Finland passes enhanced surveillance bills without a vote

Parliament approved a package of intelligence law reforms in a nearly-empty plenary chamber on Monday afternoon. Finnish lawmakers effectively approved two bills which will enhance the surveillance capabilities of military and civil intelligence agencies. On that dramatic day, parliament approved the content of the surveillance bills, and since there was no opposition to the legislation on Monday, the bills were approved without a vote. Negotiations concerning the legislation came to a standstill last month over constitutional concerns.
