Finnish authorities have ordered the suspension of construction on two proposed Google (GOOG.US) data centers due to concerns over the clearing of more than 300 hectares of forest. These projects are part of Google's record €13 billion investment plan in Finland, which was announced less than a month ago and described by Google as its largest single investment in Europe. Finnish regulators stated that construction at one of the sites was carried out without a mandatory environmental impact assessment and ordered the suspension of all construction activities that would "significantly alter the environment" until October 23. Google stated that the company "did not meet its own high standards in this incident" and will comply with the regulators’ guidance.
