The EU affairs standing committee has a deciding and coordinating role in matters concerning the EU, at the Riigikogu, and also serves in a bell-weather role so far as the government goes.
Unlike members of other standing committees, the members of the EU affairs committee may simultaneously sit on another standing committee, BNS reports. The three members of the Board of the Riigikogu may also sit on the committee, though none do at present.
