According to the amendment to the Act on the Support of Regional Development, the Ministry of Finance should continue to decide on disputes about non-compliance with budgetary discipline, which were initiated by the regional councils of the cohesion regions before 2022. In its jurisprudence, the Supreme Administrative Court transferred decision-making to the Financial Administration, which, according to the Ministry of Finance, complicated the resolution of disputes.
The Cabinet Office said without details that the Cabinet will discuss further humanitarian aid for Ukraine. The proposal for further action should include a report on the use of state material reserves as humanitarian aid for a country affected by Russian aggression. There is also material on the agenda to increase the amount of money for service income after the change in the so-called systematization of the police this year.
