The Prime
Minister Yulia Tymoshenko suggests modernization and reconstruction of coal
mines. She announced during the meeting with heads of scientific institutions and
machine-building enterprises that ensure needs of coal industry, Cabinet's press office reported.
Yulia
Tymoshenko commissioned the Ministry of Coal Industry to prepare for
Government’s consideration a special resolution – plan of modernization and
reconstruction of coal branch for 2010 and after to elaborate a plan for three
years.
At this,
the Head of Government noted that “it is in fact a huge schedule of supply and
development of production facilities that can be bought in 2010 at the account
of credit resources and plus direct expenses from the budget that are to be spent
also for modernization and reconstruction”. According to her, there are three
sources of financing of the mentioned program – expenses of the General and
Stabilization Fund and drawing funds under the state guarantees.
“The variant
of Government is as follows: 2008-209 – we have significantly raised salaries
and pensions, 2010 – we will direct efforts for technical re-equipment,” the
Prime Minister explained and added that the Gov’t intended to raise salaries
but so that not to ruin the process of renewal of operation of mines.
At this,
Yulia Tymoshenko called on all the heads of coal enterprises to hold meetings
with their labour collectives in order to come to a
joint decision concerning plans of use of funds in 2010. “As the Government we
will resign to the opinion of the employees of the branch but I would like you
to support the Government also, as we cannot idle any longer. Old equipment,
non-effectiveness of the existent cycles which can be replaced with machines
instead of use of human resources, all these are used regardless of human
health, in spite of the effectiveness of production,” Yulia Tymoshenko
explained.
