Human rights and citizens in the conditions of the European integration processes in Ukraine

Constitutional justice as an element of the law protection function of the EU States

Traditionally, the main function of the body of constitutional jurisdiction is the function of constitutional control, but the human rights function, although not a classic one, is equally important.
 The human rights protection function of the body of constitutional jurisdiction in practice is expressed in ensuring the possibility of turning to such a body of a natural or legal person whose rights have been violated, as is usually the case in the case of using all possible means of protection.
 In this article, the experience of applying the human rights function by the bodies of constitutional jurisdiction is considered on the example of the activities of the constitutional courts of the countries of Central Europe and at the same time of the countries of the European Union - Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This experience is valuable for Ukraine, since the constitutional crisis recently affected the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, as well as in view of the active European integration processes in Ukraine and the need for its post-war reconstruction, which is not possible without the coordinated functioning of all state authorities.
 The article examines the experience of reforming the body of constitutional jurisdiction, the legislator's view on the powers of such a body, and vivid examples from human rights practice. A conclusion was made about the formation of transnational constitutionalism by such states, similar to the principles of the European Union, the application of unified, developed principles of proportionality when assessing the balance in the conflict of two or more fundamental human rights.

Intellectual property in Ukraine during martial law

The article is devoted to research of intellectual property in Ukraine under martial law. The authors of the article focus on the fact that intellectual property is one of the areas that helps the country develop economically in such an extremely difficult time, and pass the challenges with dignity, step by step.
 The authors establish that appropriate management of the intellectual property portfolio under martial law is particularly relevant to avoid future problems with potential litigation. It is also substantiated that it is important to keep data for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in Ukraine in the post-war economy.
 The article highlights that Ukrpatent, which performs the functions of the National Intellectual Property Body in the field of intellectual property, keeps working in difficult conditions, providing the necessary functions and continuous operation of the state system for intellectual property legal protection. Based on the analysis of data from Ukrpatent, it is noted that the number of registered industrial property rights for the 1st half of 2022 compared to the 1st half of 2021 is 75.2%.
 The authors analysed the latest changes in the legislation on intellectual property under martial law, which give grounds to believe that intellectual property continues to develop. It is also noted that there is a strengthening and implementation of European integration processes in the area of intellectual property. Ukraine actively continues to develop the relevant direction.
 The authors conclude that despite the extremely difficult conditions in various spheres of social life under martial law, laborious legislative activity in the field of intellectual property continues. Providing further functioning of the mechanisms of intellectual property rights protection and their progressive improvement under martial law with the support of friendly countries and the international community is aimed at strengthening and implementing European integration processes in Ukraine.

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION STRATEGIES IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESSES IN UKRAINE

Modern requirements for companies and consumers include the stability of financial performance amid increasing environmental attractiveness. Companies need to cover such seemingly diverse interests as profitability for owners, concern for staff, interest for partners and consumers, actions for environmental protection. It is essential to consider the growing role of conscious consumption, which is a direct regulator of production activity. The aim is to formulate a strategy and recommendations for combining sustainable initiatives in production and consumption in the context of European integration processes in Ukraine. The research object is sustainability in production and consumption. The article proposes a strategy that combines sustainable production and sustainable consumption into one cluster. It will allow sustainable initiatives are focused on systemic changes and essential areas of production and consumption. The practical value of the approach is in a strategy that includes measures stimulating environmental and socio-economic policy of production. It will allow moving from relative disunity of actions to technological standards. The proposed strategy can be implemented in recommendations for improving programs on changing behaviour from a gradual transition from individual consumers to broader initiatives to change the entire system – production and consumption. Today, this is especially important, including for Ukraine, considering its transition to sustainability and the implementation of sustainable development goals in the sphere of sustainable production and consumption.

Some peculiarities of legal protection of trademarks in EU countries in the context of European integration processes in Ukraine

Keywords: trademark, EU countries, territorial marks, national brands, trademark protection
 The article notes that Ukraine's further preparation for EU membership involves the completion of a comprehensive transformation of all spheres. One of the vectors of such a transformation concerns trademarks as a necessary element of the free exchange of goods and services. Legal protection of trademarks in EU countries covers three levels: international,regional and national. It is noted that the formation of European standards for the protection and protection of trademarks in the EU was determined by the processes of globalization and integration. The legal model for the regulation of TM relations at the regional level contributed to the convergence of the national legislation of the EU countries.Instead, there are numerous provisions of a dispositive nature, according to which EU countries individually decide on the issue of their reflection in national legislation, which does not create contradictions, but gives peculiarities to the legal regime of TMprotection in each specific country. The article reveals some of these features. Attention is drawn to the possibility of registration of warranty and certification marks as TM, which was implemented by Germany, Italy, and France. The identical approach of the EU countries to the registration of «Sound” trademarks — in the form of an audio file — has been revealed. Based on judicial practice, the weaknesses of the registration of a smell as a trademark in the form of a graphic description are considered. Designations that cannot be registered as trademarks and features of registration as such of portraits of people and personal names are defined. The requirements for applicants when registering trademarks and the legal consequences of not using trademarks are determined, as well as the role of using a trademark in overcoming the refusal of registration. The article reveals the meaning and purpose of the «opposition period» and the specifics of its application in individual countries, using the example of Poland, Italy, France, and Germany. Special attention is paid to the protection of territorial brands, national brands and their correlation with well-known brands.

