The Riigikogu passed with 46 votes in favour the Nature Conservation Act Amendment Act (390 SE), initiated by the Environment Committee. The Act restores the provision, originally included in the Act, but lost for technical reasons, according to which the activities for which nature conservation grants are paid, cannot be viewed as business activities and therefore they are free from taxation.
