At the Novopolotsk refinery "Naftan" do not plan to raise staff salaries at least the next six months. This was announced by company CEO Vladimir Tretyakov, answering questions from the factory workers.

Refinery staff noted that an increase in the tariff rate of the 1st category of revenues increased by about 10%, and in dollar terms over the past couple of months, they decreased by approximately 30%. Responding to a question, during a period of income can at least go back to the previous level in dollar terms, Tretyakov lamented the incorrectness of such binding. "We live and work in the Republic of Belarus, which clearly defined the criteria for the size of our salaries. She never will be calculated in US dollars. And the dollar is not officially allowed as a means of payment for individuals," - he said.

However, Vladimir Tretyakov, noted that "in Belarusian rubles over time our salary has increased significantly." But "tie her to the dollar equivalent no plans nor at the state level or at the enterprise level." "Today it is important to keep at least those positions that exist. If someone is counting on more, I want to start by saying that in the short, at least semi-annual, term, such opportunities are not seen. And what will happen - it is difficult to predict," - he concluded.

According to the National Statistics Committee in December, the average salary in the oil industry was 12.8 million rubles.

On the "Naftan-Polimir" employs about 12,000 people.

In connection with the tax maneuver in Russia, the price of oil to Belarusian refineries increased. According to experts, at $ 100 per ton. Government to somehow compensate for these costs, have reduced the cost of the excise tax rates by 20-22%. In addition, in mid-January were increased by an average of 5% of the retail price of gasoline and diesel fuel. Plus, the "Naftan", to which is attached and the plant "Polymir" seriously subsidizes all of the petrochemical complex of Belarus. "In some months, the volume of support reached 12 million euros," - said the columnist "Belarusians and Market" Tatiana Manenok. Experts also point out the need to speed up the modernization of oil refineries, which are already significantly zakreditovany.
