Glad that my country (Finland) is also on the correct side of this. Disappointed that our Nordic and Baltic neighbours are not though. Would've expected more, especially from Estonia.

Why do you think the Baltics are in favour? Are there some announcements they have made?

Sweden isn’t one of the Baltics

Because that’s what the link says.

The one in this submission? The one that we're commenting on?

The link in the submission is saying that the representatives position is mostly unknown for all the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia).

For Finland it says only 3 of 15 have opposed - which is clearly not a majority.

The “assumption” based on government position has no reference to any stated government position (I know for a fact Lithuania have expressed no such opinion, and can’t find anything related to Latvia or Estonia having done so either) - and also “assumes” all representatives (that are from different parties) are aligned, which they most likely aren’t.
