The Riigikogu concluded the second reading of the Bill on Amendments to the Code of Enforcement Procedure (183 SE), initiated by the Estonian Centre Party Faction. The aim of the Bill is to clearly provide that, in the process of expropriation of an immovable, in addition to the decision of the county governor, a decision of the Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications may serve as the enforcement instrument upon expropriation for the construction or acquisition of a national road or a public railway, and a decision of a rural municipality or city government may serve as the enforcement instrument upon expropriation for the construction or acquisition of a local road. The Bill was sent to the third reading and a final vote scheduled for 30 May.
