Helsingin Sanomat - International Edition - People: "New legislation aims at preventing fraudulent fund-rising efforts
print this
New proposed legislation is aimed at giving officials more power to react to fraudulent fund-raising efforts.
'The faith and confidence of the citizens in fund raising drives must be restored', said Minister of the Interior Kari Rajam�ki (SDP) at a press conference on Thursday. Shortly before that, the government had decided on the content of a bill for a new law on fund raising drives.
Under the proposal, organisations seeking a fund-raising permit will need to give more detailed information than before on how the drive is to be implemented, and what the money is to be used for.
