Finland lines up for CERN

The Finnish Government has de• cided to begin negotiations for Fin• land to become a CERN Member State in a few years. Finland would then become CERN's fifteenth Member State (the others being Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Greece, Italy, the Nether• lands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Uni• ted Kingdom).
