FNC holds Sixth session
ABU DHABI - The Federal National Council (FNC) today held its sixth session under the chairmanship of Mohammed Ahmed Al-Murr, Speaker of Federal National Council.
The session was attended by Mohammed bin Dhaen Al Hamili, Minister of Energy, Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy and Dr. Anwar Mohammed Gargash, Minister of Federal National Council Affairs.
The FNC was briefed about the three laws issued during the recess; the three federal laws are: the federal law number 11 of year 2011, on abrogation of the federal law number 13 of year 2009, on setting up the Federal Authority for Health, the federal law number 12 of year 2011, on linking the Federal General Budget with those of autonomous agencies for the fiscal year 2012, and the federal law number 13 of year 2011, on the report on additional appropriation for the general budget of the Union and the budgets of autonomous agencies attached to the fiscal year 2011.
The FNC agreed to the motion raised by MP Abdul Rahim Al Shaheen, enquiring on why the government issued these laws while the FNC was in the recess.
Dr Gargash replied that the violations were natural phenomena, citing some of the justifications that made the government to issue the laws, for instance, to avoid the delay or during the transitional period from Council to another. He added that the observations of MP Al Shaheen were important and would be replied in a methodical way, requesting the FNC to address the government about the remarks put forward by the MP.
The FNC agreed to issue a resolution on equal pricing of water and electricity regarding Emirati residences. It rejected a request put forward by MP Mohammed Butti Al Qubaisi, on cancellation of water and electricity tariffs similar to free of charge services offered by the government such as health and education sectors.
Earlier Mohammed bin Dhaen Al Hamili, Minister of Energy replied a question of MP Ahmed Mohammed Rahma Al Shamsi on differences of pricing of water and electricity in different emirates.
The FNC approved the draft federal law of 32 articles on regulation of competition as put forward by the government, following some amendments on the law during discussion of the articles with Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy.
The draft law aims at protecting and boosting the competition and combating monopolisation through a number of procedures such as ban of restriction agreements and manipulations.
