Finland: Legislative changes in 2007

The national incomes policy agreement for 2005-07 provided for a total of 23 bipartite or tripartite working groups, some new and some continuing the work of earlier groups (EER 394 p.27). These various initiatives have resulted in a number of changes to the law, notably relating to social security, some of which came into effect at the beginning of 2007 with others entering into force during the year.
