RF State Duma to ratify agreement on Central Asian anti-drug centre
MOSCOW, February 22 (Itar-Tass) -- The Russian State Duma lower
parliament house on Tuesday will ratify the agreement on a Central Asian anti-drug information and coordination centre signed by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
The document will be presented by first deputy director of the Russian
deferral anti-drug authority Vladimir Kalanda.
The centre is supposed to be a permanent body "helping to organize and
take coordinated international measures to counteract illegal drug
trafficking." The centre will "collect, store, protect and analyse
information on trans-border drug-related crimes." It will be financed
through contributions of its member countries and funds from sponsor
states (Great Britain, Italy, Canada, Luxembourg, the United States,
Turkey, Finland, France, and the Czech Republic) and international
organizations.
Today's Government Hour at the State Duma will be attended by
Minister of Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina, who will address
issues "related to innovation activities, which are lacking in this
country so far," as State Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov put it earlier. In his words, the situation in this area must be improved in the context of "modernization and fulfilment of the tasks set forth in the 2020 strategy," Gryzlov said. Another subject for discussion will be problems of small businesses. "Despite the fact that small and medium businesses are developing in our country, their contribution to the country's GDP is still very poor," he noted.
The lawmakers will also have a first reading of the presidential bill
on air navigation services to Russian Defence and Interior Ministry's
aircraft. It is expected that Deputy Defence Minister Nikolai Pankov will deliver a report on the subject. The bill provides for free services to such aircraft. The Air Code will be supplemented with a provision saying that the procedure of covering such expenses is to be established by the government.
The State Duma will also discuss in the first reading a bill initiated
by the Chechen parliament proposing to cross out from the Russian
Constitution the provision banning a person to take the presidential
office for more than two consecutive terms.
