The Riigikogu discussed a Bill concerning national defence land

NordenBladet —

The Bill on Amendments to the State Assets Act and the Land Cadastre Act (327 SE), initiated by Isamaa Parliamentary Group, was intended to regulate the specifications for the transfer of national defence land by the state.

The Bill proposed that, if the state transfers, at a public auction, an immovable containing a cadastral unit with the intended purpose of national defence land, the detailed spatial plan established for the cadastral unit will be repealed as of the day following the transfer. According to the Bill, the cadastral unit would have become land not designated for a specific purpose in order that the new owner would be able to apply for a relevant intended purpose to be determined for the cadastral unit.

In addition, it was intended to provide that, if a cadastral unit with the intended purpose of national defence land contains construction works intended to be used as internal security or defence forces engineering works, this intended purpose will be repealed as of the day following the transfer of the immovable.

Andres Metsoja from Isamaa Parliamentary Group took the floor during the debate.

The lead committee moved to reject the Bill at the first reading. 46 members of the Riigikogu voted in favour of the motion and 17 voted against. Thus, the Bill was dropped from the proceedings of the Riigikogu.

The first reading of the Bill on Amendments to the Prosecutor’s Office Act (105 SE), initiated by Members of the Riigikogu Kert Kingo, Varro Vooglaid and Martin Helme, was cancelled due to the absence of the presenter.

After the sitting, Estonia-Angola and Estonia-Montenegro Parliamentary Friendship Groups will be formed on the initiative of Peeter Tali.
