There is not enough data.

The focus is on two main legislative topics: Bill 555, which forms the basis of energy policy, and the draft bill concerning end-of-life declarations of intent. It is stressed that the current solutions are not working in reality, and there is a call to review and consider the broader impact and the distribution of costs, which will lead to a better and more balanced discussion.

The legislative focus is on mapping the situation concerning regulatory barriers and eliminating them. It is recommended that the new minister be tasked with analyzing the entire situation and identifying all bottlenecks in order to rectify them. Prior progress has not been documented; specific legislative initiatives are not being highlighted.

The primary objective is the implementation of the Riigikogu decision: to establish an effective investigation committee with cross-party representation, involve experts, and submit the final report by December 1, 2025, at the latest. The investigation will encompass the analysis of TalTech's findings, the identification of potential manipulation, the evaluation of auditing procedures, comparison with international standards, and, if necessary, the recommendation of safer voting methods.

The main legislative priority is the reduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) on basic foodstuffs to 9%, for which a corresponding draft bill and the necessity of implementing this legislative act are being highlighted. The need to utilize experience gained across the European Union and to explore various tax policy solutions is also being emphasized. Furthermore, the retention of the bank tax and the objection to the 'tax hump' are highlighted, demonstrating a commitment to a balanced tax policy position.

The main priorities include continuing ENMAK and its objectives (phasing out exploitation by 2035), a referendum on the oil shale issue, and regulating the energy market. It highlights support for the draft legislation and the need for clarity among stakeholders. It is mentioned that corresponding decisions must be made within the framework of legislative solutions to ensure clarity and implementation, and the inclusion of the state budget and funds at the European level must be discussed. The official goals are related to reporting, transparency, and adherence to established processes.

Insufficient data.

The primary emphasis is placed on inquiries and issues concerning the coalition agreement, specifically within the framework of energy and tax policy. The topics addressed encompass subsidies for offshore wind parks, the regulation of electricity prices, and the transparency of network fees and associated investments. It evaluates the progress made and demands clear, actionable legal guidelines and the confirmation of the mandate.

Legislative focuses: emphasis on discussing bank tax bills and related measures; review of regulations concerning the costs of transferring loan agreements and valuation reports; notary fees and other administrative costs related to loans; a desire to work collaboratively with the coalition to find solutions that could lead to lower interest rates and foster greater economic competition. Also mentions various country recommendations (using the examples of Finland and Sweden) as a starting basis.

The main focus during the Riigikogu proceedings included pre-first reading discussions concerning the gender quota bill and the harmonization of proposed amendments. While readiness has been expressed to introduce amendments to the bill, the primary objective remains voting against it. Regarding the car tax, emphasis is placed on its impact and the necessity of amending or revoking the current legislation; potential coordination and the shaping of the final version within the framework of coalition negotiations are also mentioned.

The legislative focus centers on oversight concerning technology monopolies (or "tech voracity") and consumer protection. This includes organizing debates in the Riigikogu, submitting interpellations, and conducting in-depth analysis of ministerial replies. Priority is given to developing concrete measures and achieving political consensus for resolving these issues, especially when they are addressed separately as matters of national importance in the Riigikogu.
