EU grants Finland 32 million euros to improve eastern border security
Published
Finland has received significant funding of 32 million euros from the European Union. The funding is intended for the development of technology for the Border Guard, specifically for the acquisition of drone surveillance and counter-drone systems.
With the help of new technology, the Border Guard can monitor and supervise Finland's borders more effectively than before. The use of drones has become more common in border control, and it is therefore important that the authorities have access to modern equipment that can detect and, if necessary, prevent unauthorized drone activity.
The security of Finland's eastern border has been a key topic of discussion recently. The support granted by the EU strengthens Finland's ability to respond to changing security challenges and improves the monitoring of the entire European Union's external borders.
The acquisitions will be carried out in the near future, and their goal is to raise the technical level of border control to meet today's requirements. This investment is part of a broader effort to secure Finland's borders in all situations.
