Zitat des Tages über Estland / Estonia:
I hope one day when I say I'm from Estonia, people don't say: 'What? Where's that?'
You know what I always dreamed of? That with the greenhouse effect, one day Estonia can be what L.A. is right now. I always thought when the end of the world comes, I want to be in Estonia. I think then I'd survive.
I am looking forward to a series of productive meetings in both Austria and Estonia, particularly what role organized crime plays in the Baltic drug trade.
We feel free. We're independent. People can be openly proud of being Estonian. I have a lot of belief in Estonia.
I am not always happy with the compliments Estonia has received.
In 1994, Estonia became the first European country to adopt a flat tax, and its 26 percent flat tax dramatically energized what had been a faltering economy. Before adopting the flat tax, the Estonian economy was literally shrinking. In the eight years after 1994, Estonia experienced real economic growth - averaging 5.2 percent per year.
