By Months: Vilja Toomast

The style of cooperation is consensus-based and procedural, given that all commission decisions (such as placing the draft resolution on the agenda, proposing its rejection, and appointing a representative) were adopted by consensus. He/She cooperates with the commission chairman and other members.

The Commission's working style was consensual in making internal decisions, as the rejection of proposals was determined "jointly." The speaker demonstrates a pragmatic approach by rejecting proposals that were not directly related to the draft bill (the Chamber of Bailiffs) or those that required additional work and analysis (income-related fines).

His/Her collaborative approach is open, as he/she reports in detail the questions and concerns raised by various factions and members within the committee. He/She works in close cooperation with representatives of the Ministry of Justice, whose positions and responses he/she conveys to the plenary session. He/She emphasizes that a thorough discussion took place in the committee.

The cooperation is characterized by a consensus-based decision-making process within the Legal Affairs Committee, where the opinions of the Ministry of Justice, Tallinn Prison, and the Chancellor of Justice were taken into account. Several important proposals put forward by the committee were adopted by consensus. The cooperation also includes the need to introduce into the law the amendments that the Ministry of Social Affairs adopted in the interim.

The speaker outlines the collaboration within the Legal Affairs Committee and the consultations with the Ministry of Justice. The collaborative style is consensual, given that no amendments were submitted concerning the draft legislation, and the committee put forward a unified proposal to conclude the second reading.
