a 2008 transparency international report noted a remarkable lack of transparency in finnish political finance, reinforcing demands for greater transparency; in 2007, the groupe d'états contre la corruption (greco) stressed that corruption should be better noticed in election financing. the 2007 finnish campaign finance scandal erupted the following spring, with nine government ministers and several members of parliament lacking transparency in their election-funding reports. since the law had no penalties for false fund reporting by elected politicians, the conservative national coalition party and rural centre party have not demanded the resignations of the convicted politicians. according to the 2009 act on candidate election funding, presidential candidates, parliamentarians, and deputies must declare all funding for an election campaign; donors of over €1,500 must be named.
