Abstract
The article deals with the issues of circulation of medicinal products for veterinary use (veterinary medicinal products).It is argued that the current Ukrainian regulatory legislation on pharmaceutical activity does not include such a component as medicinal products for veterinary use and their circulation, since medicinal products for veterinary use are unable toensure the appropriate "state" of individual and public human health.It turns out that damage to the life and health of a person as a result of a violation of the order of circulation of medicinal products for veterinary use (veterinary medicinal products) has the same features as the damage caused to pharmaceutical activity as an independent object of criminal law protection (it is about direct and indirect damage). Therefore, criminal legislation should ensure the protection of such components of activity in the field of veterinary medicine and veterinary practice as the life and health of a single person (individual) or several people (public). In the author`s opinion, if we take into account the international legal standards of the Medicrime Conventionregarding the equal legal "regime" of medicinal products for "human and veterinary use", then the regime of criminal legal protection of medicinal products for veterinary use (veterinary medicinal products) and their circulation should not differ from " regime" of criminal legal protection of medicinal products.The author notes that actions with veterinary medicinal products "do not fit" into the content of the construction of "violation of veterinary rules" provided for in Art. 251 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.It is proposed to make relevant changes in the Criminal Code of Ukraine that would correspond to the provisions of the Medicrime Convention and add articles: 1) "Falsification of veterinary medicinal products, circulation or use of falsified veterinary medicinal products" (Article 321-4 of the Criminal Code); 2) "Forgery of documents that ensure the manufacturing, circulation or use of veterinary medicinal products, or the use of such knowingly falsified documents" (Article 321-6 of the CriminalCode); supplement the disposition of Art. 251 of the Criminal Code.
