By Plenary Sessions: Varro Vooglaid

The legislative focus is directed toward the quality and thoroughness of bill processing, opposing the swift and insufficiently justified rejection of bills during the first reading. The priority is to ensure that bills addressing public concerns receive comprehensive debate, involving experts.

The legislative focus is on ensuring the quality and constitutionality of lawmaking, requiring strict adherence to the HÕNTE rules and mandating constitutional analysis in the explanatory memoranda accompanying draft legislation. The speaker is critical of the ineffectiveness of mechanisms designed to safeguard the status of the language (specifically, the fine rates) and opposes laws adopted in violation of procedural rules.

Not enough data

The focus is on initiating investigation and action regarding public health risks, where necessary, and supporting the presenter's core proposal, which likely requires legislative or regulatory intervention. The second priority is ensuring the accuracy and transparency of taxation data, which may point to the need to revise the methodology used for calculating the tax burden.

The primary legislative priority is amending the Public Prosecutor's Office Act (Bill 105) to broaden the scope of the Ministry of Justice’s administrative oversight. The speaker is a strong proponent of this bill, viewing it as a mechanism to ensure more effective control over the work of prosecutors.

The speaker’s focus is primarily on criticizing the existing government’s policies and inaction, rather than initiating new legislation. He demands specific policy measures: the establishment of border controls for Ukrainian citizens and the implementation of family-friendly measures (such as the Hungarian model) to resolve the demographic crisis. He is strongly opposed to the government’s proposed changes to family policy.

The legislative priority involves amending the Vital Statistics Registration Act to simplify the registration of children born outside a healthcare institution, allowing this to be done based on a family doctor's certificate.

He/She is aware that the bill is not expected to proceed beyond the first reading.

The legislative focus is clearly on tax reform, either by initiating or supporting a specific bill. The priority is lowering the VAT rate to 18.8 percent.
