US embassy cable - 04HELSINKI1504

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  (U)  Poloff on November 29 spoke about the bilateral 
instrument with Matti Joutsen, the Director for International 
Relations at the Ministry of Justice.  Joutsen said that the 
GoF was "favorably disposed" to signing the bilateral 
instrument in Brussels on Dec. 15 or 16.  Joutsen said that 
Finland's Justice Minister, Johannes Koskinen, would 
unfortunately be unable to travel to Brussels for the 
signing.  However, Finland's Ambassador to the EU, Eikka 
Kosonen, will sign the agreement.  Kosonen would be 
accompanied by Juhani Korhonen, the chief negotiator on the 
Finnish side as regards the agreement.
