The Result of Discussion - the Veto Overcoming

28.01.2015

Lawmakers have overcome presidential veto, imposed on adopted by parliamentarians Law “On Amendments to the Law of the PMR “On Customs Tariff” December 24. It is about prolongation of entry into the Republic of cars older than 10 years for another year.

On the eve of consideration of this issue, members of the relevant committee to two possible ways of solving the problem (overcoming veto any agreement with it) offered colleagues deputies the compromise variant - the creation of the conciliation commission. However, today's discussion of rejected and directed by the head president for reconsideration by the Supreme Council of the rules of law and voting results showed the mood of deputies to overcome the presidential veto. As a result, 29 deputies voted for it.

Arguments of official representatives of the president that the import of cars older than 10 years harm to the environment, helping to reduce safety on the roads, there is no mechanism and disposal practices cars- "pensioners" not have the desired effect on the position of the legislators. Parliamentarians are sure that because of the low standard of living and falling consumer ability in Pridnestrovie not possible to deliver a new, and, therefore, more expensive vehicles. They are also sure that because of the ban the import of cars is losing revenue and budget, while this money could be used to finance the monthly extra help for pensioners.

As it turned out in the course of the discussion, the deputies oppose restrictive measures. They suppose that there are other effective ways of the problems solving that lie in the economic plane. For example, it was proposed to significantly increase the amount of customs duties on cars older than 10 years in the future, they were not profitable to import in Pridnestrovie. In particular, the deputy Vladimir Bodnar wondered why the authors of earlier legislative initiatives did not go on this way - increase the tariff rates?

As for Pridnestrovians who bring cars at the intersection of 2014 and 2015 and the beginning of the procedure of customs clearance, the way it turned out during the meeting, a presidential decree allowed them to bring it to its logical conclusion.
