The Social Security, Custody and Control of Alcoholism

The necessity to consolidate compulsory social insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases in the legal environment of the Republic has been being discussed not the first year. The practice of other states suggests the feasibility of introducing such a mechanism to protect workers. Questions of liability in this sphere is governed by the Civil Code today, adopted in 1993 by the Law "On Protection and Safety" (it establishes the specific types and amounts payments upon the occurrence of injury cases and occupational diseases) and approved in 2004 by regulations. Current legislation imposes financial responsibility on the employer, who shall promptly pay serious amount to the victims. Rights of citizens would be violated if you can not provide these benefits. The current system does not allow for compliance with all the guarantees necessary and there is no state control over social benefits.

In light of this situation, the government considered it appropriate to introduce mandatory social insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases. In 2013, the Supreme Council received legislative initiative, which provides that the insurer will be performing a special government body authorized by the Government. Obligations on making insurance contributions, prescribed by law, the authors of the initiative consider it necessary to entrust the employers. It was proposed to make calculation based on the pricing of insurance premiums accrued on the insured wages on all grounds (income). It is planned to create a certain fund, which will be 0.5% deducted  of payroll budget.

According to members of the Committee on Social Policy, the initiative as such has the right to life. Moreover, the first president of the republic, and the Committee itself offered to insure workers against occupational accidents and previously diseases. The introduction of this mechanism requires not only additional tools but also choose the right moment. It is not yet X hour, according to parliamentarians. In today's economic situation, a further increase in the tax burden on businesses, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can be fatal.

Representatives of two branches of government in question mitigation requirements of record keeping guardians showed solidarity. The current legislation requires the collection of checks and accounting of all costs associated with the maintenance of the ward. Participants of the meeting of the Committee agreed that there was no need to document every food purchase fact. Necessary changes will be made to the law "On the organization and implementation of the guardianship (curatorship) in Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic".

The initiative of the government, represented by members of the Interior did not cause disagreements and disputes. This is an increase from three to ten day period allotted for forwarding to drug treatment centers evading treatment of citizens suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction or substance abuse. This should make law enforcement practice easier for police officers, as a result, have a positive impact on the quality of investigation. After hearing the arguments of the official representatives of the author of the law-in-draft, the Committee decided to recommend to the deputies to take the initiative to amend the law "On the social rehabilitation of patients with chronic alcoholism, drug addiction or substance abuse" in two readings.
