Seminar: Effects of the EU bilateral trade agreements on agriculture and food sectors, Säätytalo 16.12.2016 (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry)
Mr Markku Keinänen, Director General, Ministry for Foreign Affairs
Great power rivalry is accelerating in the economic domain as states view economic interdependencies as vulnerabilities and gear up for competition through new means of economic intervention. This is shifting the global economy from market capitalism toward more strategic and state-directed capitalism. States are increasingly using their economies as strategic weapons through sanctions and other policies. The global economy is becoming fragmented as economic networks decouple and competing spheres of influence emerge, potentially leading to a new Cold War dynamic or "balkanization" of the global economy. Western sanctions against Russia over Ukraine are having significant economic effects on both Russia and the global economy through commodity market disruptions and inflationary pressures.
The document discusses the economic impacts of the war in Ukraine. It notes that while global activity was picking up, confidence has declined due to the war. Russia is facing high inflation and a sharp drop in commercial links. Commodity prices have surged since the war began. Inflationary pressures are broadening in many countries. The war is weakening global growth and increasing inflation. A large refugee crisis is also underway in Eastern Europe as many Ukrainians flee the war.
The document discusses the impact of the Russian war in Ukraine on the Finnish forest sector. It finds that Russian wood imports, which previously made up 75% of Finland's imported wood, have been cut off due to sanctions and export bans. This has increased demand for domestic Finnish wood and prompted companies to seek alternative wood sources from countries like Lithuania and Sweden. Rising energy and material costs also threaten to reduce profits for some forest industry producers in the coming years. The document analyzes trends in wood prices, exports, and the substitution of fossil materials with wood to meet growing demand.

Laura Huurtola, K-Market Erottaja - Kauppiaan kommentti norminpurkuun
1. Kaupan näkökulma/Laura Huurtola
•Kauppias kiittää MMM:tä byrokratian purkutalkoista!
•Valvonnan ja toimijan välisessä yhteistyössä halutaan, että lähdetään yhdessä
etsimään ratkaisuja
•Yrittäjä ei pysty paneutumaan Oiva-arviointiohjeisiin, jos tarkastuksilla löytyy
puutteita, halutaan selkeä neuvo, miten puute korjataan
•Kauppiaat keskustelevat erilaisista tulkinnoista valvonnassa – Päästäänkö pois
tulkinnanvaraisuudesta?
•Juustojen/kasviksia leikkaaminen myyntiin on asiakaspalvelua: jousto
tilavaatimuksiin on hyvä asia
•Vanhat kiinteistöt eivät mahdollista erillisiä lisätiloja.
•Vesipisteitä koskevat vaatimukset ovat olleet ylimitoitettuja; toimintojen
ajallinen erottaminen toisistaan käytännössä hyvä ratkaisu
•Siivousvälineitä koskevat joustot myös tervetulleita
•Muutokset näkyvät käytännössä vasta silloin, kun kauppias saa uuden
idean ja lähtee selvittämään sen käytännön toteutusta
