Summary
First reading of Bill 380, initiated by the Isamaa faction, concerning amendments to the State Property Act and the Land Cadastre Act. The discussion focused on how the state can create legitimate mechanisms regarding national defense objects to ensure state interest and public security, including the possibility of taking private property into state use and, if necessary, returning the immovable property to the private owner. The issue of alienation occurring via public auction was also addressed, along with resulting risk-related situations, such as the distinction of national defense objects and the impact of the validity of detailed plans on planning. During the processing of the bill, it became clear that although the ideas are important, there is no unified consensus within the committee, and various solutions are being considered that could better balance the state's defense and property interests.
Decisions Made 2
Draft Law 380 is rejected at the first reading. Voting result: 35 in favor, 2 against, no abstentions. Therefore, the draft law is dropped from the proceedings.
The Commission decided to proceed with two alternative solutions: (1) revoking the detailed plan based on a directive issued by the minister of the corresponding administrative area prior to the transfer of ownership, and (2) submitting a written appeal to the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Finance to develop alternative methods and solutions for changing the designated purpose. Furthermore, the draft resolution was consensually placed on the agenda for the next proceedings on April 17th.
