Wild Taiga, a group of 45 small tourism enterprises, offers refreshment and recreation for body and soul. Well-being the Finnish way is seen as a comprehensive experience, fresh air and out-door activities combined with good and healthy food, based on local ingredients from the farms and forests. The cuisine in this part of the world bears elements from both western and eastern cultural spheres. Relatively new for the ordinary tourist, but exciting and interesting, wildlife watching is fast becoming a popular pastime for visitors to Northern Finland.
From humble beginnings just a few years ago this unique opportunity is now available in many places, especially in the North-Eastern region of Kainuu. So much so that Wild Taiga, offering a combination of wildlife watching and other outdoor activities supported by an insight into local heritage and traditions plus a world-class chamber music festival, recently won the title of Finland?s emerging tourist destination of excellence in the European Commission project Destinations of Excellence.

epa05012340 Old exhaust pipes lie in a junk yard in Peine,†Germany, 05 November 2015. German prosecutors, who are already conducting a full-scale inquiry into the Volkswagen Dieselgate case, say they are studying whether the German carmaker's admission that carbon dioxide data is false also merits an inquiry. A preliminary study was under way to establish if Volkswagen's actions could have broken German law. That is the first step in German justice procedures before a full-scale inquiry is launched. The Dieselgate scandal widened this week when the group also admitted to CO2 emissions irregularities affecting up to 800,000 VW cars, which could cost Europe's biggest carmaker another 2 billion euros.

The British Government has announced it will repeal the 1972 European Communities Act with the Great Repeal Bill but concerns have been raised over the use of called Henry VIII clauses.
