We consider that we have had good opportunities to influence the decision-making in the EU throughout our membership. This has been underpinned by the national system for coordinating EU affairs, which includes the Government, Parliament and the President. Parliament takes part in the national preparation of decisions that are made in the EU, so its role in EU affairs is larger than that played by many other parliaments. The social partners and civil society are also involved in the broader preparation process. Our system means that Finland has a thoroughly prepared, coordinated and coherent position. As a result of the coordination system Finland has a single policy.
