lausuntajäsenteillä

Lausuntajäsenteillä, often translated as "opinion members" or "stakeholder representatives," are individuals appointed to participate in advisory bodies or committees within Finnish public administration. These members are typically chosen to represent specific interest groups, sectors, or communities that are affected by the decisions or policies being discussed. The primary role of a lausuntajäsene is to provide expertise, perspectives, and feedback from their represented constituency during the formulation and review of legislation, policies, or strategic plans.

The appointment of lausuntajäsenteillä aims to ensure that a wide range of viewpoints are considered in the decision-making process. This can lead to more informed, balanced, and practical outcomes. These members are not necessarily full-time civil servants but rather individuals with relevant experience or affiliation with the groups they represent. Their contributions are considered advisory, meaning they offer input but do not typically hold voting power in the way elected officials do. The specific composition and mandate of these advisory groups can vary depending on the ministry, agency, or specific policy area. The process of selecting lausuntajäsenteillä often involves consultation with relevant organizations or a call for applications.
