Well, to be frank I don't know how things work over there. But I am pretty sure this won't be an unchecked decision.
Most likely the Finnish government would be close to powerless - would they like it? No. Could they stop it? Dunno. But that's my guess based on earlier transactions, like for example Ford selling out Volvo to China. The laws here in Europe/Scandinavia are pretty harmonized due to the EU...
