Attitudes towards environmental reforms reflect the division seen in the parliamentary election campaign. The Greens are the most positive, and the Finns Party candidates the most negative. In the Yle service, all Green League and Left Alliance candidates support a ban on cars using only fossil fuel by 2030. A ban gets a narrow majority among Social Democrats, but majority of conservatives and Centrists are against it. A 55 percent majority of the candidates would accept a joint EU tax on flying.

Trade sanctions between neighboring Russia and the EU split candidate opinions. Sympathy towards Russia is widest in the populist Finns Party, but also seen in the Center Party. In the match-me service of Alma Media, the lifting of sanctions got backing from roughly a third in both of them. Understanding towards Russia was fairly high also among the Christian Democrats and the Left Alliance.

The Green candidates showed the toughest stand in favor of maintaining the sanctions. Also the Social Democrats and the conservative National Coalition Party candidates were clearly supporting continued sanctions.

In Finland, the whole country forms one constituency in the EU Parliamentary election. Observers say this favors people with national visibility and incumbent MEPs. The election takes place in Finland on May 26, and 13 MEPs will be elected.
