Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko
promises that Government will make a decision to abolish state subsidies for
the poultry producers unless the price for their production lowers by the end
of the month.
Yulia
Tymoshenko noted that permanent price rise for the poultry appears to be the main
reason of inflation. “We are still facing a monopoly plot and, at this, neither
Antimonopoly Committee not the General Prosecutor’s Office operates
the way they have to,” Yulia Tymoshenko pointed out.
Ukraine’s Premier has drawn attention to
the fact that chicken legs cost today 22-23 UAH per kilo while their wholesale
price in the world amounts 10-11 UAH. “Can you answer my question: what are those
special conditions for the Ukrainians? Why is this special policy of collusion
and corruption? And they are getting grants from the budget at this,” she
complained.
Premier has empowered respective authorities to study the situation
and normalize the price policy, as chicken legs in retail trade should not
exceed 13.50 UAH.
Besides,
Yulia Tymoshenko addressed the leaders of the Tax administration, State Pricing
Committee with a demand to deprive poultry producers of state grants in case the
poultry situation demonstrated inflation during this month.
