By Plenary Sessions: Mario Kadastik

Identifies strong opposition from members of the EKRE faction (Henn Põlluaas, Jaak Valge, Ants Frosch, Rene Kokk, Martin Helme, Mart Helme, Kalle Grünthal), who submitted a multitude of amendments and raised questions regarding financing, environmental protection, and the advantages afforded to foreign companies.
