Indrek Teder argues that the provision of the Treaty Establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) which in exceptional cases allows decisions on the provision of stability support to a Member of the ESM to be adopted by means of the so-called emergency voting procedure is contrary to the Estonian Constitution. The core feature of the emergency voting procedure is that, instead of using a regular voting mechanism based on mutual agreement (i.e. unanimity), a decision is adopted if a qualified majority of 85% of the votes cast endorse the decision.
