The aims of Estonian Government in the EU

In January this year the Estonian Government set its priorities in the EU. Germany has the leading role in this period. I think, that despite of upcoming change of government these sights will generally remain the same. Now the main points:

1. Estonia s aim is to help to find a solution in the European s Constitutions Treaties issue. (It is in the interests of Estonia, that the contract comes into force before the year 2009).
   


2. Estonia supports the broadening of the EU
   


3. To develop the innovation – politics, that would support European ability to compete in everything.
   


4. To assure the supply of energy.
   


5. Estonia wishes to abolish tax – hindrances in the internal market.
   


6. It’s important to start a discussion about the EU`s tax – reform.
   


7. To speed up the international climate – negotiations.
   


8. To join the Schengen`s legal system on time.
   


9. To strengthen up and develop our neighbour – politics and to support market economy in the neighbourhood of the EU.
   

To develop a partnership between the EU and Russia.

A small comment:

One can see, that the EU`s politics sail on a steady course. The aims are ambitious, as they are meant to be. Broadly speaking I agree with the priorities that the government posed although there are some issues that might not be advantageous to Estonia (For example the widening of EU). Must not abandon hope!
