Marin repeated on Yle that the total volume of the EU COVID-19 recovery package must be reduced, and the share of direct assistance must be lower.
In addition, Marin said Finland insists that the principles of "rule of law mechanism" be included in the results of the ongoing EU summit. Finland put forward the principle that the use of EU funding must be tied with the requirement that rule of law and joint values are applied in the receiver countries.
Marin said that if an agreement looks possible the talks should continue until Monday.
Germany news agency dpa, citing EU diplomats, reported on Sunday evening that the "Frugal Four" has suggested paring back the overall size of the proposed EU recovery fund from 750 billion euros to 700 billion euros in a bid to break the deadlock.
"Under the suggestion, half this 700 billion euros would be paid out as grants, and half as loans," dpa said. (1 euro = 1.14 U.S. dollars)
