A. Dialogue
1. Read and translate the dialogue in pairs:
Foreigner: Could you give me a general idea of budget organization and budget process in Ukraine?
Ukrainian: Certainly. First of all, by the budget organization we mean the structure of our budget system and its major components.
Foreigner: I suppose there is a close link between the budget organization and your state system, isn’t there?
Ukrainian: Yes, that’s true. Our system of governance is moving from a centralized one to a more decentralized. Our local authorities have been given considerable budget autonomy now.
Foreigner: Do you mean to say that some of expenditure responsibilities have been handed down from the national government to the local governments?
Ukrainian: Over the transition years a number of laws have been passed that grant local governments more autonomy in the budgetary matters. Thus governments at different level have their own revenue-raising sources now and use them at their discretion.
Foreigner: I’m clear now. And how is the budget process arranged?
Ukrainian: The budget process includes all activities of government bodies on formulation, consideration, approval and execution of the budget.
Foreigner: What governing bodies are involved in this process?
Ukrainian: As elsewhere, different governing bodies are involved in the process. The executive branch is responsible for the preparation and execution of the budget; budget consideration and approval is the responsibility of the legislative branch.
Foreigner: Are there any bodies controlling the execution of the budget?
Ukrainian: Of cource. First of all, it’s the Accounts Chamber, the National Treasury System.
Foreigner: It seems the State Government has done a lot to create a new budget system and to elaborate a new budget policy and methods of budget planning.
Ukrainian: You are absolutely right.

2. Read the dialogue, translate the Ukrainian remarks into English and act it out:
Foreigner: It’s impossible to overestimate the importance of a good, balanced budget for a country.
Ukrainian: Я повністю з вами згоден. Бюджет – це головний фінансовий інструмент країни. Це план, прогноз, оцінка доходів та витрат, як правило, на один рік. Уряд повинен дуже ретельно розподіляти свої ресурси та точно прогнозувати свої доходи.
Foreigner: I know that Verkhovna Rada, the legislative body of your country, is considering the draft budget now. Deputies have submitted a lot of amendments to the draft budget about restructuring debts and paying off pensions and children benefits.
Ukrainian: Так. Депутати прагнуть, щоб були збільшені асигнування на розвиток промисловості, на соціальну сферу та регіональні програми.
Foreigner: Recently you’ve reached a new agreement on how to distribute tax revenues among the national members.
Ukrainian: Так, ми також ухвалили новий механізм здійснення трансфертів у регіони.
Foreigner: You’ve settled one of the basis budget issues. I’m sure your national budget will soon be approved.
