Analysis
Summary
The agenda item addressed the first reading of Draft Act 436 on the amendment of the Aviation Act, initiated by the Government of the Republic. Climate Minister Kristen Michal explained that the main objective of the draft act is to create a legal basis for cooperation between the Estonian Military Academy and the Estonian Aviation Academy in ensuring pilot training. Since the Estonian Military Academy performs military duties that fall outside the scope of the EASA Basic Regulation for civil aviation, a decision on applicability by the Climate Minister is necessary. Furthermore, the draft act resolves deficiencies in the legal framework for defence aviation by bringing the legal bases into compliance with the principles of current law and granting the Minister of Defence the necessary authorization norms. Andres Sutt, representative of the leading committee, the Economic Affairs Committee, confirmed that this is an urgent amendment concerning a narrow circle of parties. The committee made a consensus proposal to conclude the first reading and shorten the deadline for submitting amendments.
