OREANDA-NEWS. March 31, 2009. Premier of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko declares the anti-crisis program exists and the Government is systematically working to implement it. The Head of Government informed on air of the Svoboda Slova program on ICTV channel.

“The Gov’t Program contains eleven adjusted strategic lines that are the blocks of anti-crisis program,” Yulia Tymoshenko explained. According to her, the fact that the anti-recessionary program of the Government has not been voted in the Parliament doesn’t influence the process of implementation: “We are trying to introduce it into reality day after day”.

Yulia Tymoshenko noted in the framework of implementation of the anti-crisis program the Government has made revision of all revenues of the State Budget, eliminated ways to evade paying taxes and minimized irrational expenditures.

Moreover, Yulia Tymoshenko imparted the Government is being demanded to balance financial accounts of Naftogaz of Ukraine NJSC at the account of twofold increase of gas tariffs for the population within a year, to cut expenses of the Pension Fund by means of raising the pension age as well as abolition of pensions for the working pensioners. “We have managed to do the impossible in the bail-out pension block so that no thought arose such things are to be done. As the Prime Minister I will afford neither the former nor the latter – neither raise of the pension age nor abolition of pensions for the working pensioners,” the Head of Government accentuated.

That’s why, as Yulia Tymoshenko put it, the second block of the anti-crisis program contains balancing of the Pension Fund. Yulia Tymoshenko imparted the pensions are well-balanced at the account of special expenses of the budget nowadays. According to her, the pensions are paid without delays, to the day and owing to the systematic activity of the Government revenues of the Pension Fund are being overfulfilled: “Don’t feel anxious about that, the pensions will be paid”.

Besides, Yulia Tymoshenko assured the Gov’t has managed and will further fulfil all liabilities to the budget employees in payment of salaries and won’t afford layoffs.
