OREANDA-NEWS. July 14, 2011. Opening speech of the First vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Andriy Klyuyev at the Cabinet of Ministers session.

12 July 2011 by the Decree of the President of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych Anatoly Blyznyuk was appointed on a position of the Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine. I want to congratulate Anatoly Blyznyuk.

1) 10 July in Dubrovytsy district territorial center which provides social services in Rivne region was an extensive fire that led to deaths and other serious consequences.

Ukrainian society met this event with great sadness and dismay.

According to the Decree of the President of Ukraine, the Government Commission is created to investigate the causes of fire. The Government has allocated 7 million UAH for the elimination of the fire and assistant for the victims and bereaved families.

In connection with the tragedy and accepted system solutions, the Government will continue to introduce more stringent requirements for fire safety.

Thus there is a commission to the Ministry of Emergencies, the Ministry of Social Policy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs local executive authorities to strengthen control over the unconditional observance of fire safety at the facilities of social services, children in institutions and rehabilitation centers, health facilities, educational facilities, and areas of events.

In order to prevent occurrence of natural and man-made disasters it is necessary to closely monitor the situation in areas where there is a fire-dangerous situation. It is necessary to make everything to reduce to a minimum a possibility of recurrence of such scale disasters.

It is necessary to take exhaustive measures to check on the specified objects of conformity of energy equipments and electro devices to the installed requirements, compliance with norms and rules of use of natural gas for household needs, a technical condition of electric networks, fire-prevention automatics systems.

We should to ensure unhindered access of representatives of regulatory and supervisory authorities in the period taking measures and monitoring the implementation of their decisions.

2) Concerning a sanitary-epidemic situation. The government repeatedly required adhering to sanitary norms and rules in children's institutions of health improvement and rest and in areas of mass rest of people.

According to the information of the Ministry of Health, the epidemic situation in the specified institutions remains strained, but stable.

Dear colleagues, I am sorry, but I am once again compelled to bring to your attention on the unfavorable situation in the health of children.

Yesterday in the Sevastopol city to an infectious branch of city hospital, with signs of food poisoning, 78 children and six adults from camp of rest "Albatros" are hospitalized.

Children and adults receive necessary treatment and positive dynamics of illness is marked.

The Sanitary Epidemiological Station establishes the reasons and takes measures on avoidance of possible epidemic.

Heavy cases of diseases in other health improvement establishments it has not been fixed.

But I want to emphasize another - the Ministry of Health once again has not worked on an advancing.

It causes greater concern, as inefficiency of existing system, suggests, that this case with a poisoning of children maybe not the last.

Therefore, once again I charge the leadership of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sport, the Ministry of Emergencies within the limits of the competence to take additional measures on a large increase of a security of children during their health improvement.

I pay attention of heads of regions, especially southern, to an indispensability of improvement of sanitary and epidemic well-being of the population during all summer period.

I charge the main state sanitary doctor of Ukraine (Ponomarenko) to provide carrying out of mandatory preventive medical surveys of workers of separate trades, manufactures and the organizations which activity are connected with service of the population and can lead to propagation of infectious diseases, in particular check up availability of personal medical books.
I asked the Minister of Health to check up all the enterprises, which deliver food production and check its quality. It is very important question. Because parents want, that their children were healthy, and they are in a hospital. Therefore, please, you minister, is your question. I asked you to report me every day about situation across all Ukraine.

3) Now I want to say a few words about the legislative work.

Eighth session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine finished its work last week, the session was quite fruitful.

During the session, thanks to coordinated efforts of the President of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers the Parliament adopted 221 Act.

It is considered 156 draft laws submitted by the Cabinet of Ministers.

Most of the bills initiated by the Government are directed to reform the legislative framework in accordance with reforms of Ukraine's President.

The Cabinet has a clear political will to implement all necessary changes. We can conclude that the reforms have already given the first results.

Business, despite the first cautious reaction, reacted positively to the new economic policy: the revenue in the state budget is gradually increasing.

In the area of foreign policy we also have positive shifts. For the first time for all years of independence the European prospect of Ukraine neatly was outlined.