As a result of the armed aggression against Ukraine and the systematic destruction of the infrastructure throughout the country, territorial communities face the issue of rebuilding destroyed infrastructure facilities in the post-war period. In the conditions of limited financial resources, the principal attention will be paid towards individual projects that finance the restoration of critical infrastructure, which is necessary for the life and livelihood of the community, so some projects may remain unfunded by the local authorities. The article examines the main instruments of financing infrastructure projects by the territorial communities at the expense of the private investors. The purpose of the work is to analyze the main instruments of financing infrastructure projects by territorial communities and to determine effective ways of attracting financial resources. It has been proven that when choosing directions for financing infrastructure projects, different levels of the hierarchy of the infrastructure objects of the "smart territorial community" should be taken into account. The hierarchy proposed in the work will allow for determining the priority of financing infrastructure projects to achieve sustainable development of the territorial community. Taking into account the current trends in the EU and European integration processes in Ukraine, it is recommended to introduce "green" bonds, which are an innovative financial instrument for mobilizing resources from local and international capital markets for the implementation of the projects that create environmental benefits for the territorial community, region, and country. The use of innovative financial tools, such as financial engineering, is proposed, which allows for effective fundraising not only through securities, but also through project financing and public-private partnerships. It has been proven that although grants provide funds on a non-refundable basis, such funding has certain limitations, so in most cases (unless otherwise determined by the features of a specific project), project funding will be a more effective way of attracting funds.

Progress towards equality in the practice of the ECTHR and the partnership agreement in de facto alliances

The article examines the progress towards equality in the practice of the ECtHR and its significant impact on the partnership agreement in de facto alliances. It has been established that over the last thirty-five years, the approaches of the European Court of Human Rights to the issue of the right of same-sex partners to family life and its formal recognition have undergone significant changes. It was found that the issue of discrimination was the subject of a number of cases concerning various rights of homosexual unions.
 It is substantiated that in the aspect of the right to formal recognition of same-sex partnerships by the state, the decision of the European Court of Human Rights in the case “Oliari and others v. Italy ». It was found that despite many years of case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the provisions of Council Regulation № 2016/1104, not all EU countries have provided legal certainty for same-sex couples, even in the form of civil partnerships (namely, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia and Lithuania).
 The French experience of regulating the procedure for concluding, essential conditions of a partnership agreement, as well as the procedure for its termination is studied.
 It is substantiated that taking into account the European integration processes in Ukraine, reforming its private law according to European standards, our state, given the principle of equality and positive obligations under Article 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms should guarantee partners in de facto unions sex legal certainty. In our opinion, it is optimal to amend the Central Committee of Ukraine and grant the right to conclude civil partnership agreements to persons regardless of the article. At the same time, the IC of Ukraine must maintain a heteronomous approach, ie guarantee the right to marry persons of the opposite sex, which fully complies with Art. 12 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
 Given that a partnership agreement can be an effective legal regulator of relations between individuals in de facto unions, it is worth borrowing the positive experience of France in improving Ukrainian legislation.

Obtained a high level of efficiency from recreational tourism, people can only due to temporarily living in remote, away from home, tourist areas of recreation. European integration and globalization processes have a positive impact on the development of recreational tourism and gaining competitive advantages, providing the above components. Investment reserves have been identified as a method of increasing the competitiveness of recreational and tourist activities in Ukraine in the context of European integration. Certain tourist complexes in Ukraine form stable economic zones and development of regions of recreational and tourist activity. An important issue remains the creation of favorable investment flows for both foreign and domestic investors, which, in turn, stabilizes working conditions given the rational use of investment on a long-term basis. Thus, these problems increase the relevance of the need to improve the mechanism for the management of recreational and tourist activities, primarily by government agencies. European integration processes in Ukraine require the formation and implementation of a model of relations between recreational areas and governance structures, which should meet the requirements of regional policy of the European Union, which in the future provided more prospects for cooperation, interregional and international cooperation.
