The bill on amendments to several laws of Ukraine regarding support of constitutional rights for pension of the citizens of Ukraine staying abroad (Reg. No. 6695) harmonizes the normative acts on pension provision with the Constitution of Ukraine and the Resolution of the Constitutional Court No. 25-рп/2009 of 7 October 2009. This Resolution of the Constitutional Court states that the following provisions do not meet the Constitution of Ukraine (are non-constitutional): item 2 of part one of clause 49 (on cessation of payment of pension for the period of pensioner´s stay abroad unless otherwise conditioned by the international agreement of Ukraine ratified by the Verkhovna Rada); clause 51 of the Law "On Compulsory State Retirement Insurance" (re payment of pension for the period of stay abroad provided it is conditioned by the international agreement of Ukraine ratified by the Verkhovna Rada).

 

The authors suggest excluding part three of clause 1 of the Law "On Pension Provision", whereby pension provision of the Ukrainian citizens residing abroad is based on the agreements (treaties) with other states, and part one of clause 92, whereby the citizens who permanently reside abroad are not eligible for pension.

 

The People´s Deputies expressed their remarks concerning other provisions of the bill.
