11/Nov/09
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko intends to veto a law to allocate 1 billion UAH. from the National Bank of Ukraine for overcoming the epidemic of influenza.
According to an UNIAN correspondent, he told reporters during a “hot” telephone line in the newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine”.
“I am with this law will do as well as with the law on Euro-2012”, - said Victor Yushchenko.
The President noted that the state budget in 2009 to date, lacks 30% of revenue. According to Yushchenko, the prime minister can not afford to finance even the urgent issues.
Therefore, as he said, according to Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, the only way of funding is the issue of the hryvnia. However, the President said, such steps would inevitably lead to the devaluation of the hryvnia.
According to him, therefore, Tymoshenko conducts unfair policy. It added to Yushchenko, she does not mention the emission emissions, but at the same time tries to take 1 billion UAH. the National Bank, which is not where to get.
“I will not be the author of such policies. How can, I will oppose this policy “, - assured President Yushchenko.
However, he stressed that his decision to veto this law does not mean that he will not give recommendations where to get funds to fight the flu.
He added that the response on funding resources, he must give.
