(EU law and the division of competences between the state of Finland and the autonomous region of Åland)

No. 1-2016
When Finland and Åland joined the EU they both gave up elements of their own legislative competences in favour of the EU. At the same time it was concluded that the EU-membership would not change the division of competences between Åland and Finland. In reality, the issue has proven to be more complex and EU-membership has on several occasions raised the question as to how the division of competences between Åland and Finland should be interpreted when it comes to implementation of EU law.
