By Plenary Sessions: Tiit Maran

The speaker adopts a strong political stance supporting amendments to the Ambient Air Protection Act, specifically focusing on regulating noise as an underestimated yet significant public health hazard. This position is clearly policy-based, stressing the necessity for legal clarity concerning target and limit values. Crucially, the enforceability of the law must be ensured through the involvement of local municipalities.

The political position is moderately supportive of national defense needs, particularly concerning communication and freedom of movement during emergency situations. However, strong concern and opposition are expressed regarding the rushed processing of legislative amendments pertaining to nature conservation and the allocation of replacement lands. The focus is on procedural correctness and avoiding long-term risks, citing potential corruption risks (the "land exchange scandal").

The political stance centers on the specifics of the draft law and the logical consistency of the legislative process, especially where regulations governing the energy sector and environmental protection intersect. The position is moderate and analytical, stressing the necessity of correcting potential discrepancies in the differing treatment of construction restrictions applied to protected areas versus Natura 2000 sites.
