Dear Mr Dürr
We at the Supreme Court of Estonia completely agree with the topics the
Bureau has chosen for the 3rd World Conference of Constitutional
Justice, and we do not have any comments or further proposals.
Additionally, please note that the term of office of our current Chief
Justice Mr Märt Rask ends on 12 September this year. The Estonian
Parliament has appointed Mr Priit Pikamäe for a new Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Estonia. Mr Pikamäes term of office as Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Estonia commences on 13 September 2013.
According to the Estonian Courts' Act the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court is nominated for a 9 year term. The contacts of our court for
Venice Commission will still remain the same, you can either contact me
or our Liaison Officers Ms Ulrika Eesmaa or Ms Kristi Aule Parmas.

Honourable Chief Justice,
I have the pleasure to transmit to you the synopsis of the meeting of

place in Venice on 15 June 2013. The Bureau discussed the preparation of
the 3rd Congress of the World Conference, which will be held in Seoul,

In accordance with Article 4.b.7 of the Statute of the World Conference,
the Bureau asked the Secretariat to consult with the members on the
topic of the conference.
Upon a proposal by the Host of the Conference, the Constitutional Court

order of business of the Congress, on a regular basis, the following
