Tatarstan President takes part in third meeting of Tatarstan State Council of the fifth convocation

On October 30, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov and Tatarstan State Counsellor Mintimer Shaimiev took part in the third meeting of Tatarstan State Council of the fifth convocation.

Chairman of Tatarstan State Council Committee for Culture, Science, Education and National Affairs Razil Valeev proposed to include the issue related to construction of a building for the Tatarstan National Library into the agenda. “The issue of construction of the building for the main book depository of the republic has a half-century-long history. The first resolution was adopted in 1960 during preparation for 100th anniversary of the library. Since then, five more resolutions have been adopted by the Government and the Supreme Council of TASSR,” Ravil Valeez noted.

He also offered to see into the implementation of resolutions on construction of the building of the National Library adopted over more than half a century ago.

State Council Chairman Farid Mukhametshin said to include the issue in the agenda without prior preparation of documents and consultations with the Government and offered to come back to the issue at the next meetings of the State Council.

By and large more than 70 issues including additional ones put forward by the deputies will be considered during the meeting.

Today, members of the State Council discussed the budget bill of the Republic of Tatarstan for 2014 and the planning period of 2015 and 2016 with amendments to it. The document envisages, in particular, the increase in the budget revenues and expenditures in the current financial year.

Previously approved parameters of the budget for the planning period of 2015 and 2016 remained unchanged.
