The police and other administrative units under the Ministry of Interior are braced for staff cuts.
During the budgetary framework talks it was agreed that the administration should save up to 25 million euros.
Jukka Aalto, director of administration and development unit of the administrative staff in the Ministry of Interior says it is clear that the police will not be spared staff cuts.
The police form two-thirds in the Ministry of the interior’s administration staff and the border guards are just shy of a fifth.
Cuts are also expected in the emergency answering points, institutions of emergency training, immigration service, reception centres as well as in the administration’s IT centres.
The savings are likely to include cuts in staff as the wages in the labour intensive administrative sector are too high.
