“The Sea is unaware of national borders; it is indifferent to the location of sources of discharges. When working for the Sea, we too need to seek co-operation across those national borders. To be able to do this, we need back-up from the state and the politicians. We greatly value the patronage of the President of the Republic of Finland Sauli Niinistö. After a will has been expressed at the highest political level, our job is to roll up the sleeves and strive for concrete results.”

Juha Nurminen, Chairman of the Board, John Nurminen Foundation
