Parliamentarians will discuss the situation in the sphere of water supply

Members of the Presidium of the Supreme Council considered a number of legislations of an economic nature. The government prepared a legislative initiative that provides support measures for light industry enterprises, which work at the expense of customer-supplied raw materials. As the chairman of the profile parliamentary committee Alexander Korshunov noted, the law-in-draft was developed on the basis of appeals from representatives of the garment industry.

Anti-crisis measures taken in 2017, allowed sewing organizations to increase production, keep the number of employees and increase tax payments. The legislative initiative was included in the first reading on the agenda of the plenary session.

It was proposed by the parliamentarian Victor Guzun to prolong the support measures for small businesses in 2018. Changes are made to the law "On additional measures aimed at stabilizing the economy", which was adopted two years ago in order to reduce administrative barriers and the fiscal burden on the activities of domestic economic agents.

Members of the Presidium agreed with the author's position and voted to introduce the law-in-draft into the agenda of the plenary session.
