The Network Statement describes the state-owned railway network, access conditions, the infrastructure capacity allocation process, the services supplied to railway undertakings and their pricing as well as the principles for determining the infrastructure charge. The Network Statement is published for each timetable period for applicants requesting infrastructure capacity. This Network Statement covers the timetable period 12 December 2021 – 10 December 2022. The Network Statement 2022 has been prepared on the basis of the previous Network Statement taking into account the feedback received from users and the Network Statements of other European Infrastructure Managers. The Network Statement 2022 is published as a PDF publication. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency updates the Network Statement as necessary and keeps capacity managers and known applicants for infrastructure capacity in the Finnish railway network up to date on the document. RINF data and the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency’s register information have been used to create a map service giving information about the characteristic features of the Finnish railway network. The Network Statement 2022 follows the general European structure for similar documents, which partially differs from the structure of previous Network Statements. The Network Statement comprises the following chapters: 1 General 2 Railway network 3 Access conditions 4 Capacity allocation 5 Services and charges 6 Use of the railway network 7 Service facilities The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency is responsible for preparing the Network Statement. A large number of experts working in different sectors of the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and outside the agency have been involved in the drafting process. The road and rail traffic management functions and vessel traffic services were corporatised as a state-owned limited company on 1 January 2019. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency purchases all traffic control services from the traffic control company Finntraffic Ltd.

Direktiivin toises- sa vaiheessa selvityksen piiri laajeni käsittämään rataosat, joiden vuosittainen liiken- nemäärä on yli 30 000 junaa.

Niiden selvittämistä edellytetään järjestelmällisesti mm. kaavoituksen ja muiden laajojen maankäyttöhankkeiden yhteydessä. Tutkimus- ja inventointitoiminta on lisääntynyt ja tunnettujen kohteiden määrä moninkertaistunut kymmenessä vuodessa. Maastossa ja maaperässä olevien historiallisen ajan kohteiden ja jäännösten kirjo on erittäin monimuotoinen ja suurilukuinen. Keskeisiä kysymyksiä ovat, mitkä niistä katsotaan muinaismuistolain rauhoittamiksi ja mitkä ovat suojelun tavoitteet kunkin kohteen osalta. Oppaassa luodaan yleiskatsaus maamme historiallisiin muinaisjäännöksiin; niiden tyyppeihin, ajoitukseen, lukumäärään ja tutkimuspotentiaaliin. Painotus on maastossa sijaitsevien kiinteiden muinaisjäännösten tunnistamisessa ja niiden suojelutavoitteiden määrittelemisessä sekä eri kohteiden muodostamien toiminnallisten ja historiallisten kokonaisuuksien luonnehtimisessa ja ymmärtämisessä. Opas on suunnattu ensisijaisesti kulttuuriympäristön inventointien ja muinaisjäännösten suojelun parissa toimiville, mutta myös kaikille muille, joita kulttuuriympäristö ja maastosta löytyvät historialliset rakennelmat kiinnostavat ja askarruttavat.

    Turku Stabbings on 18 August 2017

    Turku stabbings on 18 August 2017 P2017-01 FOREWORD On 19 October 2017, the Government appointed an investigation team pursuant to Section 32 of the Safety Investigation Act (525/2011) to investigate the stabbings that took place in Turku on 18 August 2017, in which two people died and eight were injured. The investigation is of an exceptional incident as referred to in Chapter 5 of the Safety Investigation Act. The investigation team attached to the Ministry of Justice is led by Chief Safety Investigator Kai Valonen from the Safety Investigation Authority. The team consists of Mika Hatakka (PhD in Psychology), Vesa Lind (Chief Physician), Marja Nyrhinen (Head Coordinator of Immigra- tion Affairs), Olli Ruohomäki (Visiting Senior Fellow), Tarja Wiikinkoski (Director) and Kari Ylönen (Master of Political Sciences). Head of Communications Sakari Lauriala contributed to the investigation in terms of communications. Sometrik Oy and Optifluence Oy prepared a so- cial media analysis for the investigation team at their request. A safety investigation establishes the course of events, causes and consequences as well as the rescue operations and actions of the authorities. Cause refers to the various underlying fac- tors of the incident and the direct and indirect factors affecting it. Any deficiencies in regula- tions and provisions on safety and the authorities are established, if necessary. The investigation report includes an account of the course of events, the factors that led to the incident, the consequences of the incident and safety recommendations to the competent au- thorities and other actors for measures that are necessary to increase public safety, prevent new incidents, prevent damage and to enhance the efficiency of rescue operations and other actions of the authorities.

Cost-benefit analysis is combined with returns to new intangible and human capital from interfirm worker mobility. Halving travel time to one hour in the Helsinki-Turku railway corridor increases commuting by 40% and yields annual returns of 30 million 2015€ in time savings and travel costs and 40-50 million € from new intangible and human capital. Two-thirds of gains are from new intangible capital, and one- third is from new human capital. These are largely explained by new jobs in the Helsinki metropolitan area.

    1 Partial Translation from the Book: Air Force Participation in the Finnish

    Partial translation from the book: Air Force Participation in the Finnish War of Independence in Year 1918 by Aarne Bremer, 1934 Translated by Seppo Koivisto, 2.2.1999; updated 18.5.1999, 15.5.2004 Chapter II. German Air Activity in Finland 1918 (pages 170-202) Initial Phase of Getting Aid (page 170) The greatest aid, that Finland received already in the preparatory stages and then during the war, came from Germany. Already in autumn 1917 arms shipments came from there to arm the home defence. During the Independence War large amounts of arms and ammunition were further bought from Germany. In February 1918 Germany agreed to send the Königlicher Preussischer Jägerbataillon Nr. 27 (of Finnish volunteers) to Finland. When the red danger was continuously worsening in Southern Finland, made Councillor of State Hjelt, a Finn that had greatest influence in Germany, his best to get aid to Finland. (Edvard Hjelt, 1855-1921, was an active and sometimes arbitrary representative of the Finnish Senate in Germany. He for instance issued a Finnish passport in false name to General Ludendorf after his resignation.) On February 11th the peace negotiations between Germany and Russia at Brest-Litovski were interrupted. By threatening St. Petersburg from Finland, Germany would force Russia swiftly for final conclusion of peace. For this Germany would not need large forces, just so much that the white Finland would win. German high command asked councillor of state Hjelt to send an urgent request for armed assistance. Councillor of State Hjelt saw, that he could fulfil this request, as he had received a telegram from Councillor of State A.
