Countries like to leave a mark on their six-month presidency of the European Union. Finland is no exception. A visit to the Finnish presidency website gives you the choice of a news review in English, French, Finnish – or Latin. The “conspectus rerum latinus” is lovingly translated each week, providing such gems as ministri aerarii et praefecti aergentariae centralis (finance ministers and central bank governors), colloquia Unionis Oeconomicae et Monetariae (talks on economic and monetary union) and praeparationes ad amplificationem communitatis (preparations for community enlargement).
