The Supreme Council will open the spring session on January 17

The Supreme Council will open the spring VII session of the VII convocation on January 17. Deputies will consider in the first reading the draft of a new state program to replace lamps with mercury-containing lamps for street lighting of public roads with LED lamps. The state program is designed for 5 years; it will reduce the degree of environmental pollution with toxic substances and reduce the costs of the republican budget, since new LED lamps consume almost half as much electricity.

Parliamentarians will consider legislations concerning a simplified procedure for transferring ownerless dams into state ownership in the second final reading.

A number of issues were added to tomorrow’s agenda at the meeting of the Presidium of the Supreme Council. Deputies will discuss in particular the law-in-draft to amend the Customs Code on January 17. The goal is to stop the application of a special customs procedure in relation to goods transported by land users of agricultural land plots in the Dubossary region. Such goods include planting material, fertilizers, plant protection products, agricultural machinery, and grown agricultural products.

Members of the Presidium sent official explanations prepared by the Committees to requests received regarding current legal norms.

The next plenary meeting, according to the decision of the Presidium, is scheduled for the 24th of January.
