By Years: Marek Reinaas

The focus is strongly international and global: directing Estonian exports to new markets (USA, Central and Western Europe), promoting business diplomacy (Team Estonia, new centers in Riga, London, Paris, Berlin), and the need to eliminate barriers within the EU internal market. The adoption of EU regulations (foreign subsidies) is also addressed. The regional focus is on comparing the competitiveness of the Baltic states (Estonia vs. Lithuania).

The focus is predominantly national and international, addressing the state budget, the restoration of state finances, and foreign treaties (Pakistan, Qatar). There is a lack of specific and repeated emphasis on local or regional issues, apart from a humorous reference to the Jõgeva church roof during the budget debate.
