Lytvyn: New parliament to adopt state budget for 2013
The state budget for 2013 will be adopted by the new Verkhovna Rada, as the current parliament will unlikely have time to do it, Parliament Speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn has said.
"I think that it is unlikely to be done, because I don't see and hear the respective signals," he said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine, when asked whether the state budget for 2013 could be adopted by the current parliament.
Lytvyn said that he understood the "complexity of the adoption of the budget by the new Verkhovna Rada."
"When this issue is considered by the new Verkhovna Rada, it will be one of the first questions. It can be assumed quite obviously that there will be the first, second reading and the vote on the articles [of the draft state budget for 2013]," Lytvyn said.
The Verkhovna Rada of the seventh convocation is to hold its first meeting no later than December 17.
Earlier, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said that the government would table a draft state budget for 2013 in parliament on November 20.
