Summary

The agenda began with the continuation of the first reading of draft resolution 460, which had been left unfinished last week. The aforementioned draft, submitted by the Estonian Centre Party faction, concerned the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry commission to investigate circumstances related to the Rail Baltic project. Since negotiations had concluded at the previous session, the meeting immediately proceeded to a vote on the steering committee’s proposal. The steering committee had proposed rejecting draft resolution 460 in the first reading. The vote saw 48 members of the Riigikogu supporting the proposal, with 22 members voting against, and no abstentions. The proposal passed, therefore draft resolution 460 was rejected and dropped from consideration.
