INCLUSION OF FOOD SAFETY, LOW BIRTH RATE ETC. SLOWS FINAL DRAFT|前瞻首期預算審查 延到週二上午進行

Currently, the first phase of the infrastructure plan has had NT$839 million of its special budget approved. Originally the Executive Yuan had planned to hold a special session on today to pass the budget so that the whole draft could be sent to the legislature for the second special session to review. However, on Sunday, the Executive Yuan said that because of the time involved to review and print the adjusted plan, Monday's legislature review meeting would be pushed a day to Tuesday at 11 am. The KMT legislative caucus said that the food safety part of the first phase of the plan had a budget of just NT$27 million, or NT$1 per person for the whole population. The budget for the first phase of the infrastructure plan has 68 public infrastructure items, with a budget of NT$839 million. The opposition parties' food safety item has a budget of just NT$27 million, or less NT$1 per person, over the four years. ==CHIANG WAN-AN KMT legislator== Basically, their idea of an infrastructure plan is just to do rail transport and other items such as digital, green energy and food safety, low birth rate etc, are just side issues for them. We feel that this should address the people's concerns for the future. If it really is a forward-looking infrastructure plan, then the proportion of budget for those issues needs to be increased. The KMT caucus said that on July 5, when the infrastructure plan budget was passed, with the budget and length halved, when the Executive Yuan recalculated the budget for this, it still allocated the lion's share to rail projects and urban regeneration according to the original figure of NT$880 million. However, the DPP said that the low birth rate and food safety were only added in at the first special session and so they wouldn't have a budget allocated to them so swiftly. ==HUANG WEI-TSE DPP legislator== In the first phase of the budget for the rail projects were considerably curtailed and usually in the annual public budget, the government allots an amount for food safety anyway, the KMT omitted to mention this, so no matter how much the infrastructure plan may have for food safety, means that they are dissatisfied and won't accept it. Originally on July 10, an Executive Yuan special session was scheduled to discuss the infrastructure budget, but as three items have been added, including the low birth rate, a child-friendly environment and food safety; as well as a review of rail projects, all which are still undergoing discussion, the final plan cannot be sent to print on time and so will now be sent to the Executive Yuan on July 11. TRANSLATED BY：CLARE LEAR 日前通過的前瞻公共建設第一期特別預算839億，原本行政院預計將在明天加開臨時院會通過預算案，才能盡快將案子送到立法院第二次臨時會來審議。不過行政院今天下午表示，由於牽涉到今天的審查以及印製計畫書的時間，所以明天的臨時院會將延後一天，改在週二上午11點召開。而國民黨立法院黨團今天表示，第一期預算中的「食品安全」項目，卻只編列2700萬元，等於平均國民每人只分到1塊錢。 日前通過的前瞻計劃第一期預算，68項建設共編列839億元，其中在野黨主張列入的食品安全項目，只編列2700萬元，等於平均每個國民只分到1塊錢，占總預算千分之1不到。 ==國民黨立委 蔣萬安== 這次推前瞻計畫 事實上他們就只是要 做軌道而已 尤其是其他相關的 包括數位 綠能 食品安全 少子化等等 都只是陪襯而已 我認為應該針對 國人最關心的幾個 真正屬於未來性 前瞻性的計畫 比重預算編列上應該要加重 國民黨團表示，上週三讀通過的前瞻計畫，期程與預算規模確實減半，但行政院在重編的第一期預算中，還是把軌道、城鄉等項目，幾乎按原來8千8百億方式編列，但民進黨團表示，少子化與食安是在第一次臨時會才加入前瞻項目，本來就沒這麼快分配到太多預算。 ==民進黨立委 黃偉哲== 在第一期的預算裡面 軌道建設已經相當限縮了 政府在日常的公務預算 年度預算裡面 本來就有編制食安預算 這個國民黨略而不提 現在卻講說前瞻要多少食安 我覺得其實 就算編再多 國民黨也不會滿意跟接受 至於，原訂週一上午要召開的行政院臨時院會，討論前瞻特別預算，但由於增加了3項新增內容，包括少子化友善育兒空間、食安，以及對軌道的檢討等等，還在開會討論，來不及將計畫書送印，因此將延後到週二才舉行。
