Summary
The seventh question focused on the glitches and their underlying causes that emerged during the rollout of the new land cadastre information system. Mart Maastik asked who was responsible for the confusion and when the system would become fully operational, given that surveying work—and consequently the restoration of boundaries, the execution of pre-cadastral planning, and the clarification of boundaries—has resulted in delays for both private individuals and local municipalities. Answers were sought regarding both the technical and organizational aspects of the system, and explanations were provided concerning the adoption of the new point-based concept and the introduction of 'minu.kataster.ee'. While this transition has caused some inconveniences, its objective is to centralize cadastre services into a unified and secure system.

The country addressed a dilemma: whether to fix the old systems or build entirely new ones.
