By Months: Kalle Laanet

The speaker is active in the plenary sessions of the Riigikogu, presenting reports from the lead committee and participating in individual proceedings. They participated in concluding the second reading of the draft bill and proposed the third reading for June 4th. Note is taken of their long previous career as a minister in several governments, as well as the necessity of being away from their actual home due to work.

The pattern of activity indicates active committee work, during which several experts and officials were summoned (including the Minister and the Director General of the Police and Border Guard Board). A rapid response to practical deadlines was observed, which necessitated transferring provisions between different draft bills to ensure the law entered into force before May 1st (the deadline for the expiration of the card agreement). Kalle Laanet assumed the role of the committee representative on April 7th, signaling a recent change in the lead committee.

The procedure is related to committee work, where a review of the Constitutional Committee session (January 27, 2025) is presented to the Riigikogu Plenary Assembly (March 10, 2025). The discussion highlights the heavy workload faced by ministry representatives, as they must participate almost simultaneously in the sessions of several committees to discuss the same topic.
