"Finland is aiming to become party to the Ottawa Convention in 2006 and replace anti-personnel mines with other military systems by the end of 2010. At no stage has Finland exported anti-personnel mines to other countries. Finland has produced and stored anti-personnel mines exclusively for its own defence needs. Defence expenditure in Finland has traditionally been amongst the lowest in Europe. The decision to give up anti-personnel mines presents an enormous challenge to Finnish national defence. Anti-personnel mines are a weapon of defence. Or can someone tell me how anti-personnel mines could be used in an attack? They play a major role in the Finnish defence strategy. Replacement programme solutions are being planned for discussion, in connection with a new investigation into defence, to take place by the year 2005. Still to be examined are questions of financing, replacement systems and methods, and the effects of solutions on the development of defence doctrine. Finland will continue with its participation in international cooperation relating to both the aim on a total ban and mine clearance."@en1
