Finland
For Finland, you can browse companies at the official trade registry's site: http://www.ytj.fi/english/default.asp?path=605 The search page: http://www.ytj.fi/english/Yrit_sel2.asp?kielikoodi=3&path=605 (don't forget to specify the "company form", for example for Nokia it should be "public limited company").This database does not give you financial records. For those, you need to turn to commercial providers, either Suomen Asiakastieto, which has an English language service (online payment with Visa possible) at: http://www.asiakastieto.fi/en/index.shtml or TietoEnator's ePortti, which is only in Finnish: https://eportti.tietopalvelut.com/

Article 9 of the Law provides that the access to information may be restricted if the disclosure could jeopardize national security, defense and international relations, public safety and security, commercial, economic private and public interests, privacy of the individuals, etc. Montenegro is one of the last countries in the region of SEE that adopted a Law on Free Access to Information.
