    MOSCOW


    The State Duma lower house of Russia's parliament will hold on Friday
    the last scheduled meeting of its spring session. Duma speaker Boris
    Gryzlov will summarise the results of the deputies' work.

    The house intends to ratify the agreement on the status and
    conditions of deployment of the Russian air base in the territory of
    the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, as well as the Russian-Armenian
    Intergovernmental protocol of August 29, 1997 on the extension of the
    term of regulating the process of voluntary resettlement.

    The Duma will consider in the third reading the draft laws "On state
    regulation of handling scrap and waste of non-ferrous and ferrous
    metals," "On state regulation of manufacturing and turnover of
    ethanol and alcoholic beverages," as well as a number of important
    amendments to the Tax Code.

    The house will discuss in the second reading the draft laws "On state
    registration of municipalities' regulations," "On special economic
    zones in the Russian Federation" and amendments regarding
    restrictions on advertising of the gambling business.

    The lawmakers will consider in the first reading the presidential
    draft law "On the formation within the Russian Federation of a new
    constituent entity as a result of merger of the Krasnoyarsk
    territory, Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Area and Evenki
    Autonomous Area," as well as amendments to the law "On general
    principles of organising local self-government in the Russian
    Federation," envisaging a three-year postponement of its full entry
    into force.

    The parliamentarians are also expected to consider a package of
    resolutions - on possible raising natural gas prices to the world
    level for a number of near-abroad countries, as well as several other
    draft parliamentary inquiries to Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov, in
    particular, "On payments of compensations and giving additional time
    off to officers of the Interior for overtime work."
