В.Путин.Выступление на открытии.21.11.01.Part 2 Speech at the Opening of the Civil Forum.Part 2 November 21, 2001 Moscow Выступление на открытии Гражданского форума 21 ноября 2001 года Москва I am aware of the suggestion that an All-Russian Personnel Fund be formed, ie a database accessible to the state, business and civil society institutions. I think the idea merits serious attention, the Administration needs progressively thinking competent people from the private sector. Your cooperation will undoubtedly be helpful in the reform of the justice system. It meets with heavy going and it cannot be the business only of government departments. The voice of the citizens should be among the decisive voices here. The same is true of the issues of making the penitentiary system more humane. The conditions in our prisons are appalling and the problems that have piled up over many decades need to be addressed urgently. We will try to ensure real access of civil institutions to the solution of these and other key problems. A few words about the interaction with the business community. Today it is well organised, perhaps better than other communities, it is consolidated and its structures represent the public and business interests of large groups of domestic entrepreneurs. In their dialogue with the state they raise not only production or legal problems that are closely related to production. They discuss employment, social assistance, education and national security. Our actions to make the economy less bureaucratic owe much ...
An Teanga (Tongue) www.ROSG.ie What do you do when you come home from a very normal day at work to suddenly realise that your tongue has vanished without a trace from your head? An Teanga is a curious and amusing story of a subservient office clerk, Tomás S. Mac Gairbhith, who, after the mysterious disappearance of his tongue, is forced for the first time to engage with the Establishment in a vain attempt to find his missing tongue. An Teanga is an absurd tragedy which deals with the absurd notion of someone physically losing his tongue, it is also a satire on authoritys attempt to bureaucratise language issues. In another sense, it is a metaphor for the Irish language and an account of the real frustrations of a society overshadowed by the predicted death of its native tongue. An Teanga is an adaptation of Eoghan Mac Giolla Bhrídes short story of the same name, directed by the writer in his first directorial role.
В.Путин.4 Ежегодная большая пресс-конференция (Putin) Part 7 4 Annual Big Press Conference Part 7 December 23,2004 President of Russia V.Putin The Kremlin,Moscow You know that yesterday the government approved a block of laws on this issue the new Housing Code and the Code of City Designing and Building, which are designed to de-bureaucratise the system of granting land plots. I view this as an element of combating corruption, at least in the crucial housing sector. A number of other laws were adopted, including, I think, seven laws on mortgages. But all of this has been incorporated in the mid-term programme which the cabinet debated yesterday in your presence. I think the country needs this document and hope that it will be approved without delay. QUESTION: (Japanese agency): Vladimir Vladimirovich, a question about the peace treaty with Japan. Foreign Minster Sergei Lavrov has proposed resolving the territorial issue by transferring two islands to Japan on the basis of the 1956 Declaration, whereas Japan wants four. VLADIMIR PUTIN: In fact, we have got even more of them. JAPANESE AGENCY: Is a compromise possible? What is your position? And when are you going to visit Japan, before or after May 9, Victory Day? And if a compromise is not reached, will you cancel your trip to Tokyo? Thank you. VLADIMIR PUTIN: Above all, I would like to say that our relations with Japan are developing, in my view, very well. Our trade turnover is growing. We maintain regular contacts at the political level. And it is very painful for us that the ...

Today, I would like to talk about the problems that we have faced in the process of the administrative reforms. I wonder what is your opinions of where we have been successful and where we have been less so. Does business feel the impact of these administrative reforms and if so - then how? You know that our main goal is to de-bureaucratise the economy. Has this worked and if it has in what ways? If not, then what else needs to be done? Business representatives like no one else feel all the negative consequences of the states unnecessary presence in the economy and overregulation. This is the first point. Second, I would like to hear your opinion of the effect the decisions made in the sphere of economic legislation have had. How have our actions affected customs regulation? Finally, I am interested in your opinions and would like to discuss with you the reforms the state is planning and pursuing in the social sphere, because the social sphere is, no doubt, of high importance in itself. Strictly speaking, this is the thinking behind all our work: improvements in the social sphere, better living standards and increasing peoples prosperity. However, the ...
