Finally, the Finns have ratified the Lisbon Treaty. Now, the main complaints concern the fact that the ratification happened supposedly behind closed doors and amongst the political elite. A good idea would have been to maybe distribute a booklet to all households, with the basic information that touches upon everyday life. However, such a compact work can be found at the information office of the European Parliament in Finland. In other countries this is surely the case as well.
