Valtamedia ei informoinut kansaa siitä, millaisia "meriittejä" Halosella on.
Yhteiskunnallisesti merkittävimmät disdemokraattiset asiat ovat tässä:
1. Halonen on Koiviston konklaavin asiakirjojen salaaja.
2. Nato on ollut pitkään salarakas.
Ulkoministeri Tarja Halonen oli salaajana, kun EU-ministeriryhmän Maastricht-neuvottelujen sulkemispöytäkirja salattiin.

at the Summit Meeting of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council
Distinguished Secretary-General,
Esteemed President Havel,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I extend my warm thanks to President Havel and the Government of the Czech
Republic for their invitation and for hosting this historic meeting in
Prague.
NATO has just made the decision to invite seven applicant countries, among
them our neighbours Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, to begin negotiations for
membership. Finland wishes to congratulate the forthcoming new members and
NATO.
This historic step reaffirms the Alliance's open door policy in Europe.
Simultaneously the European Union is preparing for enlargement. These two
separate but parallel enlargement processes will build a more stable and
secure Europe.
Finland hopes that the EU and NATO can agree on their mutual co-operation
without delay. While emphasising the independent roles of the EU and NATO it
will be necessary to avoid constructing double military structures in
Europe. The European Union is shouldering its responsibility for both
European and international security, but is nevertheless first and foremost
a civilian power. Any major military crisis-management operations undertaken
by the Union must be done in close cooperation with NATO.
Finland values Partnership for Peace cooperation with NATO. The experience
gained so far is a good basis to build on. Finland welcomes today's
decisions on the future of the Partnership. Because of new kinds of threats
and challenges, especially international terrorism, new forms of cooperation
must be found. Finland will contribute to further developing partnership
activities and will continue to participate actively in crisis management in
the Balkans.
The unanimously adopted UN Security Council resolution 1441 on Iraq is an
important demonstration of the strength of international cooperation. Iraq
must unconditionally comply with the demands of the international community.
It is in everyone's interest to peacefully deal with the threat posed by
weapons of mass destruction. Similarly, military actions would be the last
resort in maintaining international peace and security.
Mr. Secretary-General,
Our common goal is to strengthen security, in all its aspects, in Europe and
everywhere in the world. In this endeavour, we need concerted efforts of all
nations and all organizations.
