By Plenary Sessions: Urmas Reinsalu

The speaker is a strong initiator and supporter of tax reduction bills (Isamaa's proposals to abolish the tax hump and the VAT increase) and the cancellation of the sustainability reporting obligation. He/She is a fierce opponent of government bills that impose significant burdens (waste reform, electricity charges) or violate procedural rules (deficiencies in legislative drafting in the tax bill).

The legislative focus is centered on opposing the tax policy bills initiated by the government (specifically, converting temporary taxes into permanent ones) and regulatory reforms (such as the waste reform bill and electricity charges). Furthermore, the government is required to take active steps to fulfill the mandate given by parliament to achieve the cancellation or postponement of ETS2.

The legislative focus centers on opposing a specific tax bill that seeks to abolish the tax curve (or 'tax hump') and implement corresponding tax rate hikes. The speaker is a vocal critic of the opposition-initiated bill, stressing the lack of consultation with key stakeholders and the negative financial impact this will have on ordinary people.

The main legislative priority is the Tax Peace Bill introduced by Isamaa, which aims to cancel the planned increases in indirect taxes in 2025 and future tax hikes (including the security tax). Furthermore, the government is required to present a specific negative supplementary budget totaling 300 million euros to reduce administrative costs.

The legislative focus centers on opposing the government's extensive package of tax increases and the proposed car tax bill, specifically demanding the repeal of the latter. Attention is also drawn to the draft climate law, the provisions and justifications of which (such as bicycle paths for the less affluent) are deemed inadequate. The speaker is an opposition proponent who is putting forward concrete proposals for the annulment of these laws.

Legislative efforts are centered on contesting Draft Bill 556 (the Law on Accelerating the Development of Renewable Energy) and halting its proceedings. A key priority is preventing the socialization of connection fees for new generation capacities onto consumer bills, and demanding constitutionality and transparency. Criticism is directed at the government for pushing through "half-baked draft bills" before the energy sector development plan has been finalized.

The focus is on holding the executive branch accountable for the fulfillment of the coalition agreement and the state budget. The criticism centers on the lack of budget transparency and the disregard for promised methodologies, which prevents Parliament from comprehending the state's financial management. Specific legislative bills are not mentioned.
