Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen declared on Friday that his government had been and would continue to be closely involved in the talks.
The government has promised to lower corporate tax more than promised in the government programme as a sweetener. On the employee side, the government has offered an extra employee benefit to be paid during furloughs or temporary layoffs.
