This year there is a very ambitious goal, which we agreed with the government. It is to not postpone the adoption of the budget until the last plenary days, but to proceed to its consideration already at the next plenary week.
On Tuesday, November 28, during the briefing, the head of the parliament, Andrei Parubiy.
He also stressed that the deputies can also start considering the amendments to the Tax Code, and then move on to considering the budget in the second reading.
At the same time, Parubiy noted that he is not sure that the Rada will manage to do this within one working day, but he will do everything possible so that this does not happen until five o'clock in the morning.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, earlier Parubius promised that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine could adopt the draft state budget for 2018 in the second reading at the next plenary week, which will begin on December 4. He also noted that he had discussed the relevant issue with Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman.
