The Government is ready to cooperate with the Ukrainian
Parliament and looking forward to expedite work on the adoption of efficient
laws necessary for the development of the country. Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr
Groysman announced in his opening statement during a Government session on
Thursday.
"I think that the task of the new session of Parliament
and our fellow MPs is to accelerate our joint activities. I want to reiterate
that the Government stands ready to interact with MPs, committees, factions of
the Ukrainian Parliament. We are eager for constructive, efficient work, to ensure
that as a result of the adoption of the laws crucial for the country's
development we obtain high quality", said Volodymyr Groysman.
The Head of the Government reminded that on Tuesday the
Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine had opened its fifth session.
Volodymyr Groysman noted that for a couple of years, the Verkhovna Rada of the VIII
convocation had been working on a number of important bills, which are now introduced
into life. Over this period we have managed to enact about 500 laws. In
particular, while Volodymyr Groysman was in the office of Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada there
was formed the entire base of anti-corruption legislation, on reforming the
National police, the laws related to the decentralization of power and
deregulation, "and other laws that actually began to change the country”.
However,
the Prime Minister stressed that the quantity cannot be a criterion to evaluate
the work of Parliament.
"Our
main problem in recent years is the speed of reforms. If we advanced faster, I
think, these reforms would have yielded more positive results", urged Volodymyr
Groysman.
The Head of
Government highlighted the need to enhance fruitful cooperation with the
Verkhovna Rada and noted that the Government will do its utmost with this
purpose.
"I am
looking forward to synergy with the Ukrainian Parliament and beginning our work,
thereby bringing about positive changes", summed up the PM.
