Projects and permanent bodies at the Prime Minister’s Office
The Prime Minister’s Office administers certain bodies and special research projects. The permanent bodies do not have a fixed term of office. Provisions concerning the permanent bodies are issued in acts, as in the case of the Economic Council, or in decrees. The permanent bodies produce reports of their respective fields of specialty or they handle a special duty, like the Title Board.
Projects have a fixed term. Projects of the Prime Minister’s Office are usually appointed by the Prime Minister or the State Secretary.

Government report on the future
The Government adopted in October 2009 the Foresight Report on Long-term Climate and Energy Policy. Setting a target to reduce Finland’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 per cent from the 1990 level by 2050 as part of an international effort, the report marks out the road to a low-carbon Finland in 2050.
