The Eduskuntas own bodies are generally constituted during the first annual session of a new four-year parliamentary term and serve until the end of the term. Seats are allocated in proportion to the relative sizes of parliamentary groups.
The Bank of Finland operates under the guarantee and care of the Eduskunta in the manner stipulated in law.