The government has reached significant progress in negotiations with EU concerning signing the Agreement on association that will allow us to deepen economic cooperation with the European Union already in this year.

The important steps on a way of the further progress of cooperation with countries of the CIS, in particular with the Russian Federation are carried out.

4) Next question is harvesting. 

Harvesting is conducting in 18 regions. Now it is threshed almost 2 million hectares, it is threshed more than 6.4 million tons of grain. Productivity – 28.4 quintal per one hectare (a level of the last year for the same date – 24.3 quintal per one hectare).

In carrying out of a complex of harvesting works it is involved 53 thousand combine harvesters.

For acceleration of harvest we involve 5.8 thousand high-efficiency combines.

It is necessary to note, that the general level of technical readiness of agricultural machinery is better than the last year.

Regions report that they increased provision of technology needs of farmers with fuel. Diesel - by 78%, gasoline - 76% that is more, than for the appropriating period of the last year.

If the positive situation of harvesting continues, it can be expected that grain exports from the current crop can make, according to preliminary estimates, up to 20 million tons, including wheat - to 9 million tons.

It will be if internal demands and transitive stocks are provided.

At the same time, the background is pretty bad performance on crop condition deteriorated forage. In the agricultural enterprises of all types of forage availability per head is a conventional lower against the previous year by 13%.

Because of the MAP again demand: will pay attention to improving the forage base. Due to prolonged rainfall situation has improved forage crops. It should ensure their procurement.

 
At the same time, on a background enough good parameters on a crop, condition of a forage reserve have worsened. In agricultural productions availability of forages of all types counting upon 1 conditional head is less than parameter of the last year on 13 %.

Therefore I demand the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food once again to pay attention to a problem of improvement of a forage reserve. Owing to long rains the condition of forage crops significantly has been improved. It is necessary to provide their preparation.

5) Dear colleagues! I want to bring a focus to investment processes. In February of this year the Cabinet of Ministers had been approved the frame Program of progress of investment and innovative activity of Ukraine (till 2015).

Despite of an increase of deliveries of investments, investment processes, in our opinion, are developing slowly.

It is some reasons for such position. Among them it is necessary to name passivity of a lot of central authorities which have been called up under the competence to stimulate processes of innovative activity.

This problem is particularly acute, given that the global economy for over twenty years operates in the fifth and sixth technological lifestyles.

I require the Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sport with the State Agency for Science, Innovation and Information, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, the Ministry of Finance and other interested central executive bodies, academies of sciences to intensify its work, focus and resource potential to support scientific and technical developments in these areas, make proposals for their proceedings in domestic production.

Taking into account of it at formation of parameters of the project of the State budget for 2012 will allow to provide realization of appropriating innovative projects within the limits of the Program of progress of investment and innovative activity of Ukraine.

6) Following the instructions of еру President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and the Government in connection with the reform of the system of paid administrative services necessary to restore order, using the proceeds of their provision.

According to the State Treasury of Ukraine for six months on account of providing administrative services, under the law, are provided by enterprises, non-budget institutions and organizations subordinated to the ministries and departments received only 2.5 million UAH. This means that a huge financial resource is located outside the State Budget of Ukraine.
 
Yesterday I read a statement on the matter, no region, except in Kyiv, and no central executive bodies, nor any ministry, no one - only Kyiv has transferred money to the treasury accounts. Please I ask to restore order - all of the payment of administrative services.

I set the task: the first - the heads of central executive bodies have to under the personal responsibility to take exhaustive measures to open separate accounts in the State Treasury of Ukraine on departmental basis for admission to the Special Fund of the State budget revenue for charging for administrative services that, under the law, provided by enterprises, non-budget institutions and organizations subordinate to the ministries and departments. I asked you to complete this procedure to 20.07.2011, and report me.

The second – the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Security Service of Ukraine and the financial inspections to check the use of funds for providing administrative services provided by enterprises, non-budget institutions and organizations subordinate to the ministries and departments and to inform the Government on results within a month. This must be done - it is very important.

Dear colleagues!

status of payments of consumers for natural gas;
