The Committee members considers the draft law No. 4318 "On amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine" (as to resumption of annual March recalculation of pensions).
The draft law offers to raise wages every March 1.
The draft law also urges the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to ensure increase of pensions from March 2016 by at least 2%.
The parties of the discussion noted that the amendments will allow annual increase of pensions by coefficient of increase of average wages in Ukraine, which will contribute to gradual "update" of earlier set pensions.
The Chairperson of the Committee Liudmyla Denisova said that today it is very important to raise social standards for the Ukrainian pensioners.
As a result of the discussion, the Committee members took the decision to recommend that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopt the draft law as a basis.
