Part 16
Speaking during his annual televised Q&A session with the public,Russian Prime Minster Vladimir Putin
The session lasted for about three hours. The Russian Prime Minister and the leader of the most popular Russian political party, United Russia, covered a variety of issues ranging from the global financial crisis to relations with Europe and the United States to purely domestic topics.
В прямом эфире телеканалов «Россия» и «Вести», радиостанций «Маяк» и «Радио России» Владимир Путин Председатель Правительства и лидер партии «Единая Россия» ответил на вопросы, поступившие в общественные приемные Председателя партии, заданные по телефону, sms, а также через сайт программы.Трансляция идет из Гостиного двора в Москве.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Yes, this is true, but the point at issue, as I said when answering the fist question, is the size of the budget.
We decided that maternity capital would be provided to the families and the mothers who give birth to a second child. We may consider the problem again, and try to make amendments to it, but the deputies will first have to calculate how fast our social obligations with grow, and if we will be able to meet them.
Somebody asked at the beginning of this session if we would be able to meet our obligations in conditions of the current crisis, and I replied firmly that yes, we will be able to do so. The question Maria has formulated calls for additional resources and calculations. On the other hand, we are trying to encourage the families that have decided to have more children. This brings me to the issue of mortgages, which we've also received questions about. I believe that the use of maternity capital in the amounts planned to begin on January 1, 2010 may be moved to early 2009 in view of the financial problems in the world and in this country, so as to allow the families and mothers to use this money to pay off their mortgages.
To be able to do so, we need to amend legislation and the budget. I am going to issue a directive to the Government today, and I'm confident that the United Russia party and other parties in the State Duma will support it.
ERNEST MACKEVICIUS: Maria, you probably did not hear but Mr Putin has asked you personally what you have done to improve the demographic situation. I repeat this question.
MARIA SITTEL: I have a wonderful daughter, but I promise to work on this problem some more in the future.
ERNEST MACKEVICIUS: Thank you.
Back to work. We have Khabarovsk on the line. Pavel, do you have any more questions?
PAVEL ZARUBIN: Yes, Ernest, you probably saw many raised hands here, many questions. Please, any more questions?
OKSANA KLIMOVA: Good afternoon, Mr Putin. My name is Oksana Klimova. I'd like to express the pain of many people who live in the Far East. We feel detached from central Russia, since many families cannot buy train or air tickets, because air tickets cost around 30,000 roubles or even more. My kid asked me if we could go to St Petersburg for winter holidays, but I said No.
What will be done for the healthcare and education professionals to help them afford such luxury?
Thank you.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: I agree that this is an acute problem which badly needs a solution. It has many component parts.
First, it is the pool of our aircraft, and what I mean is not so much their safety as their economic efficiency, or rather economic inefficiency.
The planes made back in Soviet times consume too much fuel, are not competitive, and hence are loss-making. This prompts the following question: Should we allow our air carriers to buy foreign planes and in this way stop the revival of the national aircraft industry, or must they continue to use technically sound but inefficient Soviet-made aircraft?
I think the solution lies somewhere in-between, as it often happens. We will allow airlines, first, to buy such aircraft as our industry will not produce and, second, to lease the aircraft our industry plans to manufacture. We will lease foreign-made aircraft and will return them as soon as we start producing the aircraft of the same quality, noise and fuel standards. So much for the first problem.
