(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-04-06 19:41 MOSCOW -- The Russian state oil pipeline Transneft will finish the laying of the East Siberia-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil pipeline to the Chinese border within weeks, said Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin Monday when presenting to the State Duma, lower house of parliament, a government report.
Russia and China signed an intergovernmental agreement on the construction of an ESPO branch toward China and long-term Russian oil supplies in February. Putin also said that Russia will spend 3 trillion rubles (US$90 billion) on anti-crisis measures, including 1.4 trillion rubles (42 billion dollars) from the federal budget. "Anti-crisis measures stipulate 1.4 trillion rubles in funds. On the whole, taking into account the effects of tax cuts, Central Bank funds, the National Welfare Fund and other sources to fight the consequences of the crisis and help the economy rebound, a total of 3 trillion rubles has been allocated," the RIA Novosti news agency quoted the prime minister as saying. Putin delivered a government annual report for the first time as prime minister starting from Monday noon. The report includes anti-crisis measures drafted by the Cabinet and the main parameters of a new draft budget for 2009. |
