The Bill (Reg.№4326) envisages the implementation that the every-month pension rate assigned in the special order according to certain laws can not be higher than 12 minimal salaries.
In particular it was stressed that the effective law envisages the restriction of the pensions at the rate that corresponds to the 12 minimal pension rates according to the age implemented by the article 28 of the Law "On Compulsory State Pension Insurance" that is on the 1st of October 2008 it was 5976 UAH per month (498 UAH x 12). According to the amendment suggested by the authors of the Bill minimal salary that from the April 2009 is 625 UAH it would comprise 7500 UAH per month. Consequently it would increase the expenses of the Budget of Ukraine.
The Members of the Committee expressed a great number of other remarks to the suggested Bill.
