Construction industry in focus of Azerbaijani MPs

The draft of the Town Planning and Building Code was discussed at the plenary session of several parliamentary committees on yesterday.

The MPs discussed flaws in the construction industry. Member of the Committee on Economic Policy Vahid Ahmadov pointed to the importance of developing a separate town planning and building codes, building code should be developed in more detail. "Rules of the road construction, construction of bridges and similar construction shall be shown separately and available language," Akhmedov said.

It is necessary to indicate in the project that the communication should be constructed prior to construction, the member of parliament Fazail Agamali said.

He also told about the importance of the "single window" principle in this area. "Otherwise, the executive authorities, and other structures will affect the documentary-keeping," Agamali said.
The public should be informed about the work of reconstruction, in cities, said the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights Rabiyat Aslanova. The interests of the people are violated during the construction, Aslanova noted. Noise and pollution at construction sites can be an example of it.

The chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Policy and State Building, Ali Huseynli noted that, the code defines the legal basis and principles of construction activities and urban development, as well as the rights and responsibilities in this area.

Impact on the environment isn't taken into account in the construction, said the head of the Department of Administrative and Military Legislation of the Milli Majlis Sayyad Karimov. "Evaluation of environmental issues will be reflected in the new bill," Karimov said.

The head of the Milli Mejlis Safa Mirzoyev noted that the code will eliminate red tape in this area. Examination revealed that the construction and town planning codes repeat each other by one third, so the codes have been combined, Mirzoyev said, commenting some members propose of the need for two separate codes.
