Minister of Foreign Trade and IT Andres Sutt (Reform) told ETV s political discussion show Esimene stuudio that Estonian labor laws need to be looked over and refreshed.
Sutt reached this conclusion after a discussion about Swedbank taking its Baltic subsidiary management to Riga, Latvia. Riga s advantages over Tallinn and Vilnius are related to staff recruitment and tax systems, a Swedbank Estonia spokesperson told ERR on February 1.
Sutt noted that Latvia s labor laws are better than Estonia s: I look at it as a signal that we need to look at what we could make better in our business climate, in order for future selections to be in favor of Estonia.
