By Plenary Sessions: Marko Mihkelson

The speaker is responding directly to a question raised by colleague Urmas Reinsalu regarding the exclusion of the provision for the denunciation of the agreement from the draft bill. The opposition to Reinsalu’s proposal is legally justified, citing the principle of the separation of powers and the constitutional provisions that assign the implementation of foreign policy to the executive branch. The opposition was firm, as the committee found that there was no need to support the proposed amendment.
