The parliament members stated that the most complicated situation with laid-up subs is in Murmansk and Arkhangel’sk counties. The federal governmental resolutions and programs have not worked, and the financing has been reduced from year to year. The parliament suggested that the government should cover all the yards’ debts for the year 1996 within a month, involving decommissioning of nuclear-powered subs, and also provide regular funding for these tasks within the current year.
