	Finland - Legislature
		The Eduskunta is closely tied to the president and to the Council of State.
		On the other hand, the Eduskunta is subordinate to the president in that he may dissolve it and call for new elections.
		The Eduskunta's ability to control the government is also apparent in its duty to comment on the annual report of the government's actions submitted in May, and the Foreign Affairs Committee's review of the frequent Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports detailing the government's conduct in the field of foreign relations.

		In the 1980s, the country was divided for national elections into fifteen electoral constituencies, fourteen of which sent between seven and twenty-seven representatives to the Eduskunta, according to their population.
		Candidates for the Eduskunta are almost invariably nominated by a political party, although a 1975 amendment to the election law allows the candidacy of a person sponsored by a minimum of 100 Finns united in an electoral association.
		Elections for the 200-seat Eduskunta are held every four years in March, except when the president has dissolved the body and has called for an early election.

		Eduskunta’s strong institutional framework for parliamentary scrutiny in EU matters is tested in a complex policy domain suffering parliamentary deficit at the EU level.
		Because of the amount and technicality of the government’s documents and their late arrival to Eduskunta, parliament’s real chances to participate were many times limited.
		All in all, as Eduskunta revealed to be rather supportive co-legislator to government, few serious agency losses were identified.

		The most important is the Constitution Act of 1919, which lays out the functions and relationships of the most important government entities, lists the basic rights of Finnish citizens and the legal institutions charged with their protection, and makes provisions for managing state finances and for organizing the defense forces and public offices.
		The judiciary is independent, yet it is bound by the laws passed by the Eduskunta, which, in turn, follows constitutional norms in drafting them.
		The Eduskunta, acting through its Constitutional Committee, serves as the ultimate arbiter of the constitutionality of a law or legislative proposal.

	FREE In-depth report - Council Of State - Finland
		Ministers generally enter the cabinet from the Eduskunta, but it has not been uncommon for them to be drawn from the outside, especially to serve in caretaker governments composed largely of leading private citizens and civil servants.
		The party composition of a new cabinet has to be acceptable to the Eduskunta, and it must correspond, to some degree, to the relative political strength of the parties within the chamber.
		If this is not possible, he may dissolve the Eduskunta and call for new elections with the hope of having the voters endorse his decisions by returning an Eduskunta from which a compliant government can be formed.

		The units were designed to blend sympathetically with the distinctive architecture of the 'Eduskunta'.
		The Auditel conference system, still in use today, has proven to be extremely reliable and robust, and has been a major factor in the Finnish government's decision to employ Auditel once again, for the installation of a new PC controlled and infra-red multi-language interpretation system.
		This system is to be installed in a new wing of the 'Eduskunta', which is designed specifically to hold European political conferences.

		The rostrums of the Eduskunta and the Riigikogu are a distant echo of the oracles of Delphi.
		The Finnish Eduskunta, to whom passionate disputes over the state budget and the amendment of existing legislation are by no means unknown, has been admired for its high political culture: if a decision has been passed, it has also become a fact respected by all political powers.
		The fact that the Eduskunta is at the Arkadia Hill and the Riigikogu at Toompea, proves how important our peoples have considered their bodies of representatives, to give them residence on hills.

	Finnish Law
		Finland's 1995 accession to the European Union has blurred the line between foreign and domestic policy; the respective roles of the president and prime minister are evolving, and plans are under consideration to rewrite the constitution to clarify these and other issues.
		Legislation may be initiated by the president, the Council of State, or one of the Eduskunta members.
		Although these two officials have largely parallel functions and each is required to submit an annual report of his activities to parliament, the former is appointed for life by the president and is a member of the Council of State, whereas the latter is chosen for a four-year term by the Eduskunta.
