By Plenary Sessions: Priit Sibul

The primary legislative focus is on scrutinizing the budget (the State Budget Strategy and the annual budget) and identifying opportunities for proposing amendments. Equally important is the procedural focus, which involves requiring the Riigikogu Board to deliver the draft bill under discussion to the members of parliament in a timely manner, thereby ensuring a substantive debate.

The primary legislative focus is on the state budget bill and the right of members of parliament to propose amendments to specific investment line items. The goal is to initiate the reallocation of funds from Võru to Põlva, thereby emphasizing the parliament’s role in modifying the details of the budget.

The legislative focus is currently directed at the bill proposing an increase in alcohol excise duty, where the speaker is acting as a critical assessor. The priority is the consideration of alternative taxation models (such as distinguishing domestic production) and verifying the reliability of the bill's fiscal impact assessment.

The legislative focus is on opposing a specific social sector bill and scrutinizing its details. The speaker is acting as an opponent of the draft legislation, demanding clarification as to why need-based benefits are absent and why these specific areas were chosen for cuts (the ceiling on parental benefits and co-payments).

Although the questions are apparently being raised in connection with the debate surrounding the Blood Act, the speaker himself is focusing on the oversight of the law's implementation activities (delegation) and the administrative issues faced by healthcare institutions (the PERH procurement). The primary emphasis is therefore on the implementation of legislation and monitoring compliance.
