FINLAND - THE COMMITTEE FOR THE FUTURE
Finding Topics
Committee for the Future has the power set its
own agenda. All topics are »own« except the so called »Future report«
of the Government which is submitted from the Prime Minister´s Office
to the Parliament once during every 4 years election period. The powers
of the Committee are adequate and very permissive. It would not be
advisable to lose the character of a parliamentary think tank, which is
both of a high standard and even unique in the world, by routinely
accepting legal matters as the subjects of statements.
