Legislation belching EU: European Union could potentially change the face of Finland’s forestry industry forever…….

 


Glo-Bull Warming/ Climate Change crockery comes knocking at Finland’s door….

This is a multi-pronged problem that’s once again, very self inflicted. Choosing to go along with the tyrannical EU in an almost goosestep-like fashion comes with a cost. Eventually it will be turned against the very lackeys who vigorously defend it at every turn.

 

Bogus science meets highly centralized concentrated power vortex (EU in Brussels) and hands down edicts crafted elsewhere (by eco-maniacs who want to destroy free market capitalism and state sovereignty) and the Finns have to dance to the music.

European Union potentially changing the face of Finland’s forestry industry

Print news items are many and varied this Thursday, with largest Nordic daily Helsingin Sanomat running a piece about one of Finland’s top industries, forestry and wood pulp production, and how new regulations may change it forever.

 

On Tuesday, HS reports, the Environment Committee of the European Parliament decreed that Finland’s vast swathes of forest are not to be counted as carbon sinks, but as sources of emissions. Practically speaking, this means that Finland could be punished for increasing its industrial utilisation of one of its most abundant natural resources.

 

According to the paper, however, that the forestry industry needn’t lose sleep over the statement just yet – the Environment Committee’s stance may well be overturned in the European Parliament before it actually starts affecting Finnish industry standards.

 

“I strongly believe that the proposal will go through in terms that are agreeable to Finland’s agenda,” says Minister of Economic Affairs Mika Lintilä in HS. “The position of the European Parliament’s other committees on carbon sinks has been completely opposite to the one now expressed by the Environment Committee.”

 

Lintilä adds that one step should be taken at a time, and that no “panic button” or “plan B” is needed at this stage, with many phases in between the proposition and its potential implementation.

 

There is also another EU regulation that could affect Finland even more, says professor Antti Asikainen.

 

“Sustainability criteria for raw biofuel material could affect us more than the carbon sink stance,” he says. “At worst, all biofuel factory projects using sawdust and living trees could go under.”

NOTE: The ruling (self anointed) elites laughed over the EU’s stepping in an legislating local Finnish ‘‘mämmi” making and traditional boats, we were told that they’re just ”protecting Finnish local businesses from faux manufacturing abroad”. What they were doing however was setting precedents of Brussels intrusion into Finns’ daily lives that existed well enough without their help, and for centuries.
