By Plenary Sessions: Pipi-Liis Siemann

The political stance is moderately opposed to the draft bill requiring detailed substantiation of representation expenses for government members. The position is strongly value-based, emphasizing that high-ranking officials should act with dignity, and that ethics and a sense of honor should be expected of them, rather than regulation by law. The speaker believes that certain official positions inevitably entail representation expenses, which are, in a certain sense, a matter of prestige. He/She supports the government's solidarity, noting that representation expenses have temporarily decreased due to the KRAPS amendment.

The political stance centers on the standing orders of the Riigikogu and the regulation governing the absences of members of parliament. The speaker supports the leading committee's proposal to reject the draft legislation, arguing that it is too brief (laconic) and requires substantial supplementation, stressing that the fulfillment of a Member of Parliament's duties is, by law, continuous and uniform. The formulation of this position is heavily procedural and policy-driven.
