By Plenary Sessions: Mart Võrklaev

The speaker heavily emphasizes cooperation, pointing specifically to the "good cooperation lately" within the Finance Committee and the fact that decisions are adopted "by consensus." This signals an openness to compromise and a willingness to achieve cross-party agreement in the committee’s operations.

The speaker expressed initial interest and hope that the opposition understands the necessity of fiscal restraint and will present substantive proposals. The style of cooperation is conditional, requiring Isamaa to amend the budget and put forward concrete areas for savings, in order to achieve common ground and action.

The style of cooperation is pragmatic and inter-agency, particularly with the Ministry of Finance during the preparation of amendments to the Value Added Tax Act, where the proposed amendments were finalized by consensus. There was no substantive cooperation with the opposition (Isamaa, EKRE) during the discussion of the motor vehicle tax bill, a fact which he/she repeatedly notes with regret.
