The wolf eats and nobody listens

"Gazprom" wants ... he always wants a lot!"Gazprom" wants to raise the price of its gas to offset the tax increase
 
By the government's plan, approved late last year, the indexation of prices of "Gazprom" to 15% was to take place on July 1. But the "Gazprom" offers yet another increase - by 26.3% from October 1 to all customers, except for housing and populationBy the government's plan, approved late last year, the indexation of prices of "Gazprom" to 15% was to take place on July 1. But the "Gazprom" offers yet another increase - by 26.3% from October 1 to all customers, except for housing and population, according to "Vedomosti".The average price in this case would be about 17% higher than last year - so "Gazprom" expects to compensate for the doubling of the severance tax on gas is introduced from the beginning of this year.In February, "Gazprom" has estimated that its losses from the severance tax increase would amount to 64 billion: Russian price index will give 50 billion additional revenue and additional costs for severance tax - 114 billion rubles.


With the indexing, which offers "Gazprom" to the end of the year to the average price is about 4,000 rubles per 1,000 cubic meters. m without VAT, or 137 dollars at current exchange rate. This is 45% higher than now, and almost twice as much as, for example, stock prices for gas in the U.S. (about $ 71, based on Russian standards).Presidential elections were held and the government does not have any barriers to increasing gas prices, says director of East European Gas Analysis Mikhail Korchemkin. Of course, the business will be dissatisfied, especially energy, but the investment program of "Gazprom" is above all, especially given the order to accelerate the construction of the multi-billion dollar gas pipeline "South Stream".Offers of "Gazprom" - a disaster for the power industry: the companies who have CHP - core assets, are already working on the verge of profitability. Energetics constrain prices to keep growing social tensions, he says, but it will still grow because they will break the pipe in areas where power is not to be missed for repairs, the magazine writes, with reference to its source in the energy company.Rates of Power can also be released, because the elections were held, the director admits the Energy Development Fund Sergey Pikin.But officials are still cautious in their assessments. No there are no solutions, the analysis is probably more a question of price indexation of "Gazprom" will be discussed Friday at a field meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin-------------------------------------------------- ---------------
 
The tariff policy of the state and its impact on living standards.

We, the residents, accustomed to the everyday problems and it seems completely lost hope that they can somehow be resolved.We humbly live in houses with leaking roofs, flooded basements, porches neremontiruemymi, messy yards. We finally lost faith that the council can be found on the heads of utilities that can be easily cut off the water in our homes, electricity, gas or condemn people to freeze in the offseason, delaying start of heating, explaining that all the debts of housing and communal services. And while not mentioning that 90% of housing debt to arise due to embezzlement of officials at various levels of power, and not because of non-payment of public utilities. The same debts and is constantly growing by leaps and bounds, the tariffs for monopolies, we explain the rising prices of utilities. Every year we have to pay for housing maintenance, more and more, but it does not affect the quality of service.Buy a new apartment for most of us - an impossible dream. And that is typical, prices for new housing continues to grow, beating all the new records, despite all attempts to implement the President declared national projectsSo is it possible to somehow resolve these issues of concern to most citizens?
First of all, we believe, we must openly and honestly identify these problems and analyze them biased. There can not be satisfied with the explanations received charge of the work of housing managers, and to try, based on the evidence of employment in this sector of people to understand what and how. It is necessary to clarify whether the municipality is working to solve our common problems, or just pretend that cares about the interests of citizens, is whether in fact the interests of the citizens or the source of these problems makes their incomes City Council, where the interests of the people "to the light bulb?" In the meantime, one thing is clear that the answers to these questions can only be acting in concert. I hope that we have gathered.Previous colleagues have already said quite a lot in detail about the new LCD. That is why I focus only on the highlights. In order that the new LCD is not marked, but clearly visible. The new Housing Code generally no concept of the priority right to obtain housing. If the adoption of the law on the monetization of the right of priority for social housing already lost Chernobyl and the disabled, then under the new Housing Code, this right is deprived of war invalids, families of the victims, mothers of large families, single mothers - they will get housing on general grounds. That clearly shows how the current government takes care of correcting the demographic situation in the future to serve in the army, on general grounds, apparently, will the children of senior officials.
 
In an even more difficult situation, with the introduction of the new Housing Code, are residents of slum housing.First, now that the demolition of dilapidated housing unfit or they will flat with the same area, and not in accordance with established standards. Second, even if they receive social housing, it still will not be able to become its owners, and will be forced, if they wish to leave the children or relatives, to redeem it from the state.The owners of dilapidated and unsuitable accommodation will be the market value of his hovel, and to assess housing officials will be. So for my house, you can get the money, which may be enough, except that a decent tourist tent, but no more.For clarity, I repeat - the state, adopting a new LCD, this edition aims to:A. Narrow the range of people entitled to free social housing;Two. Do not provide shelter to citizens free of charge.Three. Reduce the cost of providing new housing to replace demolished;4. Isolate the owners to impose a new tax on their property, has calculated the market value of housing;Five. Strengthen the role of officials in the management of social processes, making people more dependent on their decision.
 
