STRATEGY FOR REFORMING LAND LEGAL RELATIONS IN UKRAINE: ISSUES OF REGULATORY REGULATION

Abstract

The purpose of the scientific development is to study the issue of regulatory and legal regulation of the strategy for reforming land legal relations in Ukraine. It is determined that the beginning of land reform in Ukraine is associated with the adoption of the Main Directions of Land Reform in 2001–2005, which was approved by the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated May 30, 2001 No. 372/2001, which established that the goal of land reform is to achieve such conditions in which the mechanism for regulating land relations and state management of land resources would meet the criteria of efficiency. It is established that in Ukraine, a reform of Ukrainian legislation is currently underway to establish an understanding of land as an object of legal protection and use. It is determined that the exercise of the granted right to purchase land plots by legal entities is allowed provided that they are created and registered under the legislation of Ukraine, and their participants must be exclusively citizens of Ukraine, Ukrainian or territorial communities. It is emphasized that such a purchase should be carried out in compliance with the procedure of electronic auctions, which minimize corruption and risks. It is concluded that the opening of the agricultural land market in Ukraine should create the prerequisites for the growth of land prices, but at the same time will lead to an increase in investment of revenues. It is substantiated that the next stage of land reform in Ukraine involves granting permission to purchase agricultural land to foreigners, however, procedurally, such a legislative act must be adopted by holding an All-Ukrainian referendum, which is impossible during martial law. The introduction of such changes to the current legislation of Ukraine is ambiguously perceived by society and requires study and further development.
