Those of you who remember meetings
here years, even decades ago -
:32:58
when decisions about
new production lines -
:33:05
or new paper types or
grenade casings were made -
:33:10
may consider this rubber duck
out of place -
:33:17
or even amusing.
:33:20
But as I've said,
the future of the group -
:33:24
and Finnish industry lies here.
:33:30
We lost the weapons industry
to Swedes a long time ago -
:33:33
and soon we can only raise
our hands, watching helplessly -
:33:37
how the tiny Japanese steal
the paper and the timber markets.
:33:43
Wallenberg's offer is splendid,
you all know that.
:33:47
I hope you also know
that this is our only chance.
:33:52
We cannot afford to wait, to "pause
for breath", as somebody suggested.
:33:59
That makes you as good as dead
in the international market.
