Agenda Profile: Arvo Aller

The political position is strongly opposed to the government's planned restructuring (505 SE), particularly the removal of the Land Board and the spatial planning department from the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture. The criticism is primarily directed at procedural inefficiency and the lack of alleged savings, given that the actual number of positions is increasing. This suggests a costly bureaucratic shuffling rather than genuine reform. The speaker emphasizes that land is a resource that should remain within the domain of regional development and rural revitalization.

The speaker demonstrates expertise regarding the structure of state institutions and the details of the administrative reform, citing specific numbers concerning the movement of positions between ministries (23 positions are eliminated from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications (MKM), 42 from the Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture (RPM), and 66 are added to the Ministry of Justice (JM)). Furthermore, the speaker is familiar with the procedures for coordinating draft legislation, criticizing the process for being limited to only two information and communication institutions. This expertise also encompasses the importance of spatial planning and the functions of the Land Board (Maa-amet) in regional development.

The rhetorical style is analytical, expressing concern ("This worries me"), and strongly interrogative, focusing on both procedural and substantive deficiencies. The speaker utilizes logical appeals, citing specific data (the figures for official posts, relocation expenses) and highlighting flaws in the accompanying explanatory memorandum. The tone is formal and characteristic of parliamentary debate, offering solutions alongside the critique (specifically, returning the draft bill to the government).

No data available.

The opposition is directed against the government-initiated bill 505 SE and the accompanying administrative reform, which is considered ineffective and detrimental to regional development. Criticism targets both substantive choices (specifically, the sectoral placement of the Land Board) and procedural errors (insufficient coordination and dubious savings figures). The confrontation is based on both policy and procedure.

The collaborative approach is open to internal parliamentary procedures and constructive criticism, proposing the option of returning the draft legislation to the government for necessary amendments. The speaker further recommends that the committee's proposals for future action be included when the bill is returned, demonstrating a readiness to improve the quality of lawmaking through joint effort.

A strong regional focus, emphasizing the necessity of improving regional development and boosting rural life and agriculture. The speaker supports the decentralization of state agencies, recommending that the Land Board (Maa-amet) be moved out of Tallinn—specifically away from "that shared building"—and relocated to the local area to support local development.

Economic perspectives center on fiscal skepticism, questioning whether government restructuring will actually lead to real savings, given that the number of state-level positions is increasing. Emphasis is placed on the importance of land as a resource for revitalizing rural life and agriculture, suggesting support for economic growth in rural regions.

Only the requirements for higher education and legal higher education, specifically concerning job qualifications, are addressed among the social issues, with a recommendation that the government revise its stance on this matter. Broader social issues are absent.

The legislative focus is currently directed towards the draft act (505 SE) concerning the amendment of the Government of the Republic Act and the subsequent amendment of other related legislation. The speaker opposes the bill and criticizes the procedure, highlighting the substantive flaws of the administrative reform and demanding that the bill be sent back to the government for revision.
