By Plenary Sessions: Arvo Aller

A strong regional focus is placed on rural areas, local municipalities, and Ida-Viru County. There is criticism regarding the ineffective implementation of the Just Transition Fund (JTF) in Ida-Viru County, particularly the exclusion of farmers and the large sums directed towards soft measures. It is also emphasized that transporting organic food to Ida-Viru County creates an environmental footprint.

The focus is primarily on national tax regulations and the alignment of legislation with European Union thresholds (Value Added Tax). Agriculture is mentioned in the context of land acquisition, but a clear regional emphasis is lacking.

The focus is clearly on international relations and diplomatic protocol (Estonian embassies in Europe, the example of Germany). Regional focus within Estonia is absent.

The focus is primarily on national legislation, but emphasis is placed on the role of local municipalities (KOV) in conducting crisis management risk analyses and their need for data provided by the government. Furthermore, the impact of national digital solutions on ordinary citizens across Estonia is also addressed.

The regional focus is connected to the locations of specific events in Estonia, such as the Narva River, Lihula, and Sinimäed. The themes being addressed, however, are issues of national security, border management, and historical memory.

A strong regional focus is directed at the oil shale region, emphasizing the personal connection and socio-economic impact on local employees. Furthermore, the standardization of kindergarten fees is viewed as a regional policy measure, aimed at balancing the situation in peripheral counties compared to major centers.

The speaker focuses heavily on regional problems, emphasizing the reduction of educational opportunities in rural areas through the closure of local schools and the removal of educational services. The emphasis is on curtailing the educational path available to local communities and people living in rural areas.
