The Work on the Budget: New Stage

December 24, 2014 the Supreme Council adopted the laws “On the national budget for 2015 and the planning period 2016 and 2017” and “On the budget of the Unified State Social Insurance Fund PMR for 2015 and the planning period of 2016-2017”. The documents were signed by the President in accordance with current legislation, and December 31, 2014 were published in the newspaper “The Pridnestrovie”. These laws, as expected, take effect from the beginning of the new fiscal year - January 1, 2015, however, their individual articles were vetoed or left untreated by President.

In an interview with press service of the Supreme Council Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Economic Policy, Budget and Finance Oleg Vasilaty emphasized the unsigned provision of a statute by the President. They relate to the sources of income Social Stabilization Fund. Previously, parliamentarians voted in favor of the direction of the fund part of the profits of the central bank of Pridnestrovie (54 million 232 thousand Rub.), as well as state unitary enterprises and of state-owned (45 million 747 thousand Rub.).

Oleg Vasilaty drew attention to the fact that President along with this vetoed the Article 15 of the law adopted by people's deputies “On the budget of the Unified State Social Insurance Fund PMR for 2015 and the planning period of 2016-2017”. It just provides for the payment of monthly extra help for pensioners of the republic in the amount of 100 rubles. The law adopted by the parliament supposed to send 170 million rubles for these purposes. President introduced new mechanism for these payments, the amount of which will be 50 rubles for every retiree in January of this year.

As is clear from the text of the law published on the national budget, the President does not agree with the members of the Supreme Council in the provision of the republic budget loans to finance the cost of fuel and seed, planting material, fertilizers, pesticides for agricultural production to peasant (farmer) economy.

The first paragraph of Article 37, concerning the allocation in 2015 from the state budget to local budgets of cities and districts transfers at ensuring social obligations in the total amount of 177 million 987 thousand rubles was vetoed.

The head of the profile parliamentary committee in conclusion with the interview said that the Supreme Council is familiar only with the textual part of the main financial document, published in the official press. As you know, the law contains numerous applications. According to Oleg Vasilaty, the Supreme Council have not yet received it, however, as the basis for denying the vetoed rules. That is why parliamentarians do not currently have comprehensive information about all provisions of the law on the national budget for 2015 and the planning period of 2016 and 2017 vetoed by the President. However, all these documents will be considered at the legislature in January.
