The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has overridden the veto of the President of Ukraine on the Law of Ukraine "On Approval of the Subsistence Minimum for 2005." 365 people's deputies voted to override the veto, reports a correspondent for "proUA". \n \n \nThe law provides for approving for 2005 a subsistence minimum per person calculated per month of 423 hryvnias, as well as separately for those belonging to the main social and demographic groups of the population. In particular: for children aged up to 6 years – 376 hryvnias, for children aged from 6 to 18 years – 468 hryvnias, for able-bodied persons – 453 hryvnias, for persons who have lost their ability to work – 332 hryvnias. \n \n \nThe President of Ukraine, having returned this Law, which had been adopted by the parliament earlier, to the parliament, emphasized that this document cannot be signed because it is based on the assumption of an approximate inflation rate and this will lead to direct additional expenditures from the State Budget of Ukraine in 2005 and a reduction of its revenue portion. In this connection, the president proposed that the parliament reject this law. At the same time, only 34 people's deputies voted for the president's proposal to reject this law.
