Finnish

me liikuimme lainsäätäjinä molemmissa tapauksissa eli molemmissa vaihtoehdoissa hieman kuin skyllan ja kharybdiksen välissä, kuten vanha odysseus antiikissa, aivan yksinkertaisesti siksi, että me luomme molemmissa tapauksissa epäoikeudenmukaisuutta, toisessa tapauksessa palvelun toimittajalle ja toisessa sen vastaanottajalle.

English

in both cases, both alternatives, we as the legislator looked rather like the odysseus of ancient times negotiating his way between scylla and charybdis, quite simply because we will create injustices in either case, whether for the producer or for the recipient of the product or service.
