Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen (Centre) rejected plans to set up a multinational system for patrolling the EU’s external borders, which member states of the European Union made on Friday. The issue has been a sensitive one for Finland, which has long insisted that responsibility for guarding the border must remain in national hands.

EU leaders attending the summit, which concluded in Brussels on Friday, nevertheless declared that the Union should look INTO phpbb_the possibilities of establishing a European border guard system.
