02.09.2009 | Mart Laar | English news
Mart Laar, the chairperson of Pro Patria and Res Publica union (IRL) said yesterday he rather sees an apolitical person or social democrat as a proxy in Brussels, Eesti Päevaleht reports.
At the same time it's excluded that reform Party agrees, since Siim Kallas, current proxy is a member of Reform Party.
"Estonian proxy must be able to endeavour true portfolio or subject, which we currently don't have. Kallas is one of few who don't have a subject, but Estonia doesn't truly benefit from his position as an vice president of the European Commission. We want that to change," Laar said.
The council of IRL said that the proxy of education, science or telecommunications would fit Estonia's profile.
PM Andrus Ansip, heard of Laar's views from a journalist.
"I can't comment views I haven't heard from Laar," Ansip said and noted that in his opinion Kallas is the best candidate.
