By Plenary Sessions: Mait Klaassen

The political position is one of strong support for the government-initiated amendment to the Subsoil Act, which suspends oil shale mining permits by 2025 in order to meet international CO2 reduction obligations. The stance is policy- and law-centric, emphasizing the state's duty to manage national wealth responsibly and minimize the infringement of legitimate expectation for businesses. The draft bill is presented as the best possible solution for the transitional period before the adoption of the Climate-Resilient Economy Act.

The political position is strongly focused on supporting environmental policy goals, primarily through the temporary suspension of the processing of oil shale mining permits. This is a policy-based approach aimed at preventing the creation of legitimate expectations for businesses before the adoption of the future Climate Law and the transition towards oil-shale-free energy. The suspension is necessary to achieve the state's emission reduction targets.

The political position is strongly focused on supporting the fulfillment of environmental requirements and improving registry organization, particularly concerning end-of-life vehicles. The speaker defends the government’s decision to introduce a motor vehicle tax, stressing its inclusion in the state budget and action plan. He justifies the 800-euro charge not as a classical state duty, but as an environmental fee for the failure to meet the duty of due diligence.
