Before the start of the government meeting, he noted that the meeting would approve a corresponding resolution, the draft of which had been agreed upon at a meeting of the relevant government committee.
"We have brought the acts of the Cabinet of Ministers into compliance with the Constitution. We are not restricting anything. The restriction of the president's powers occurred after January 1, 2006, when the constitutional reform came into force," he noted.
In addition, Lavrynovych reported that the draft resolution provides for amendments to the temporary rules of procedure of the government, which stipulate that the president cannot revoke government acts but is only empowered to suspend them with simultaneous appeal to court for the annulment of the document.
Lavrynovych also recalled that the temporary rules of procedure previously contained a provision granting the president the right to give instructions to the government. According to him, the draft resolution provides that the government in its work is guided by the Constitution, the laws of Ukraine, presidential decrees and parliamentary resolutions.
Recall that the President's representative in parliament, Yuriy Klyuchkovsky, believes that the Cabinet of Ministers has no right to take away powers from the President.
