Â MOFA : Estonia

The Prime Minister alone nominates the ministers who are formally appointed by the President and swear an oath before the Riigikogu.
If the President's candidate(s) fail(s) to form a Government (the Constitution permits the President two nominations), the Riigikogu will name a Prime Minister to form a government.
A Government can resign due to any of three reasons: the death or resignation of the Prime Minister, a vote of no-confidence by the Riigikogu in the Government, or the election of a new parliament.

The president, elected by parliament for a five-year term, has little substantive power; the prime minister, or head of government, is nominated by the president and approved by parliament.
It has a popularly elected 101-seat unicameral parliament, called the Riigikogu, whose members serve four-year terms.

Dear members of the Riigikogu, ambassadors and guests,Today I would briefly like to present a vision of the future at which Estonia has aimed its strenuous efforts over the years: that aim is Estonia as a member of the European Union.
Therefore, it is highly appropriate that the traditional conference on the European Union organised by the Riigikogu takes place also this year.
The closer the accession is, the more necessary becomes to speak about what the European Union means to each Estonian on a personal level.
