The whole package of legislation on taxation, the pension system and also regional policy are of huge importance not just for economic development but also for stabilising the social situation in the country.

There should be no procrastinating in taking decisions on reform in these areas, but the decisions taken must be carefully prepared and socially justified, Mr Putin said. The President instructed Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov to supervise this work directly.
