Regional policy
15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, information briefing 1 decisions
Decision: At the end of spring, the government decided that 40% of entrepreneurship and environmental measures must reach beyond the golden rings; previously, a large portion of these measures had reached the golden rings. The next stage involves a more detailed analysis and reporting, with submissions to the government by the end of the year that will determine the scope and form of the continued distribution. There are also plans to ensure that 38% of measures reach rural areas, with 10% already distributed; the aim is to strengthen regional representation and cooperation between local governments, businesses, and universities. This was a collegial decision, and its implementation will focus on cooperation and the integration of regional policy into various fields (education, social affairs, security, infrastructure), and not solely focusing on spatial maps.
