By Plenary Sessions: Lauri Hussar

The primary legislative focus is the amendment of the President of the Republic Election Act (Bill 684), specifically to shift the deadlines for candidate submission earlier and to grant candidates the right to address the Riigikogu. The speaker is the originator of this initiative and stresses that these changes are part of a democracy package and must be adopted prior to next year’s presidential elections.

The legislative focus is directed toward completing and initiating proceedings for government-initiated draft legislation. Key topics include the first reading of Draft Act 683, which concerns amendments to the Planning Act and related legislation. The presenter is currently handling the completion of the first reading of Draft Act 701 and setting the deadline for submitting amendments.

A legislative focus is lacking; the emphasis is on clarifying the rules of parliamentary procedure and the regulations for conducting the session. The Speaker is engaged in maintaining institutional order.

The main legislative priority is introducing the bill to amend the Law on the Status of a Member of the Riigikogu, which aims to reduce the maximum limit for expense allowances. Furthermore, he/she is focusing on the correct interpretation and implementation of the Riigikogu Internal Rules and Procedure Act, particularly concerning the rules governing Question Time.

The legislative focus is on supporting a specific bill concerning security and technology. The proponent acts as both an advocate and, simultaneously, an overseer of legal safeguards, concentrating on the granularity of the bill's provisions.

Insufficient data

The focus is on clarifying the government's policy and legal position regarding the jurisdictional relationship of the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The aim is to compel the minister to take a stance on the actions of Kirill and the justifications provided by the EOC-MP, which indicates the necessity for political or legislative intervention.

The legislative focus centers on taxing the banking sector and collecting state budget revenue. The speaker serves as a critical scrutinizer of current or proposed fiscal measures, demanding that data be presented to verify the claims made by the previous finance minister.

The legislative focus is aimed at strategically strengthening the Riigikogu's role in foreign policy, calling for closer cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The priority is the recognition and development of the importance of parliamentary diplomacy.

There is no legislative focus; the speech concentrates on the internal conduct and traditions of the parliament. Past behavior is analyzed (attendance in the chamber, the election of the president), but no new legislative priorities are presented, nor are any proposals made regarding draft legislation.

The legislative focus is currently on the draft legislation aimed at reducing the expense compensation for members of the Riigikogu (Parliament), a bill which the speaker himself initiated and is spearheading. The objective is to ensure the law is adopted, generating savings while simultaneously preserving the Riigikogu's operational capacity. The speaker stresses that the adoption of this bill sends a message of shared sacrifice and consensus.

The legislative focus is centered on the draft bill's constitutional conformity and the technical requirements for its enactment. The speaker opposes this specific proposal, arguing it is legally defective, despite supporting its goal (making savings by cutting costs related to members of the Riigikogu).

The primary legislative focus is on amending the Riigikogu Member Status Act to reduce the maximum limit for expense allowances to 25% of the official salary. The speaker is the initiator and presenter of this cost-saving bill, stressing that the change will not impact the Riigikogu’s capacity to fulfill its constitutional duties.

There is no legislative focus; the emphasis is rather on participating in the parliament's leadership structure and seeking a high procedural office, rather than initiating or supporting specific bills.

The focus is on supporting diplomatic and lobbying activities aimed at influencing the legislative decisions of foreign countries (the USA). The active role of the Riigikogu Foreign Affairs Committee in these persuasion efforts is also mentioned.
