Estonia's European Union Policy

Estonia’s European Union Policy is shaped and implemented under the lead of the Prime Minister. As a member of the European Union, Estonia has the chance – and duty – to take part in shaping the policies of the Union and determining its direction of travel. Estonia can have a meaningful impact on the development of the European Union only if our positions are clear and supported by member states.

Estonian interests

To better represent the interests of Estonia, the government determines the goals and principles on which we rely in our activities towards the European Union. Since Estonia's accession to the European Union in 2004, framework documents have been drawn up, which determine the main principles of Estonia's EU policy and based on which the government's activities towards the EU are planned.

The government approved Estonia’s European Union policy priorities for 2025 - 2027 on June 19, 2025.

The priorities focus on developing European defence capabilities, simplifying the regulatory environment and preparing for the negotiations on the new long-term budget of the EU.
