The head of the committee, Alexander Zavitnevich, announced this on Facebook.
According to him, discussions on the debatable norms of the bill continue with representatives of the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense. In particular, with Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and Chief of the General Staff Sergei Shaptala.
It was heated, lively discussions, different arguments, sometimes even very emotional. There are a number of discussion norms that are not approved by members of the Committee. Now the main task is to find a balance between constitutional rights and the necessary measures to solve the problems of mobilization that these rights limit. It is also necessary to take into account the possibilities of the economy. There are very complex issues of financial support for mobilization activities and sources of covering needs. In general, certain provisions of the bill undergo significant changes when considered in Parliament. We plan to make the Committee’s final decision on Tuesday,” Zavitnevich said on Facebook.
Rakurs wrote that the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security allows the bill on mobilization to be returned to the Cabinet of Ministers for revision.
The committee has completed the hearing, but in order to make a decision, the anti-corruption policy committee also needs to consider this document and provide its conclusions.
There are two options – either return it to the Cabinet of Ministers for revision, or accept the project as a basis and further refine it in the Rada, which is unlikely. There are a number of discussion norms that committee members do not approve of,” noted committee member Fyodor Venislavsky in a commentary to RBC-Ukraine.
According to him, the greatest discussions in the committee were caused by the standards for:
- mobilization of people with group 3 disabilities;
- discretion of authorities – for example, heads of military administrations do not have legally clearly defined powers;
- restrictions and penalties for failure to appear at the TCC and entry into the register of debtors by decision of the head of the territorial acquisition center;
- electronic alerts.
