The fate of the MMP

Built in 1985, Metallurgical Plant in Rybnitsa was the pride of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. In better times a quarter of the national budget revenues amounted to charges of metallurgists, and the treasury of Ribnita was formed by MMZ taxes by 70%. Everything changed abruptly when a Russian investor, one of the richest men in Russia, Alisher Usmanov, has left the factory, and the company became public.

A long-term Director of Moldavian Metallurgical Plant, deputy of the Supreme Council of five convocations, one of the founders of the republic Anatoly Belitchenko proposed an initiative to discuss the future of MMP at the site of the first consultative meeting of Pridnestrovian deputies. He told his colleagues as long and hard working team of metallurgists was to ensure that the MMP in the early 2000 has entered the top 10 best metallurgical plants in the world. Former general director spoke of highly skilled workers, the last modernization will produce products in volume three times larger than planned design capacity of changing owners, the support of the then leadership of the republic ... and how painful to watch him on the current state of plant- flagship.

The verdict of former general director was disappointing - about the future of the plant with the leadership is highly questionable. The fact that the MMP has always been not only a city-forming enterprise for Rybnitsa, but "republic-establishing", recalled the deputies of the Supreme Council and the Supreme Council of the first convocation, who are well aware of the great potential of the metallurgical plant.

About how to prepare parliamentary inquiry about the state of the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant, which preceded it, which then followed, he told senior colleagues one of its authors, the deputy of the Supreme Council Vadim Kravchuk.

Many pioneering members who spoke in the debate told about the fact that all this is necessary to carefully deal with the involvement of civil society, public of Rybnitsa and the republic

In this regard, it was suggested to carry out a thorough check of the plant administration activities with the involvement of experts of the Accounting Chamber, the Prosecutor's Office, the Investigative Committee, the State Security Committee. Members of a deliberative assembly have taken decision on the results of discussions on this issue.
