was accepted as The Language of Diplomacy in the whole western world. French was the first foreign language in most courts, if not even the native language of the ruling classes. French governesses were de rigeur. It was most natural that...14.4.2007 05:00Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto
