02.10.2009

Today in Kadriorg, President Toomas Hendrik Ilves signed a resolution promulgating the laws listed below. President Ilves expressed hope that once the law amending the Gender Equality Act and the Equal Treatment Act had entered into force, the matter brought against Estonia before the European Court of Justice would be dropped and Estonia would escape being penalised for the delay in transposition of the directives on the equal treatment for men and women.

- the law amending the Radiation Act, which was passed by the Riigikogu on 16th September 2009;
