In particular, it provides for the establishment of a transparent system for subsidizing passenger traffic, as well as the exclusion of the use of hidden transit schemes and the protection of the rights of consumers of access road services.

The Commission also considered measures to prevent excessive debt of citizens to financial institutions, to improve mechanisms for providing state targeted social assistance, a pension system and other issues.

“The Head of State in his Address emphasized that effective public dialogue and prompt response to the needs of people are the main priorities in the activities of state bodies. Taking into account today's discussion, it is necessary to take specific measures for the high-quality implementation of the tasks set for us,” Mamin said.
