Opening Address at the State Council Session On Immediate Measures for the Implementation of Priority National Projects December 27, 2005 The Kremlin, Moscow Ð'ступительное слово на заседании Ð"осударственного совета «О первоочередных мерах по реализации приоритетных национальных проектов» 27 декабря 2005 года Москва, Кремль PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN: Good afternoon, dear colleagues! Our session is taking place literally several days before the beginning of 2006. And one of the most significant political events of this year was undoubtedly beginning to work on the highest priority questions and issues the country is confronted with, something we refer to as national projects. As you know, this work will enter a completely new phase next yearâ€"the phase of the pragmatic realization of the most pressing issues. In this connection, I considered it particularly important that here with you, my dear colleagues at the State Council, we discuss these basic questions, establish the means of collaboration between the agencies of federal and regional power, and thereby define precisely the forms of this cooperation. I consider this to be extremely important. I think that you too understand that we are obliged to consolidate as much as possible our efforts so that the most essential, vital problems for people have been solved in the most effective way. These tasks, as we recall, are in the fields of education, public health services, housing, and agriculture. A great deal of the preparatory work has already been done and important legal acts have been passed. From the first months of the coming year they will facilitate the transition to effecting various measures concerning the projects. You know that next year we shall be spending more than 160 billion roubles on these projects. I want to point out that this impressive amount imposes on all of us a great responsibility, and requires us to work harmoniously and efficiently together. All of us used to complain that there was never enough, never enough money. Now we have as much as we can cope with. I say again: it is necessary to spend it competently and efficiently. We should achieve substantial results. But it is also necessary to understand - and you too are aware of this - that, for example, in order to increase the availability of housing, a significant modernization of the sector of housing construction is required. It is not enough to just allocate the money to this program; it is necessary to undertake decisive steps to improve the way the economy works as a whole and in this sector in particular. For us it is obvious: in order for a housing program to start up in earnest, it is necessary to sort out issues related to the question of land ownership, the politics of town planning, municipal services, and access to medical care and education. We must achieve a higher level of work in these establishments and in the various branches as a whole.
