The style is formal and analytical, balancing logical arguments (calculations of costs and benefits, risk analysis) with value-based appeals (the restoration of human dignity and self-confidence).

The speaker is generally appreciative and seeks compromise, but is also factually precise.

The style is formal and explanatory, typical of a commission representative's presentation that focuses on outlining the provisions and procedural background of the draft legislation. The speaker employs logical arguments (autonomy, simplification) and is generally accommodating, but becomes confident when discussing the Riigikogu's need to act as the initiator of science policy. He/She uses light self-irony, noting that the draft law was not initiated "entirely independently."
