Finland rejects proposed EU recovery package in current form

Finland's government said on Thursday it would reject the European Commission's proposal for a recovery package in its current form.

The 27 EU member states are due to discuss on June 19 a recovery proposal from the bloc's executive to raise an unprecedented 750 billion euros ($845 billion) of debt to top up joint spending to 1.1 trillion euros in 2021-27.