But I would like to pay more, in his speech, attention is not a new LCD, and tariff policy, since it fully reflects the essence of our state and our present government. For over twelve years, we are told that Russia is built, though somehow awkward and difficult, the market economy, but presented at a government meeting the basic parameters of a three-year economic forecast, which indicates that in 2006, electricity tariffs will rise by 7.5%, tariffs on w / e transportation to - 8%, for gas - 11% in 2007 to electricity - 6.5% at x / d transportation to - 7%, the gas already planned - 15% in 2008 for electricity - 5.5% at x / d transportation to-5.5%, for gas at 7%, plus inflation from 4 to 8%, some say otherwise.The question is, where is the market economy for development is advocated as the current leaders? What the government is developing, establishing a tariff increase? Maybe they know in advance that it is in such proportion will increase the costs of enterprises producing and supplying electricity and gas, as well as the railroad and the? Of course not. But, for the whole economy and for the citizens of this growth will result in the growth rates actually in production costs, higher prices for all goods and services, and accordingly, slowing the pace of development, rising unemployment and lower living standards.A strange situation when the ministers at a cabinet meeting, state that the rate of growth of domestic production falls, as if worried about our economy, and then, rather than to propose measures to overcome the situation, offer further strangle the growth of the domestic producer tariffs electricity, gas, railway transportation, and even the top cover inflation. To make sure.All the more strange to see such zeal of ministers, in the desire to help our "poor" monopolists, because of the growth rates will not lead to the completion of the budget of the country, but rather the opposite, in fact drop the profitability of industrial and agricultural producers and, consequently, reduce the taxable base.As marketeers pursuing our ministers, putting this growth rate? Naturally, the answer to this question lies in the material interests and the interests of the so-called natural monopolies, can be traced very clearly. It is they, the owners of monopolies and benefit from the growth rates. Neither the cost nor the ruble to increase productivity, nor on the conversion of production or the improvement of working methods, or to reduce the administrative apparatus, they receive a significant increase in profits. And to them and there is no need to do it. They, like any monopoly, which tend to increase their profits not by reducing production costs and prices through regulation, planning, growth rates. And, in this case, do not have seven rocket scientist to guess that our major monopolies in the energy and gas sectors, as well as, and railroad workers, lobbied for their interests, and laid a revenue growth. Prepared, so to speak, a stage, then to explain to citizens that the tariff increase under the plan approved by the government.But we do what ordinary citizens and the economy, from this no easier. What is the difference between us, as we will rob the monopoly? According to the government plan, or when they want and how they want. Well, apparently our ministers believe that the plan would be more honest.It turns out that when people ask: Why prices for products and industrial goods, why inflation is unwound, the officials say that we are not here and, as we have a market economy, and businesses set their own prices for their products, and Inflation, as expressed Alexei Kudrin, in the newspaper "Izvestia", is due to the rapid growth of tariffs for housing and communal services. However, for unclear reasons, we, because of what growing tariffs for housing and utilities, finance minister once modestly silent. And when people are trying to figure out what has caused, higher prices for electricity and gas, he said that it planned government strategy.Let us rejoice citizens! Finally, our government came the economic outlook, and not for one year and the next three years, and now, according to their forecast, every few years we will be more and more to pay for goods and services. However, in passing, we have learned who our friends who are ministers and dearer to them. But what are we from this knowledge?Statements of the President, which he announced in his address - "The wolf eats and nobody listens," can be fully attributed to the policy of state monopolies, which are accelerated tempo increase their incomes. Just two weeks ago, Minister of Economic Development (MEDT), German Gref admitted that the prices of "Gazprom" and RAO "UES of Russia" will be increased more than expected MEDT and the Ministry of Finance. Decision in principle that the tariff level radioactive waste and "Gazprom" will be above the expected level of inflation, it was decided at a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov. In particular, it was decided that the gas price will rise by 15%, electricity - 10%, and railway transport - by 7.5%. The minister said that the final refined forecasts of economic development for 2007-2009, as well as the tariff ceilings would be made to the government next week. Gref also said that in the long-term gas prices in the domestic and foreign markets are equalized. Assess the implications of this statement the Minister is not difficult when you consider that now the domestic gas is 4-5 times cheaper than abroad. However, "it will not happen quickly, to avoid disruption" - the minister said.The Minister said the citizens of Russia, that they should, once again, be prepared to fork out for the services of state monopolies, but not really scared of this, as this will be done not instantly, but gradually.Just like in the movies! Remember how the Humpback (played Dzhegarhanyan) Sharapova said: "Do not be afraid. We'll slaughter does not hurt. " Here are just citizens, like Sharapova, from this no easier. The more that pay for gas and electricity prices on the world, our citizens will have to pay out of his Russian, which is not up to the world.In this situation, we see that suffering, that is, for all paying the least secure, and we have it - ordinary citizens. That they had no legal protection. The Government states that seek to address the interests of all segments of the population, but in reality has a policy in the interests of big capital. Today, like, for the interests of the citizens have to fight the deputies, but as we see, this is not happening.Naturally, the increase in tariffs for gas, electricity, and w / e transport entails an increase in utility rates. There is a growing price of hot and cold water, the price for the warmth and care, that is, repair and maintenance. Well, who take care to the same extent increased our income? None but ourselves.For residents Karaseozerska living in cottages on one million dollars or more, and for our ministers, their revenues are estimated in millions, no matter how much a cubic meter of gas, or kilowatts of electricity, and for poor people, especially pensioners - this question is vitally important today. Therefore, for this category of citizens is very important, how much to pay for utilities, toli 1500 rubles, 2000 rubles felts.Today, we are told, that's enough to sit on the neck at the state and it is time to move to 100% for housing. And how much does it - 100%? Yesterday it was 1000 rubles, 2000 rubles today, and tomorrow bude 4000 - 5000 rubles. After all, prices are increasing every year. Speaking of 100% payment, our statesmen are silent, that this amount includes the entire share of bureaucratic extortion and excess profits of the monopolists.We could say, well, let us we will pay 100% for housing, but then we must receive at 5-6% per cent of its work, and one hundred percent, and pensions of those who created and all of these plants should be 2000 -3000 are not thousands of rubles, and 30 million. And not any taxes. That's just how business will then profit from the state budget is there, and by what means will be filled with Stabilization Fund? It's no attempt to speak. Do not they say, and that the budget is not the property of officials at various levels, and overall you have a pocket designed to address common issues, including the payment of housing issues. But today we can not do this because they act toward us on behalf of the State on behalf of the general, and we as a disconnected private.Why did all this happen? Why is our government seeks to tear an ordinary citizen three skins, not thinking about the consequences? And because it is not our power to you. This is the power of the representatives of big capital. So she is not aimed at the development of the whole society, and to make profits.
 
