The standing committees cover state matters in their fields of specialisation, and their main task is discussing and preparing Bills. Select committees are formed to perform specific functions. If an issue of significant importance needs solving, a committee of investigation or a study committee is formed.https://www.riigikogu.ee/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image.jpg584327
