The new year marked the beginning of Tallinn's stint as Europe's capital of culture (ECC) as well as Estonia's entry into the euro zone.
The city has just pulled off another successful edition of its annual Black Nights film festival, and the Art Museum of Estonia, which will host many ECC events, is the envy of the region.
The findings of the influential energy and climate change committee (ECC) show that ministers have little clear plan for meeting the 2020 target to meet 15% of energy needs from renewable sources.
Leadsom was questioned by MPs on the energy and climate change (ECC) select committee about proposed cuts to renewable energy subsidies that her predecessor has called "catastrophic".
Another distressing sign was the recent ouster of Mikko Fritze, the director of Tallinn's successful ECC bid, when rumours emerged he was paid more than Estonia's president.
An elderly Estonian could have bought her first toy with marks, paid for a wedding dress with kroons, received a pension in roubles, purchased her first modem in kroons (again) and will now buy tickets to ECC events with the euro.
These involve Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission (IEC), under the orders of the foreign-controlled Election Complaints Commission (ECC).
That is just as well, given the decline of another body, the Electoral Complaints Commission (ECC), that just about saved the day last year when three non-Afghans on its five-man board insisted on a fairly rigorous inquiry into mass fraud.
Besides Mr Chen and the ECC members, 400 Chinese travel agents arrived on February 22nd.
And the ECC has received almost 4,000 complaints of irregularities.The questions now are how many of them will the ECC dare investigate and how long will it be allowed to hold up the announcement of an official result?
But in two respects, things have actually got much worse.First, the Electoral Complaints Commission (ECC) has lost much of its independence.
