By Plenary Sessions: Vladimir Arhipov

The legislative focus is directed towards advancing the Local Government Act (KOV) and supporting bills in the social sector. The primary role is to be a detailed inquirer, ensuring clarity in the implementation of the law (the availability of guidance materials) and assessing the broader societal and valuable impact of the bills.

The legislative focus is currently centered on the necessity of reforming the tax system, particularly the potential reduction of the Value Added Tax (VAT). Ensuring the adequacy of social benefits—specifically the subsistence allowance—is also a priority. The speaker supports these initiatives but remains a critic of the government’s overall policy, and is seeking information regarding potential further measures of leverage.

The legislative focus is directed toward assessing the impact of the measures (relief) and critically analyzing tax laws (motor vehicle tax). He/She is requesting information on whether alternatives to the rejected measure were discussed in the commission.

The legislative focus is directed towards modifying tax policy, especially the possibility of reducing VAT on food, in order to mitigate the impact of rising prices. The speaker is acting as the initiator, proposing a solution and inquiring about its budgetary impact.

The primary legislative priorities include rejecting the government's proposed tax legislation (such as the car tax) and increasing social welfare benefits (like the school meal subsidy) to match actual costs. Furthermore, they oppose the decision regarding the transfer of foreign prisoners to Estonia and demand that it be rejected.
