Mr. Petteri Orpo Minister of Finance of Finland Leader of Kokoomus, the National Coalition Party
1(8) FIIA Seminar 18 January 2018: A Comprehensive Reform Package for the EU Mr. Petteri Orpo Minister of Finance of Finland Leader of Kokoomus, the National Coalition Party Your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, good morning! First of all, I would like to thank you, Mr. Emmanouilidis, and your team for the report Re-energising Europe. It is a great contribution to an important discussion on the future of Europe, to which president Juncker, president Macron and many others, including the still conditional Grand Coalition deal in Germany, have also contributed during the last six months. The report states that European cooperation is not an ideology, but a necessity. Many of us Finns can agree with that statement, since we are here at the far end of Europe. Our economy is very dependent on exports. Isolation is not an option for us. In fact, none of the European countries can flourish on its own. None of us is big enough. We need each other. European Union is far from perfect, but its future direction is up to its member states and citizens. Brexit has forced the remaining EU Member States, the EU27, to think about the vision and mission of the EU after the UK has left. Against all odds, Brexit has pulled us together. Difficulties with Brexit have shown us how bad a choice it is to exit the EU. The future of the UK is unclear; investments and its trade relationships are on hold. 2(8) FIIA Seminar 18 January 2018: A Comprehensive Reform Package for the EU Fortunately, the negotiations took a turn for the better in December.

The problem is that not all customers are nice people. The opposite is true. Many a whinger is only happy when he can vent his anger. Raising his voice and attracting attention, he is thus taken more serious than somebody who uses balanced words to express a well- founded opinion. While a private company can decide for itself how to deal with criticism on the internet, mints always have to consider a third party: politics.

Law and Order Do Not Always Go Together. Vigilantism As Citizens Attempt to Enforce Order Outside the Law Is Rising
“Law and order do not always go together. Vigilantism as citizens attempt to enforce order outside the law is rising. Comprehensive studies about the phe- nomenon have been lacking. The 17 case studies and the conceptual and com- parative discussion by the editors go a long way to fill the void. A must read in these times of rising populism and xenophobia.” - Prof. em. Alex P. Schmid, Editor-in-Chief of ‘Perspectives on Terrorism’ and former Officer-in-Charge of the Terrorism Prevention Branch of UNODC. “Theoretically astute, empirically sound, this volume is the authoritative source on the growing phenomena of vigilantism around the world. This study is essential reading for anyone who is interested in understanding the changing nature of coercion, and the shifting relations of social and political order in the 21st century.” - James Sheptycki, York University, Canada. “Vigilantism poses a serious threat to democracy. It is therefore an important, yet understudied phenomenon in criminology. This edited volume raises important issues regarding the conditions under which different kinds of vigilantism emerge. Using case studies from different countries, this edited volume provides challenging new insights which are of importance to both academics and policy makers.” - Prof. Lieven Pauwels, Ghent University, Belgium. “This book is richly researched and extremely timely. The spread of vigilantism in our increasingly fractured world should stimulate debate about the nature and significance of state power, whether ‘private’ vigilante actors are in fact detached from their governments, and when right-wing vigilantism becomes a necessary component of state Fascist operations.” - Prof. Martha K. Huggins, Tulane University (emerita), USA.

But the debate in forum that believes Europe needs the UK over the past year has inevitably been UK-centric, focusing on what different bigger and better capital markets parts of the industry want, fear and expect from Brexit; what the impact of Brexit to help drive its recovery and will be on different sectors and how they will react; and what the UK government growth. should be asking for in the negotiations ahead.
