By Plenary Sessions: Ando Kiviberg

The speaker calls for improvements to the legal framework, citing the necessity of putting things in order, which points to a desire to reach a solution and move forward within a better-regulated legal environment. Simultaneously, he/she demands strict adherence to the session rules to ensure that the presenters have the opportunity to respond without interruption.

The speaker is open to cooperation and compromise in improving the draft bill, calling on colleagues to submit good ideas, which will be accepted. At the same time, however, he remains unyielding on fundamental issues (such as ending the monopoly) and demands that order be established.

In the Commission’s work, the speaker emphasizes consensus-based decisions (such as those regarding amendments and procedural deadlines), which signals a readiness for cooperation. In the debate, he attempts to take on the role of a mediator, urging colleagues to streamline the legal framework and defend people's rights in court, even while acknowledging security concerns.

The speaker views the courts as partners in the reform, but voices significant frustration regarding their indecisiveness and shifting stances. They are seeking a solution for how to maintain control over the process despite these inconsistencies, noting the difficulties in achieving effective collaboration.

The style of cooperation is open to institutional dialogue, which is demonstrated by the hearing of the National Audit Office representatives (Janar Holm, Airi Mikli) in the committee. Procedural decisions, such as placing the draft bill on the agenda and appointing a representative, were made by consensus in the committee, although the proposal to reject the draft bill was not unanimous (7 in favor, 3 against).

The cooperative style with the minister is supportive and constructive, conveying the hope that the government will address the issues raised and arrive at solutions. We emphasize the necessity for thorough deliberation, negotiation, and effective explanatory work with local municipalities and communities, particularly concerning water supply matters. The concluding statement is issued on behalf of the party (Eesti 200), signifying internal political unity.
