ZAGREB, March 24 (Hina) - The Croatian National Parliament House of
Representatives will review a law pos,tponing the application of
the new Law on Child's Allowance.
The House of Counties adopted the motion Friday, using its right of
veto.
The Upper house thus accepted the request of 36 MPs (from the
Croatian Democratic Union, Croatian party of rights and Christian
Democrats of Medjimurje) and their explanation there was no
economic or humane justification for the postponement of the Law on
Child's Allowance which would guarantee this right to more children
than is the case currently.
The MPs claimed that despite all difficulties the additional 600 to
700 million kuna (US$75 to 87.5 million) could be amassed so the
children of farmers, peasants and unemployed could receive
children's' allowances.
Arguments by Labour and Social welfare Minister Davorko Vidovic did
not manage to dissuade MPs from returning the law to the Lower
House.
The only reasons for postponing the application of the law was a
lack of resources, a lack of valid information about the number of
users, unprepared personnel infrastructure and issues surrounding
property censuses.