So go and laws that infringe on citizens' rights and violations of the Constitution. This is not the unfinished legislation, as some say, and the laws that protect the interests of dominant capital and corrupt officials. To understand this and walk away is not necessary. Look who is present today in our meeting, to hold that knows the power and MPs. Where are the leaders of the regional branch of "United Russia", or other parties represented in Parliament? They are not. They have better things to do than the interests of ordinary citizens. It is during election campaigns, they shout at each corner of the "Great Russia", which they want in words but in fact take away the budgets of different levels, but provide a field for business. Today, our parties are more similar to the Sicilian Mafia clans, rather than parties representing certain sections of the people.Not the best way our city looks and power. Also Oleg Vahaleevicha Khabibullina nobody deigned to attend our meeting. What we have in power is clearly seen in the tariff policy. I hope that everyone remembers as the municipal authorities acted after the federal government increase the tariffs. They have to have increased and increased and by 1-2%, and 10 to 15 percent. What does that mean? We choose a mayor and city council, so that they express and defend our interests, and they think only of his own pocket. Think about how to be more with us tear. Good self-management, which is more like to arbitrariness. Today we can say that what the state - this and tariff policy. You do not have illusions that the government expresses and protects our interests. If we do not understand, then wake up and running on this vicious circle.I think you are perfectly aware that at first we fought against predatory privatization, then hyperinflation, then the monetization, and now with the new anti-popular LCD. The question is, what we will fight tomorrow, and for what? For his plots, or for the opportunity to work? It should be understood that while we, the people who do not choose and do not control the power, it will be a parasite on the body of the people, eating it. Today, as the situation with the national projects, with such authority, even the good wish for the center, to solve the housing problem, turn rising costs of housing. Take the example of elections in the city of Yekaterinburg. Participated in the election just over 20% of the population. Of these, 50% were pensioners, deluded ideologues of the current administration of the city and around 1-2% of the voting was conscious. Here is the result. Today, the city controls the government, representing 2% of the population.Conclusion: the need to firmly grasp and uncompromisingly to the principle that free people choose their own leaders, and control their own activities, and are not subject to an imposed, or who made his way to power through money and lies, and usurped it. Then we have and will not be problems that we now have to address, and spend their time, instead of having to spend time on themselves, on their loved ones.Currently, the city formed the Committee for the Protection of the rights of owners of premises of apartment buildings, whose members are trying to resist the implementation of an organized anti-popular LCD, and today it is very important, whether the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg will support this Committee will support if their demands to the authorities of all levels of government, or be indifferent watch. How to behave like citizens, and the situation will develop.Vitaly Glukhov, a member of the Committee for the Protection of the rights of owners of premises of apartment buildings in Ekaterinburg
