Usage notes edit
- (decree; executive order): In Finnish legislation, asetus is a legal statute inferior to laki and it may be issued by the Government, the President of the Republic, or an individual ministry of Finland. Officially, the term decree is used as the sole translation of asetus into English, regardless of the issuing body. As an asetus functions as an instrument that specifies the terminology of a laki or the implementation thereof, and is enforceable only if it is in accordance therewith, it is analogically used as a translation of executive order issued by a US President.
