Legal Act or the Law?

The Committee on agriculture discussed the proposed by the President amendments to the law "On the State Reserve Fund PMR". Legislative Initiative was presented in the regime of legislative necessity, and hence, decision shall be taken within 14 working days. We are talking in the law-in-draft about Russian support provided free in 2008 and 2011. Thanks to it Pridnestrovian agrarians have the opportunity to receive preferential loans for the purchase of plant and equipment necessary for the production and processing of agricultural products, on the perennial plants and other objects. The total amount of provided assistance was about 468 million Russian rubles or 18 million US $. However, the depreciation of the Russian ruble against the major currencies led to a depreciation of the assets of financial assistance.

According to the law loan amount shall not exceed 12,250,000 RUR. Eight years ago this amount was around 510 thousand dollars. To date, taking into account the exchange rate, this amount decreased by almost three-fold in dollar terms. In this regard, the Head of State was asked to move from a fixed limit to the amount of loan consolidation of the quarterly size limit. He has recorded a legal act of the Government. At present, the rest of Russian aid funds of about 110 million rubles of the Russian Federation. Taking into account the concept of the law-in-draft, parliamentarians have voiced their suggestions. Parliamentarians suppose that the legislative initiative has the right to life, however, required to make significant adjustments.

Deputies discussing the initiative returned to the question of the constitutionality of decisions. Legislative emergency mode requires the deputies in a short time the final decision - to support or reject the law-in-draft.

Due to the fact that during the consideration of this issue officials did not support the comments that are conceptually relevant committee of parliament unanimously passed a decision to return the document to the author to change its concept.

Parliamentarians also discussed the legislative initiative of colleagues on granting import rights to the Republic and the possibility of customs clearance of vehicles aged less than 15 years in the first reading. The current norm establishes a ban on the import of vehicles older than 10 years. The reason of the law-in-draft development was the numerous appeals addressed to the voters. Authors Vadim Krasnoselsky and Galina Antyufeeva offered to allow citizens with low-income to buy a car. However, parliamentarians noted the importance of leveling the social tension in society that arises for a number of years due to the introduction of old cars import restrictions. Lawmakers also focused on the possibility of replenishment of budget revenues. As noted previously by customs statistics, the main income of the republican budget from payment of customs duties for the importation into the territory of the republic of vehicles comes precisely at the expense of cars older than 10 years. The cost of customs clearance of cars several times higher compared to younger age vehicles. Parliamentarians on agriculture Committee gave a positive opinion of colleagues on the law-in-draft.

With regard to the 2016 draft budget on agriculture, the Committee sent its proposals to the profile of the Economic Policy Committee. In the current economic situation, agrarians do not consider it necessary to increase the land tax, fixed agricultural tax, as well as the size of the contribution, leaving rates at the level of last year. The decision is up to the deputies.
