The Social Policy - in Priority

The draft of the main financial document of the country was again considered at the meeting of the Committee on Economic Policy, Budget and Finance. More than 60 amendments had been received by the second reading. During the meeting, parliamentarians, members of the Government, representatives of local authorities and the judiciary finalized each amendment. In general, as the chairman of the profile committee Alexander Korshunov noted, adopted in the second reading amendments do not change the basic parameters of the budget.

The Chairman of the Committee singled out a norm from the amendments supported by the Committee, concerning the increase in the amount of subsidies provided to domestic milk producers. A budget of 4 million rubles for these purposes will be included into the budget of the next year.

The deputy corps will consider the law-in-draft "On the republican budget 2018" during tomorrow's plenary session. The third, final reading, within which state targeted programs will be considered, will be held December 19.
