The Estonian National Assembly discussed the necessity of an oil plant to sustain oil shale mining amidst criticisms towards previous governments regarding environmental policies.
In a joint meeting of two special committees in the Estonian National Assembly, the necessity of the new oil plant at Auvere was debated, particularly in the context of maintaining oil shale mining volumes. Accusations were directed at previous governments for supporting the plant's construction while disregarding European Union climate policies. Committee members emphasized that activating the plant is crucial for sustaining oil shale mining at levels that would keep its price as low as possible.
