> The European Commission is using a system called E-PRIOR to

> Now it appears that the Finnish government (or at least someone in

> I hear that someone in Finland's parliament is asking

> If those questions have already been asked, it would be good if we

> Recently in Switzerland, there was a lawsuit along similar lines,

> Do you know anything about this? Can you find out?

> I'll be happy to do the work on substance, but my Finnish is still
