Two weeks ago, Tallinn City Council postponed the discussion of Tallinn Port's detailed plans. Opposition members said that Deputy Mayor Tiit Terik should also give up his stake in the Port.
The draft was presented by Deputy Mayor Tiit Terik, who is responsible for urban planning. After discussion, City Council Chairman Mihhail Kõlvart withdrew the draft. Terik said that the situation is now clear and everything has been discussed.
The discussion of the two detailed plans for the Port is not on the agenda of Thursday's City Council meeting. Terik said that according to the rules, the council cannot reconsider them immediately. The city government must process the draft again.
"This means that the draft must go through the city government meeting again," said Terik. "Next week, the draft will be sent to the city council. No changes will be made."
Terik has held 3,000 shares of Tallinn Port for years. This year, he purchased an additional 110 shares. Terik said that this small stake (the Port has a total of 263 million shares) does not violate the rules.
"It is better to be correct and check everything carefully," said Terik. "This avoids future problems."
