Summary
The sixth item on the agenda concerns the third reading of Draft Act 400, initiated by the Government of the Republic, regarding the amendment of the Motor Insurance Act and related amendments to other acts. The goal is to strengthen compensation for non-pecuniary damage, increase the transparency and fairness of the system, and provide victims with better means for submitting claims, including reducing the need for litigation. The Centre Party faction submitted amendments that increase compensation for non-pecuniary damage and enhance the monitoring of public information, thereby making the system more user-friendly and transparent. The discussion also focused on extending motor insurance coverage to electric scooters, the wording and scope of application of which may create unequal treatment and require further clarification.

Profiling Eesti Keskerakonna fraktsioonAI Summary
Anastassia Kovalenko-Kõlvart emphasized that compensation for non-pecuniary damage has remained unregulated for years, and the Center Party's proposals increase the compensation and make the process more transparent. This is achieved by requiring the insurer to determine the extent of the victim's non-pecuniary damage and to publish the 20 largest compensations on the Motor Insurance Fund's website, making it easier for people to compare and receive fair compensation. Furthermore, the entire system will become cheaper and more understandable. However, the draft bill also includes the regulation of the expansion of electric scooters, as well as the issue of inequalities and state aid, which the Center Party plans to further improve in the future.
