Summary
Item 11 on the agenda concerns the second reading of the draft law amending the Radiation Act and other related laws, initiated by the Republic of Estonia's Government. The presenter is the Chairman of the Environment Committee, Yoko Alendre. The draft is technical and the field of radiation is specialized, therefore representatives of various interest groups were included (the dental profession, the radiology association, the Estonian Association of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics, scientists from the university of technology, radiation protection specialists from the Environmental Agency and the Ministry of Climate). The discussion was thorough and the committee wished to find the best solutions, as the subject is characterized by complexity and a lack of expert knowledge. The rating session for compromise proposals held on June 5th was consensus-based: all proposed amendments should be supported, after which it was decided to conclude the second reading and place the draft on the plenary session’s agenda for June 11th. A final vote is also planned for June 18th, and if the second reading is concluded, the draft will be put to a final vote. In conclusion, good cooperation was emphasized and the goal is to reduce bureaucracy and improve the implementation of the law.
