In terms of cooperation, emphasis is placed on the need to deepen the partnership between universities and businesses in research and development (R&D) to bridge the gap between theory and practice. When activating the workforce, a significant role is seen for the community, family, and friends, who must provide emotional support, as official bodies cannot always guarantee a professional approach.

Emphasizes the need for comprehensive inter-institutional cooperation in combating financial crime (FI, Eesti Pank, the police, IT sector). In the work of the commission, [the entity/person] demonstrates a willingness to cooperate, citing consensus decisions regarding the non-adoption of the draft bill in its current form. Acknowledges that all interested parties, including the Financial Supervisory Authority (FI), must be involved in the new procedure.

The style of cooperation is consensual and inclusive, emphasizing that several committee decisions (e.g., amendments to Draft Bill 640 and the proceedings for Draft Bill 652) were adopted by consensus. It works closely with ministries and supervisory authorities (the Data Protection Inspectorate, the Financial Intelligence Unit) and consults widely with stakeholders (e.g., 18 stakeholders during the processing of the security tax law).

The commission's work reports highlight consensus decisions on procedural matters (such as appointing a representative and placing draft legislation on the agenda), suggesting smooth cooperation at the commission level. The political debate, however, underscores the government coalition's majority and ideological unity, indicating a limited willingness to make substantive compromises with the opposition regarding tax issues.

The style of cooperation is formal and respectful, addressing colleagues as "Head kolleegid" (Dear colleagues), but it is substantively demanding, urging them to make considered decisions. There are no references to seeking compromise or cross-party collaboration. He/She emphasizes waiting for the results of the work commissioned by the government from the security agencies.

The speaker emphasizes the need for a serious and substantive discussion regarding budget responsibility, but rejects the current draft bill as a foundation for cooperation. He/She points to the government's extensive preparatory work, which involves diverse stakeholders, indicating support for thorough, yet unhurried, future cooperation.
