IMRE SOOÄÄRE JA ANDREI KOROBEINIK'S JOINT ELECTION AGENDA IN COOPERATION WITH THE CENTRE PARTY

2019. parliament elections

In the Estonian parliament, we will improve and modernize the possibilities of the Estonian business environment, create a stable tax system and a more flexible labor market. Estonian people and businessmen need trust and peace in future. We do not support corporate income tax and do not increase the VAT rate for tourism companies. More effective supervision of EAU in Estonia is needed. Estonia needs to create a more significant reputation in the world.

Citizenship

We will solve the problem using the basic principle, repeal the law, according to which Estonian citizens with dual citizenship must face the choice of their citizenship at the age of 18. Estonia should allow dual citizenship with those countries and the European Union, in which the largest Estonian communities exist.  

We will finish issuing gray passports to Estonian children. Every year in Estonia, between 15 and 20 children are born who receive a gray passport. This is a relic of the last century. End of discrimination and gray passports.

Attract high-paying jobs to Estonia

High labor taxes are a problem that are hindering the creation of high-paying jobs in Estonia, which reduces taxes to the Estonian state budget. The introduction of a social tax ceiling will be a concrete step towards solving this problem

Global Estonia

We will create a global network of volunteers to support and revitalize the Estonian community in the world. Estonia's global network can be an important support for our diplomatic missions. Goodwill ambassadors can help present Estonia to the world, help Estonian companies find new markets, attract foreign investment and tourists to Estonia. Introduce cultural programs that will increase Estonian visibility in the world and Estonia to the world.

Promotion of Estonian food and products

We will continue to sell Estonian food and local raw materials both at home and abroad. We will help develop Estonian food products, take into account the peculiarities of the regions where they are produced. We will support both large and small Estonian food companies in order to help to create new values ​​and competitive capabilities of their products, as well as to find the new markets for them. We will introduce international assessment systems in Estonia and join the international marketing system ho-re-ca.

Chess lessons in Estonian schools

We will teach primary school students chess in order to develop they mental abilities. When a child learns chess at an early age, he develops his creative potential and out-of-the-box thinking. These are essential skills in the modern world. We will teach pupils of the 2nd grade chess in the Estonian and Russian schools.

Reasonable and understanding societies

The general principle, which should be guided by the adoption of new laws. Today laws are passed in the Estonian parliament and no one analyzes them, what are the real demands and burdens, which are falling on the shoulders of the ordinary citizens and businesses every day. Before the adoption of each act, these aspects should be analyzed and put through the explanatory note.

Inclusive budget

I propose that every year people should be given the opportunity to decide where the certain part of the state budget shall be distributed. We will allow Estonians to submit projects that must be financed from the state budget.

Breakthrough in research and development

R & D reform in order to attract more international research projects to Estonia and to expand local know-how. Increase financing of science in the state budget by 1%. Today, these purchases are mainly made outside of Estonia, because our system is outdated compared to other countries and is not competitive.
