I thought HMD Global was a Chinese company, that had “rented” the brand “Nokia” from the actual Nokia company?

Edit: I am remembering completely wrong

They indeed got the license from Nokia, but are Finnish themselves too

That’s quite interesting, I also assumed they were Chinese. Them being EU based should be a bigger deal

A subsidiary of Foxconn has a pretty big stake in HMD and are also the manufacturer. They're Taiwanese, but that may explain it.
