Quote: <BR> <BR>"Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen says he is unaware of any ultimatum issued by mobile phone giant Nokia to leave Finland if legislation allowing employers to monitor staff e-mails is not enacted. <BR>Speaking in a YLE interview programme, he said such a threat might have been made at “a lower level” but he insisted no information had reached government ears. <BR>The newspaper Helsingin Sanomat reported on Sunday that Nokia had threatened to leave Finland if new legislation allowing firms to closely monitor employees’ e-mails was not enacted. <BR>Many legal experts have criticized the legislation saying it contravenes employees’ rights. Vanhanen believes the law is justified in order to prevent industrial espionage. He added it would be blue-eyed to think such activities did not occur in Finland. It was essential to protect Finnish innovations, he stressed. <BR>................. <BR>.................
