Jari Koskinen Honoured with "2015 Opinion Leader in Forestry" Title
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Former minister (2002-03, 2011-14) and MP (1996-2009) Jari Koskinen has been
honoured with the "2015 Opinion Leader in Forestry" title. When acting as
Minister of Agriculture and Forestry in the Katainen administration between
2011 and 2014, he had a strong influence on amending forestry legislation. The
selection was published at OP's Forest Day event in Jyväskylä on 1 June 2015.
- Under Koskinen, market economy was successfully brought into forestry. The
sector has embarked on a new growth path, one of the reasons for this being a
forestry policy reform. Koskinen is a highly experienced forestry expert both at
political level and in practice. This made it considerably easier to reform
forestry policy, explains the jury.
Every year, OP Financial Group rewards a private individual, working group or
organisation in recognition of his/its contribution in the forestry sector. The
jury comprised Esa Härmälä, Director General of Metsähallitus; Juha Ojala,
Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry; Mikko Tiirola,
Chairman of the Forestry Council; and Panu Kallio, Vice President, and Tapio
Tilli, Forest Service Manager, of OP Financial Group .
Past holders of this title include opera singer Jorma Hynninen, film director
Markku Pölönen, Permanent Secretary Sirkka Hautojärvi, Secretary of State Raimo
Sailas, forest management associations when they celebrated their 100th
anniversary, Director of the Forestry Group of the Central Union of Agricultural
Producers and Forest Owners Juha Hakkarainen, Executive Director of the Finnish
