By Plenary Sessions: Mario Kadastik

Opposition is mounted against those who claim oil shale is competitive and cheap, refuting these assertions with economic facts. The criticism is also aimed at the bureaucratic machine and the constant dragging out of procedures, which the draft legislation seeks to limit. The criticism is policy- and procedure-based.

The criticism is aimed at procedural delays and indecision ("we got stuck arguing"), which have resulted in large fines and financial losses. The Reform Party is urged to clearly support the draft bill to end this expensive situation and prevent the fine amount from increasing over the summer.

The opposition is aimed at correcting the claims and interpretations put forward by specific colleagues (Lauri, Mart, Anti), who, in the speaker’s assessment, have misunderstood the substance of the draft bill. The criticism is policy- and fact-based, focusing on clarifying the actual impact of the support measure and the scope of the planning changes. The speaker refutes claims that this constitutes massive support or that it will drive up prices.

Insufficient data.

Direct opponents are not criticized, but the speaker parries indirect objections and common concerns. For instance, it is explained that expert foreign labor is brought in only to specific sectors, not "randomly." Furthermore, economic activity that focuses solely on internal competition is indirectly criticized ("if all we do here is cut each other's hair").
