By Plenary Sessions: Mart Maastik

The speaker is strongly opposed to regulations, arguing that sustainability reporting and the mandatory blending of biofuels are too burdensome and costly for businesses. They emphasize the importance of maintaining competitiveness and warn that increasing bureaucracy will stifle entrepreneurship and drive up consumer prices (specifically airfare). The speaker clearly champions the interests of the business sector.

Economic perspectives underscore the importance of maintaining existing jobs and regional economic circulation, a process supported by public educational institutions. The speaker takes a stand against policies that result in job losses and decreased support for local businesses, emphasizing the necessity of protecting the regional economy.

It strongly supports the market economy and competitiveness, while opposing state subsidies (specifically for offshore wind farms) and gender quotas in private enterprise, labeling these as socialist measures. Furthermore, it demands that energy prices be maintained at a competitive level and stresses the importance of ensuring private property rights and providing fair compensation in the event of state-imposed restrictions.

Economic considerations focus on cost control, expressing concern about the very large expenditures associated with the reorganization of school transport. This indicates opposition to costly bureaucratic changes that do not yield a clear benefit.

The economic platform is strongly anti-tax and advocates for competitive energy production. The speaker criticized the government’s subsidy-based energy plan, arguing that it results in prohibitively expensive electricity and drives away industrial consumers and investment. He emphasized that the CO2 quota system has destroyed competitive oil shale energy, and that CO2 fees are now being used to plug the funding gap for Rail Baltic.

Economic perspectives stress the priority of service accessibility over profit, criticizing TS Laevad for generating high profits while continuously raising ticket prices. It is warned that these high prices will reduce the number of visitors to the islands and force tourists to rely on motorhome travel, which ultimately damages the local service sector. Support is given for free transport for island residents.

Economic views stress the primacy of competitiveness and call for strict fiscal discipline through cuts to bureaucracy. The speaker strongly opposes green policy, which he considers "utopian green madness" and which damages the economy's competitiveness.
