ODS government proposal may be acceptable to Social Democrats

The programme "Seven magnificent reforms for the future," submitted by the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) earlier today, may be a good fundament for drafting the programme of a reform-minded government, the Social Democrats (CSSD), the Christian Democrats and the Greens told CTK.

The CSSD has found in it a number of discrepancies with its ideas, but there is a chance of making from the document a compromise formula in the days to come, CSSD deputy chairman Bohuslav Sobotka told journalists.

The ODS, too, considers the 20-page text as a working material, ODS deputy chairman Petr Necas said after a 60-minute meeting of negotiators.

Necas said that by next Friday expert teams would delete from it the controversial points about which leaders of the four parties would decide on Monday.

The ODS has drafted the programme entitled "Seven magnificent reforms for the future" and handed it today to the CSSD, the KDU-CSL and the Greens whose representatives have started to discuss it.

The fundamental changes are to concern several major topics: public finances and taxes, pension and social systems, health care, business environment and labour market, restricted regulation, reform of the police and fight against corruption.

The Czech presidency of the EU and European funds is the seventh area.

The draft programme contains concrete terms by which the parties would like to implement the change and a list of amendments to the laws that are under preparation.
