By Plenary Sessions: Raimond Kaljulaid

The speaker emphasizes the National Defence Committee's openness to substantive cooperation, regardless of the division between the coalition and the opposition. He calls upon Isamaa and EKRE to engage in constructive cooperation regarding the draft Weapons Act, in order to achieve a common and positive result for the security of the Estonian state. He is open to hearing absolutely every substantive argument for reducing bureaucracy.

The collaborative style is consensual and open, emphasizing the unanimous decision by the National Defence Committee to conclude the first reading of the draft bill. Cooperation with the executive branch was also noted, given that the Minister of Defence and ministry officials participated in the discussion.

The speaker praises the opposition (Isamaa chairman Urmas Reinsalu) for offering solutions, indicating a readiness for a substantive discussion regarding the funding sources. He emphasizes that personal cooperation with the Minister of Defense is "very good," but institutional cooperation between the Riigikogu National Defense Committee and the Ministry of Defense requires better synchronization.
