Sir, - In recent weeks we have heard much about Northern European values being applied to the European Commission. This is seen as one of the reasons for the recent debacle in the EU. Recently, however, while reading one of those interesting trivia books, Mind Boggles (Lagoon Books, 1996), I came across this interesting fact: "Finland (EU Member 1995) has the highest rate of fraud in the world, with 2,064 frauds reported per 100,000 people." - Yours, etc., Barry Hazel,
