30.10.2014 11:42 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
"We do not share a quota principle, and therefore I declare a principle of political responsibility of each political force, which delegates its representatives to compose the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine," Government Portal says quoting the Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk as saying at a media conference at the Government House on Wednesday, October 29.
Arseniy Yatseniuk suggested to form the Ukrainian Cabinet according to the same principles as the European Commission is formed.
He appealed to Petro Poroshenko Bloc, Batkyvshchyna, Samopomich and Radical Party with a request to officially submit candidates by Monday to take the posts of members of the Government «with a description of the scope of powers every particular candidate can assume».
The PM reminded that the current composition of the Cabinet of Ministers had been formed by Maidan, «there won’t be any backstage discussions and appointments of Ministers any longer. That is why each candidate from the respective political party must undergo the process of public coalition hearings».
Such public hearing, Yatseniuk suggests, should be broadcast live, «as we saw broadcast the appointment of commissioners in the European Commission», «Every candidate delivers a 10-minute presentation of his vision of changes and reforms in the area for which he is likely to respond. Afterwards two hours for the questions/answers: as it is stipulated in the regulations of the European Commission, a question 1.5 minutes, an answer 2 minutes».
«The country needs to see all applicants for this extremely important and difficult work,» Yatseniuk said.
«I want to officially announce about the start of the transparent and honest procedure to form a coalition and a Government. I am convinced that the President supports this approach. I will pursue the principles of publicity and transparency. Unless my approach is backed, somebody else will form a coalition,» the Head of Government stressed.
