ПРАВОВА ОХОРОНА ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ВЛАСНОСТІ У КОНТЕКСТІ КОНСТИТУЦІЇ УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

The article considers topical issues of constitutional and legal protection of state property as public property. The objective necessity of functioning of the public sector of the economy follows from the constitutional provisions on the obligation of the state to ensure the social orientation of the economy (part 2 of Article 13 of the Constitution) and political, economic and ideological diversity of public life in Ukraine (part 1 of Article 15 of the Constitution). It is substantiated that the provisions of Section I of the Law of Ukraine "On repealing the Law of Ukraine "On the list of state property objects not subject to privatization" do not comply with the provisions of Articles 1, parts one and two of Article 8 part 2 of Article 19, part four of Article 13, Article 16, part 1 of Article 17 of the Constitution of Ukraine (in their sys temlogical connection). It is determined that a mandatory element of the system of constitutional and legal protection of state property is the norm of paragraph 36 of part 1 of Article 85 of the Constitution of Ukraine, according to which the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approves the list of state property not subject to privatization. Defining the range of objects that are not subject to privatization, the legislator uses such a technical and legal technique as the simultaneous enshrinement in the text of the Law "On privatization of state property" types of state property that are not subject to privatization (currently these are objects of national importance, and state-owned enterprises) and enshrining in a separate law a list of objects of state property rights, the privatization of which is not allowed. The norms of such laws form an integral element of the special legal regime of state property. Taking into account the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, it is determined that the list of objects of state property that are not subject to privatization may be subject to change taking into account the needs of socio-economic development of the country. It is substantiated that the repeal of the Law of Ukraine "On the list of objects of state property that is not subject to privatization" means the emergence of a gap in the system of legal protection of state property relations, which can not be filled in any other way than the adoption of the relevant law, and which will negatively affect the state’s performance of its social functions.
