WQ.57/2018

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY SENATOR P.F.C. OZOUF

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th MARCH 2018

Question

Could the Chief Minister set out what actions, if any, have been taken or are planned to be taken, in order to build further links with Estonia, especially in the e-commerce and e-government sectors?

If no actions have been taken, could he explain the reasons why? Answer

The Government of Jersey enjoys a very positive and constructive relationship with Estonia. The Minister of External Relations has met the new Ambassador, Her Excellency Tiina Intelmann, on at least two occasions in recent months on official business.

Government of Jersey officials, particularly those in the Jersey London Office, have good relationships with their counterparts in the Estonian Embassy. A delegation visited Tallinn in 2017 to learn about their approach to digital government, and we maintain active contact with the Estonian Permanent Representation in Brussels through our Channel Islands Brussels office.

We are considering how we can continue the development of our links with Estonia and will update Members when decisions have been made.
