By Plenary Sessions: Evelin Poolamets

The speaker demonstrates expertise in the field of planning law (detailed plans, special plans) and environmental impact assessment, criticizing their devaluation in the draft bill. Specific technical aspects are highlighted, such as infrasound, vibration, shadow flicker, and the height of wind turbines (250–300 meters), alongside energy security issues (dispatchable power, reliance on fossil fuels). Comparisons are drawn with other countries (the Netherlands, Germany) to underscore the unique characteristics of Estonia’s scattered settlement pattern.

The speaker demonstrates knowledge regarding the content of corporate sustainability reporting and the field of renewable energy waste management (the recycling of solar panels and wind turbine blades). Their interest is focused on specific requirements and logistical plans, which points to detailed preparation concerning both environmental and economic topics.

The speaker demonstrates detailed knowledge of the Pihlakodu abuse case, citing a specific media source (Eesti Ekspress) and substantive evidence. Caregivers’ chat groups, photographs, and warnings issued in 2023 are quoted, which points to thorough preparatory work concerning the legal and ethical dimensions of the topic. The expertise itself focuses on the legal and ethical aspects of accountability for social welfare institutions.

The speaker demonstrates deep expertise regarding the intersection of national defense and energy infrastructure, citing specific commanders of the Defense Forces Intelligence Center and the Navy. Technical terms such as radio signal jamming, early warning time, and anti-ship missiles are used, also highlighting measured data (a hundredfold exceedance of the norm). Furthermore, knowledge is demonstrated regarding healthcare administration issues (family physician lists).

Demonstrates high expertise concerning the technical parameters of wind energy (height up to 300 m, capacity up to 8 MW) and its environmental impacts (infrasound, low-frequency noise, shadow flicker, Bisphenol A). It utilizes detailed comparisons with regulations from other countries (the Finnish 8x rule, the German 10x rule) and criticizes the outdated nature and inadequacy of Estonian studies. It also demonstrates knowledge of local government processes (Vinni Rural Municipality) and administrative court proceedings.

The politician demonstrates expertise in the legal field, addressing decisions related to criminal procedure, the legal basis for compensating non-pecuniary damage, and the prosecutor's claims. Regarding environmental topics, he/she is familiar with specific regulations, such as cumulative impact assessment, modeling of low-frequency noise and vibration, and the legal status of EIA guidelines.
