Summary
The sole item on today's agenda was the first reading and final vote on Draft Resolution 366 of the Riigikogu, submitted by the Finance Committee, titled "Recall of a Riigikogu Member from the Council of the Bank of Estonia and Appointment of a New Member." Annely Akkermann, Chair of the Finance Committee, presented the draft resolution, explaining that the change stemmed from Ester Karuse’s departure from the Estonian Centre Party faction, meaning she no longer represents the faction on the Council of the Bank of Estonia.
According to the draft resolution, Ester Karuse was recalled from the Council, and Lauri Laats, the candidate nominated by the Centre Party faction, was appointed in her place, having provided his consent. The Finance Committee discussed the draft resolution on January 23 and proposed that the final vote be held immediately in the plenary session. Debate was not opened, as the factions did not wish to take the floor. The draft resolution was put to a secret final vote, where it was adopted with 64 votes in favor (1 against, 3 abstentions), thereby confirming Lauri Laats as a member of the Council of the Bank of Estonia.
