Summary

The agreement must be ratified in the Riigikogu, because with the agreement the Republic of Estonia joins an international organization and it regulates tax issues, giving CERN's assets and income a tax exemption. CERN was founded on September 29, 1954, when the Convention establishing the European Organization for Nuclear Research entered into force. The purpose of the organization is to ensure cooperation between European countries in pure and fundamental scientific nuclear research and those essentially related to it in the field of research. CERN is headquartered in Geneva. For Estonian entrepreneurs, the merger enables the transfer of knowledge, especially in the field of high technology, but also opens up wider opportunities to participate in CERN tenders. After a period of 2-5 years of associate membership, Estonia becomes a full member of CERN and signs a new agreement that replaces this agreement. Associate membership prior to full membership is mandatory for new member states. As a full member additional opportunities will open up for Estonia, as the upper limit of the amount that can be recovered from CERN will disappear. During the period of associate membership, the amount refundable cannot exceed the membership fee, and there is no right to vote in the council.
