Objects of Committee Discussions - Agribusiness Lending and Housing Code

Profile Committee continued to work on presidential initiative intending making adjustments to the law "On the State Reserve Fund of PMR". The law-in-draft was designed to further support agriculture. The basis of the document - legal, credit related entities in the agribusiness at the expense of Russian aid, received by Pridnestrovie in 2008 and 2011. Parliamentarians supported the proposal to reduce by two percentage points and increase the rate from 5 to 7 years crediting period. In connection with the devaluation of the Russian ruble (and received help, and returns calculated in this currency), the author considered it appropriate to provide for the conversion of these funds. Deputies consider this step as justified, but disagreed with the stipulation appearing in the author's version of the law-in-draft: it was assumed that the decision to convert its order should be necessarily aligned with the government. Lawmakers spoke about the desirability of an amendment according to which the question of conversion should be addressed at the level of the supervisory board, which is composed of representatives of different branches of government. Parliamentarians insist on the fact that all state funds should be distributed according to the law: the introduction of an additional unit in the face of government complicates and lengthens the way to getting a loan. It would be wrong, according to deputies, to apply a different approach to Russian aid depending on the year of its receive. Let’s remember that the developers of the law-in-draft proposed to allocate the first tranche according to the law, and the second - governing by the government decree.

Taking into account these and other comments and additions the law-in-draft passed the second reading, but deputies had decided to stay in this mode for absolute placement of the i's dots on the recommendation of the Committee on Agriculture.

During the next stage of discussions it turned out that the stumbling blocks are "scattered" at every turn. Director of the State Reserve Fund Lyudmila Gagun returned in her speech to the discussion of the amendments already adopted by the Supreme Council, insisting on executive disagrees with many of them. The discussion resumed its natural course.

Much attention of the Committee meeting participants was paid to the proposal of the representatives of the fund designated as priority candidates for public agricultural credit. Deputies insist on constitutional equality organizations of all ownership - preferences should not be here.

A question of the number of funds in the accounts of the Fund did not received official response. Deputy Oleg Leontiev noted that, according to his data, we are talking about 208 million Russian rubles. This latest application for a loan received in December last year. Deputies are wondering how it was possible to assume that in such a difficult economic situation, when agriculture sorely in need of support, huge by the standards of the republic, the money lying dead weight.

Members of the Committee decided to recommend to the deputies to adopt the initiative on amending the law "On the State Reserve Fund of PMR" in the final reading not having achieved from the representatives of the fund specific claims to the new amendments designed to improve the final rules proposed by the president.

The deputy minister emphasized that the author of the law-in-draft is ready to discuss the intricacies of the proposed mechanism. The document recommended for adoption in the first reading by majority of votes.

Similarly, there was initially a further discussion of the fate of the law-in-draft that involves changing the rules of the Housing Code. The Supreme Council received a request of the Prosecutor's Office for interpretation of the term "departure" and clarification, whether the cases when incapacitated person indefinitely placed in a socio-medical establishment, intended for permanent residence of citizens with mental illness and chronic care needs, welfare and health care under this definition. After studying the essence of the issue, Efimy Koval made a counter-proposal: to prepare amendments to the Housing Code, specifying the procedure for formulation of citizens registered as in need of better housing conditions and grounds for removal from it. The proposal is supported by colleagues.
