**What it does not test.** This does not establish that the centre is funded, built or staffed, only that Finland has stated an intention to build it gradually.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. Just an intent to build with Baltic states; unfunded, unbuilt. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
