Riigikogu Cultural Affairs Committee discussed ERR board reform without reaching final decisions

On Monday, 1 June, the Riigikogu Cultural Affairs Committee discussed a bill to reform the structure of the Estonian Public Broadcasting (ERR) board. No final decisions were made, and the discussion will continue on Thursday.

The Riigikogu Cultural Affairs Committee met on Monday, 1 June, to discuss a bill aimed at modifying the composition of the Estonian Public Broadcasting (ERR) board. The session was held in Toompea and addressed potential changes to the governance structure of the public-law media organisation.

Committee members reviewed the main provisions of the bill, but no consensus was reached and it was decided to continue the discussion. The next debate is scheduled for Thursday, when the committee hopes to address the issue in more detail.

Reforming the ERR board's composition has received public attention in recent months. The board is the highest supervisory body of public broadcasting, responsible for setting the organisation's strategic direction and appointing senior management. The further procedure of the bill will become clear following the committee's Thursday session.
