LEONID KUCHMA HAD TO AGREE WITH YEVHEN MARCHUK...

Interfax-Ukraine reported last week that President Kuchma signed the VR-approved
Law "On the Temporary Ban on Raising the Prices and Tariffs of Housing,
Municipal and Public Transport Services Rendered to Citizens of Ukraine."
Parliament overruled the President's veto on the bill, as challenged by
Verkhovna Rada's Committee for Social Policy and Labor, headed by Yevhen
Marchuk. The Committee motivated its objection by the fact that most citizens
of Ukraine cannot even afford existing prices because of chronic back wages
and pensions. At present, the populace pays 80% of the actual housing and
municipal costs. The newly enacted law forbids local councils to revise
set tariffs until complete redemption of arrears on wages and social payments.
