Welcome to Helsinki
lyti
inn
Every capital city has a character of its own.
Some boast a magnificent past, others are
U
modern and fast-paced.
P.
Helsinki is an enchanting combination
of old and new, city and country. It is cer-
tainly a very European city - equally proud
of its modern architecture and its neoclas-
sical city centre that reminds one of old St.
Petersburg. Visitors are charmed by the
0
blue sea and the green islands, the parks and
akka
forests that surround it everywhere. And by
the abundance of northern light in summer.
You are cordially welcome to Helsinki.
We hope that you will enjoy it.

How to spend
your spare time
One of the most impressive things about Hel-
sinki is the sea, which surrounds it on three sides.
Helsinki is a city by the sea.
Whoever takes pleasure in the sea and na-
ture should visit some of Helsinki's beautiful is-
lands: the historical sea fortress Suomenlinna,
KOFF
the unique national park and open-air museum
KOFF1
on Seurasaari, the zoological park on Korkea-
saari, or the beach on Pihlajasaari. The colourful
Market Square, which itself is worth a visit, is
the place to start out on most of the sea trips.
As a seaside city Helsinki also has a lot to
offer anyone who appreciates fish. Salmon, her-
ring, pike perch, whitefish, burbot roe, crayfish
- to mention the most usual ones. And how
about other Finnish specialities: reindeer, elk,
cloudberries, arctic brambles, pies, casseroles,
or the specialities of the Russian tradition?
And if sport is more in your line, there is
a lot to do in Helsinki - both in summer and
winter. The Finns themselves are very keen on
athletics, football, ice hockey, Finnish baseball -
take your pick.
The sauna is naturally the most typical Finn-
ish way of relaxing during one's spare time - SO
don't forget to try it too.
These cute red panda brothers live
in the Helsinki Zoo on Korkeasaari
island.
A light, warm summer day in an
outdoor restaurant is a treat for
anybody.
Olympic Stadium is the meeting-
place for all sport lovers.
Linnanmäki Amusement Park is
one of the city's most popular at-
tractions.
The Market Square is the heart of
the city, where natives and tourists
meet on warm summer days.

tablished parliament, the mem-

bers of which had been elected
by universal suffrage since
1906; Finnish women were the
first in the world to be given the
vote and to be eligible for elec-
tion.
The parliamentary reforms of
1906 were passed by Nicholas
II, Tsar of Russia and Grand
Duke of Finland. Finland had
since 1809 been an autonom-
ous grand duchy belonging to
the Russian Empire. We in fact
have more cause to remember
1809 than 1917.
The birth of the Finnish state
in 1809 was one of the out-
comes of the Napoleonic wars.

Then, just as much as in
1917-1919 and 1939-1944,
the rivalries between the major
powers had a decisive influ-
ence on Finland's fate. For Fin-
land the war of 1809 meant
a break with Sweden, of which
it had for centuries been an in-
tegral part - in fact ever since
modern states began to
emerge in Scandinavia. Finland
was not a Swedish dependen-
cy or federal state; she was
part of the Kingdom of Swe-
den, and her people had the
same rights and duties as the
people of Sweden. Now it was
of the utmost significance that
when, in 1809, Finland became
a separate state, she was

Helsinki City
When and where
The main shops are downtown, all within easy
walking distance - the Esplanade in particular
being a design showcase with boutiques from
all the main names. Aleksanterinkatu and
Kaisaniemenkatu offer department stores
such as Stockmann, Aleksi 13, Pukeva, Kluuvi
and Senaatin Tori shopping precincts. Man-
nerheimintie has the Forum shopping centre
and CitySokos - while an exciting departure is
the pedestrian precinct on Iso Roobertinkatu.
Fredrikinkatu and Korkeavuorenkatu also
have a lot of interesting small boutiques.
Most shops are open 9am-5pm weekdays,
VERA
9am-2 or 3 pm on Saturdays and are closed
on Sundays. If you're pushed for time during
the day don't worry since the main depart-
ment stores stay open until 7 or 8pm during
the week and Saturdays until 5 or 6pm.
Worth knowing
Most main department stores and shops will
send your purchases direct to your home ad-
dress - saving you both worry and the 18%
purchase tax.
The other way to save purchase tax is to
SHOPPING MALL
shop where you see the Europe Tax-free
Shopping sign. You receive a cheque for the
tax amount which you cash at the airport or
harbour when you depart. This works out at
about 11% and applies to both cash and cre-

dit card purchases. You mustn't however use
the goods before leaving.
The major international credit cards and

cheques are accepted in most shops, al-
though it's always wise to check beforehand.

