The European Commission vice-president Kristalina Georgieva, responsible for budget and human resources, is scheduled to visit Helsinki on Thursday at the invitation of Minister for European Affairs and Foreign Trade Lenita Toivakka, said an official press release.
 
During their meeting, Toivakka and Georgieva will discuss efficient use of EU resources, in particular the EU budget.
 
During her visit, Georgieva will also have a meeting with Prime Minister Alexander Stubb, said the release. 
 
"Europe's key challenge is to spur growth, create more and better jobs, reduce disparities and inequalities and contribute to security in a fragile international environment. The EU's budget is only about one per cent of the Union's GNI and we need to get the most out of every euro to yield results," said a joint statement by Vice-President Georgieva and Minister Toivakka ahead of the visit.
 
This year's competitions for EU careers will be published from 19 March 2015. 
 
The Commission is committed to equal opportunities and has a target of 40% women in management positions by 2019, according to the release.
