Highlights

  • En pidä tätä järkevänä, että meillä on niin erilainen sääntely yksityiselle sektorille kuin julkiselle sektorille.

    In favour with reservations · Statutory cooling-off period for ministers

  • Tämä itse esitys liittyen tähän CSC:hen ja sen hallinnoimien supertietokoneiden käyttöön ja varsinkin niiden käytön edistämiseen on erittäin perusteltu.

    In favour · Opening CSC supercomputer capacity to companies

  • Mitä tulee itse tähän esitykseen, jota me nyt käsittelemme, niin tämähän liittyy enemmänkin nimenomaan hallinnollisen taakan vähentämiseen, ja tätäkin esitystä voi kyllä tukea.

    In favour · Mitigating carbon border mechanism penalties

  • Kyllä nyt toivoisin, että tämä rahaa ei ole -politiikka myös tarkoittaisi siellä hallituksessakin sitä, että tätä yhteisöveropäätöstä arvioitaisiin uudestaan.

    Against · Supplementary budget for 2026

  • Siksipä tämä 140 miljoonaa euroa, jonka tämä muutos vähentää valtion verotuloja, olisi järkevämpää käyttää toisaalla, esimerkiksi työn verotuksen alentamiseen tavallisten suomalaisten osalta.

    Against · Lowering the reduced VAT rate

  • Siksipä vähän ihmettelen, kun valtiontalouden näkökulmasta se vastuullisempi ratkaisu olisi ollut tehdä tämä sama sieltä työmatkavähennyksen kautta.

    Against · Lowering taxes on transport fuels

Jäin pohtimaan, että tässä kun on nyt kolme vuotta tätä keskustelua käyty, niin pitäisikö meidän nyt pikkuhiljaa päästä yhteisymmärrykseen siitä, mikä on se luku, jota ihan yhteisesti tässä salissa käyttäisimme, kun puhumme niistä toimenpiteistä, joilla hallitus on julkista taloutta vahvistanut.…

Itsekin päädyn siihen, että kyllähän tässä vuosi vuodelta digitaalinen viranomaisasiointi yleistyy. Se on päivänselvä asia.

Minusta tähänkin problematiikkaan eli siis siihen, miksi tietyissä in-house-yhtiöissä yksittäisten omistajien omistusosuudet ovat todella pieniä, itse asiassa tässä lainsäädännössä tehdään juuri se poikkeus, ja sehän liittyy ulosmyyntirajaan.

Vaikka käsittelyssä on lisätalousarvio, niin ehkä on syytä jo heti alkuun korjata tämä edustaja Reijosen tulkinta siitä, mistä se johtuu, että EU ei vaadi meiltä lisätoimenpiteitä.
