HS: European Commission scrutinises Finland’s new border act

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION is not yet prepared to comment on whether the border security act passed last week in Finland aligns with EU law, reports Helsingin Sanomat.

Eric Mamer, the director of communications at the European Commission, on Monday stated to the newspaper that the commission intends to analyse the act while taking into account the instrumentalised migration that has been witnessed at the border between Finland and Russia.
