Legislation and permits
An official permit is required for every action that may change or spoil the environment. Both companies and private individuals need permits. Advice on permits can be obtained from local environmental authorities, Regional State Administrative Agencies, and the Finnish Environment Institute.
Environmental protection in Finland is controlled by legislation. With EU membership, EC legislation has an impact on Finnish environmental legislation.
