Anti-Corruption Select Committee discusses issues relating to Nordica at a public sitting

NordenBladet —

Chair of the Anti-Corruption Select Committee Anastassia Kovalenko-Kõlvart said that Nordica had not been privatised so far, that the company was making large losses, and that from 1 November, the cooperation of the national airline Nordica with SAS would end, after which several more aircraft would remain unused. “When managing and privatising a state enterprise in such a condition, it is important to be aware of the measures taken to avoid conflict of interest. Especially since criminal proceedings have been launched against the former members of the board of AS Nordic Aviation Group on the basis of a special audit report to establish whether the company had suffered any damage as a result of the contract,” the Chair of the Select Committee stated.

Kovalenko-Kõlvart added that at the sitting of the Select Committee on 7 October, the Prosecutor General had pointed out that public assets had not been used sustainably in the management of Nordica, and the company had also not submitted its annual report. “The management board of Nordica will submit their plan of action by 15 October, and the Select Committee considers it important to get an overview of the expectations of the Ministry of Climate regarding the action plan before that, so that it would be possible to compare them when the action plan is disclosed,” she said.

Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Svet and Deputy Secretary General of the Ministry of Climate Sander Salmu have been invited to the public sitting of the Anti-Corruption Select Committee.

The sitting starts at 11 a.m. in Room L332 and it will be streamed online.

Video recording of the public sitting will be available to watch later on the Riigikogu YouTube channel.
