Government agencies do not want to lose their supervisory functions
Astana. March 13. Kazakhstan Today - The government agencies do not want to lose their supervisory functions, Kazakhstan Today reports.
"We see that the government agencies do not want to lose their regulatory functions," said at a government meeting on Tuesday First Deputy Prime Minister Bakhytzhan Sagintayev.
According to him, many government agencies after the reduction of these functions in a year again initiate their recovery through other laws. "We are working on the suppression of these moments," he stressed.
"Right now we've got about 800 permits. Interdepartmental Commission since the beginning of the year already considered some 250 requests. 20 from 250 received objections, 230 were approved. Experts Group, which comprises mainly the business community, were able to prove that they should be removed," said Sagintayev.
He noted that to maintain some control functions some of the state agencies are ready to somehow explain their motives. "For example, a state agency, which operates in a peaceful area, says: "If you transfer replace our resolution function with notification ones, the threat of terrorism in the country will increase dramatically,"- he said.

Olzhas Bektenov discusses water resources management issues with Heads of Diplomatic Missions of European Union countries
The scale and consequences of the natural disaster require from us radically new approaches for the proper use of resources and avoidance of similar incidents in the future. In this matter we are particularly interested in the best practices and experience of European countries and companies. It is important to synchronise the efforts of the Government of Kazakhstan with the assistance programmes of the European Union," Olzhas Bektenov said.
The water issue is in the priority of our co-operation with Central Asia. Like other natural resources, water must have its price in order to be used efficiently. This will stimulate the introduction of more efficient technologies, and many European companies are ready to work in this direction," Kestutis Jankauskas said and confirmed the readiness to ensure the transfer of knowledge and technologies in the field of sustainable management of water basins and rivers.
The Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has set a task for the Government - to develop the agro-industrial complex and ensure rational use of water resources. Agriculture and food industry are among the most important sectors of our economy. We have a huge potential for the production of high-quality and organic agricultural products and foodstuffs. We are interested in increasing food exports to the EU market. Taking into account the advanced agrarian technologies of European companies, we invite you to create joint projects for the production and processing of agricultural products. For our part, we are ready to make every effort to create a favourable environment for doing business," Olzhas Bektenov said.
