2025-06-16
XV Riigikogu, V Session, Plenary Sitting
Political Position
The political stance centers on the rationale behind the timing chosen for implementing amendments to the Accounting Act, specifically questioning why a two-year delay was selected. This position is primarily policy- and outcome-driven, highlighting the necessity of understanding the implications once the European sustainability reports are completed. This, in turn, signals a concern regarding regulatory stability. The overall approach remains moderately skeptical concerning the long-term viability of the proposed solution.
