Summary
The agenda item was the second reading of draft resolution 542 of the Riigikogu, "Increasing the Republic of Estonia's participation in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development," submitted by the Government of the Republic. On behalf of the Finance Committee, Tanel Kiik gave a presentation, stating that no proposals were received from members of the Riigikogu or factions by the deadline for submitting amendments, and therefore only linguistic and technical clarifications were incorporated into the draft. The lead committee decided unanimously to propose conducting a final vote on the draft. During the presentation, it was explained that the increase in participation is primarily necessary to support projects in Ukraine, as the volume of work of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has increased there due to war damage. Estonia's contribution to the capital increase (a total of 4 billion euros) is 4 million euros. Following brief discussions, a final vote was taken, as a result of which resolution 542 was adopted.
