All Finnish ministries will begin to apply the ‘one-in, one-out principle’ in order to lighten the administrative burden on companies. According to the principle, Government-proposed increases in regulatory burdens on companies must be matched by equal reductions in regulatory burdens elsewhere. The work will begin immediately after the start of Parliament’s spring session.

On 30 June 2022, the Government submitted its national climate and energy strategy to Parliament as a report. The strategy is a comprehensive action plan for the medium term, which Finland will use to meet the EU’s obligations for 2030 and to achieve the national climate target for 2035. The strategy covers all greenhouse gas emissions in the emissions trading, effort sharing and land use sectors as well as the carbon sinks of land use and other sectors.

On 25 May 2022, the Government submitted a legislative proposal to Parliament that would temporarily lessen the obligation to lower the obligation to distribute renewable fuels in 2022. The objective of the proposal is to decrease the prices of transport fuels.
