Jyrki Katainen, Chairman of the National Coalition Party of Finland, expresses his deepest condo­lences to the family of EPP President Wilfried Martens. President Martens passed away last night.

?We have lost a great European and a founding father of the European People?s Party. Mr Martens left us a great legacy: he strongly believed in and tirelessly worked for the united Europe we know today. He will be fondly remem­bered as a great European leader and a distin­guished colleague?, says Katainen.