Helsinki Summit Meeting 1992

INFORMATION CIRCULAR NO. 2
GENERAL INFORMATON FOR DELEGATIONS
The Executive Secretariat of the CSCE Helsinki Summit 1992
presents its compliments to the Diplomatic Missions of the
Participating States of the Conference on Security and
Co-operation in Europe and to the points of contact and has
the honour to provide herewith information concerning some
technical and organizational aspects of the Summit.
1. CONFERENCE PREMISES AND FACILITIES
The CSCE Helsinki Summit 1992 will take place at the
Helsinki Fair Centre - called "Messukeskus" in Finnish -
located in northern Helsinki, some 15 minute drive away
from downtown. One of the main conference halls of the Fair
Centre will be the site of the Plenary. A limited number of
seats will be reserved for the Delegations in an auditorium
to be built there. The press gallery is situated above the
auditorium. The lay-outs of the site, the Plenary Hall
(ground floor) and the Plenary Hall/the Press Gallery
(first floor) are annexed to this circular (Annex 1, 2, 3).
The Heads of State or Government will be received at the
Northern Entrance of the Fair Centre. A working luncheon
for the Heads of State or Government is scheduled for the
first day of the meeting.
A wireless interpretation system will be used in the
Plenary Hall. Since the capacity of the Plenary Hall is
limited, there is an opportunity to follow the meeting
through earphones also in adjacent areas and through TV
screens placed on various spots at the Fair Centre.
There are going to be several meeting rooms available for
bilateral meetings during the Summit in a building annexed
to the Fair Centre.
The offices for Delegations are also located in a building
annexed to the Fair Centre. Each Delegation will have a
spacious office consisting of a working area as well as a
space for having smaller meetings at its disposal. The
office area will be equipped with desks, table lamps,
chairs, lockable cupboards and closets. One phone is to be
installed in the office. The Delegations will be charged
for the calls. The meeting area is going to be furnished
with a conference table and some chairs. Some basic office
material will be distributed into each office but the
Delegations are generally asked to provide their own office
equipment.
Delegations who wish extra equipment to be installed, (e.g.
telephones, faxes), at their own expense, are kindly asked
to contact the Executive Secretariat preferably in writing.
2. SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS AND ACCREDITATION PROCEDURES
The Executive Secretariat is responsible for the security
in the meeting premises and will work in close co-operation
with the Helsinki colice.
For the safety of all those attending the summit, access to
conference premises will be restricted to the persons
wearing an identity badge issued by the Executive
Secretariat. The Executive Secretariat emphasizes that all
Delegates must acquire a badge. The Heads of State or the
Heads of Government will be given a courtesy badge without
a photograph, but all other members of Delegations will be
provided with a badge bearing the holder's photograph. The
photo will be taken at the registration.
The participating states are requested to inform the
Executive Secretariat of the composition of their
Delegations in writing. An early notification will be
appreciated in the interest of facilitating the
registration procedures.
The Executive Secretariat will send accreditation forms for
Delegates in the near future. Appropriate fulfilling of the
forms will greatly facilitate and fasten the production of
admission badges. The fulfilled forms of each Delegation
should be returned to the Executive Secretariat preferably
in block. The Executive Secretariat would appreciate if the
forms were returned with a note indicating the protocol
order of the Delegation as well as members belonging to the
suite of the Head of State or Government.
3. ACCOMODATION
The Executive Secretariat has taken steps to ensure that
all Delegates will have proper accomodation during the
Summit. In order to secure best possible conditions for
hotel reservations and accomodation for Delegates, a
special travel agency, Area Congress Team has made advance
block bookings in a number of first class hotels in
Helsinki.
Delegations are, of course, free to make reservations on
their own but it has been agreed with the hotels concerned
that suites and rooms under the advance block reservation
can only be reserved through Area Congress Team.
To guarantee top security, the Executive Secreatariat is
planning to sign a special contract on the whole capacity
of some hotels for the Summit guests. These hotels will
have special security arrangements. The Executive
Secretariat will also provide each of these hotels with a
person who is on duty 24 hours a day. Area Congress Team
has been given the exclusive reservation rights for the
CSCE by the Executive Secretariat in the respective hotels.
Other hotels will also be under surveillance but they will
be open to other guests besides Delegates as well.
Delegations are urged to advise the Area Congress Team as
soon as possible of their room needs and to be in close
touch with it in order to secure a smooth functioning of
this arrangement. Especially those large Delegations, who
wish top security should make their hotel bookings as soon
as possible. The contact address is:
Congress Team/Area Travel Agency Ltd.

SF-00131 Helsinki
Telephone: 358-0-176 866
Telefax: 358-0-654 987
Telex:
122 783
The Executive Secretariat would like to point out that each
Delegation takes care of the payment of their accomodation
themselves. In case the Delegations have any special
wishes they should contact directly their hotels at their
earliest convenience.
4.
PRESS ARRANGEMENTS
The Executive Secretariat will send accreditation forms for
the press in the near future.
The Summit Press Center will be located in the Helsinki
Fair Centre. All services and information for accredited
press representatives will be available at the Press
Center. Entry to the Press Center will be restricted to
persons wearing an identity badge.
Press conferences and briefings can be organized with the
assistance of the press service of the Executive
Secretariat. Five rooms accomodating between 40 and 800
persons will be available to interested delegations on a
first-come first-served basis. Bookings should be made in
writing through the Press Office.
There will also be a Press Center at Helsinki-Vantaa
Airport where members of the press may cover the arrivals
and departures of the delegations.
A block reservation of hotel rooms has been made for the
representatives of the press as well. Reservations within
this quota should be made via Area Congress Team.

1. Summary. A four-party coalition government headed
by center chairman esko aho was sworn in friday, april

minister, because the national coalition party chose

the finance ministry over the mfa. An intriguing
feature in the distribution of government seats was
the government parties' lack of interest in the
defense ministry post. President koivisto remained
passive during the government formation but will
continue to direct finland's foreign policy. End
summary.
2. President koivisto today appointed a center-right
cabinet of ten men and seven women headed by center
chairman esko aho, who at 36 is the youngest prime
minister in finnish history. The center, which after
four years in opposition gained a significant victory
in last month's parliamentary elections, has 8 seats
in the new government, the moderate national coalition
party (ncp) has the swedish people's
party has 2 seats, and the christian league has a

4. The deadlock over the distribution of major
cabinet seats (ref. A) was settled late friday, april
19, when it was agreed that the center would get the
posts of prime minister, foreign minister and minister
of trade and industry. The national coalition party
had to settle for complete control of the finance
ministry (which will not be split as it was in the
