Finland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union started on 1 July. The Presidency website is being produced in five languages. This means the Translation and Language Division of the Prime Minister’s Office will be kept busy all year, because we will be translating material into several languages for around 140 meetings being organised in Finland during the Presidency.

The Translation and Language Division of the Prime Minister's Office prepares glossaries of topical terms. The most recent lists of terms are related to the health, social services and regional government reform and the intelligence gathering legislation, prepared in the ministries and discussed in Parliament. The Prime Minister's Office has now published three new glossaries to harmonise the use of terminology in Finnish, Swedish and English.

The Prime Minister’s Office has compiled a Financial Markets Glossary which contains some 85 concepts relating to financial markets.
