This work is a continuation of the article in the previous issue of the journal. Referendums held in foreign countries over the past six months are considered. On the agenda of the referendum in Switzerland on September 27, 2020, five bills were put: on relations with the EU, on amendments to the law �On Hunting�, on the introduction of paid parental leave for parents, on reducing the tax burden on families, with children, on the allocation of credit for the purchase of a new generation of fighters for the needs of the national air force. On October 4, 2020, the people of New Caledonia again voted to remain part of France. More than half of New Zealanders supported the law, which stipulates that terminally ill people will have a chance to euthanize with the consent of two doctors. Regarding the topical issue of the referendum in Ukraine, the President of Ukraine in his video address confirmed his desire to know the views of citizens on various issues. On June 9, 2020, the draft Law of Ukraine �On Democracy through an All-Ukrainian Referendum� was registered under �3612. One of the initiators of the bill is the President of Ukraine. The explanatory note to the bill states that it is designed to regulate legal relations related to the initiation, appointment (proclamation), preparation, conduct, establishment of results and legal consequences of the all-Ukrainian referendum. The draft law provides for the following types of all-Ukrainian referendum: approval of the law on amendments to sections I, III, XIII of the Constitution of Ukraine; solving issues of national importance; change of the territory of Ukraine; repeal of the law of Ukraine or its separate provisions. A key innovation of the bill, which distinguishes it from other bills, is to determine the possibility of introducing electronic procedures during the organization and conduct of an all-Ukrainian referendum, including electronic voting. On October 9, 2020, the European Commission published the conclusions of the Ukrainian bill �3612. She recommended clarifying the connection between the referendum of national initiatives to repeal laws and the referendum on issues of national importance, to extend the period of collecting signatures for referendums. In June, the Verkhovna Rada supported in the first reading the presidential bill on the all-Ukrainian referendum, provided that it needs to be finalized before the second reading for consideration this fall. In the process of working on the bill, the draft laws on the all-Ukrainian referendum registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the eighth and ninth convocations, the relevant legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, as well as international standards and recommendations of international institutions were taken into account national level (2001), Referendums: Towards Good Practice in Europe (2005), On the Code of Good Practice on Referendums (2007) and others.

Some aspects of analysis of the Ukrainian legislation regulating the production of veterinary medicines

The aim of the work was to study the current state of domestic legislation of state regulation in the field of licensing the activities of business entities manufacturing veterinary medicinal products and its harmonization with the requirements of the European Union. Materials and methods. The research materials were regulatory and legislative acts, regulations and principles of the state policy of Ukraine connected with licensing the activities of business entities manufacturing veterinary medicinal products, in force from 2015 to the present. To carry out this study, the methods of information retrieval, systematization, analytics, graphic, comparison, and data generalization were used. Results. The article presents the main results of the analysis of the Ukrainian legislation which regulates the production of veterinary medicines and preparations. According to the results of the analysis, it was found that in the period from 2015 to 2018, Ukrainian manufacturers of veterinary medicinal products worked in such conditions that did not require a license for this type of activity. By the decree of the President of Ukraine, the program of sustainable strategic development of the country “Ukraine-2020” was approved which provided for reforms in the format of deregulation and the development of entrepreneurship and excluded the necessity of licenses for veterinary drugs production. Conclusions. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the Law of Ukraine “On Licensing of Types of Economic Activities” dated March 3, 2015 No. 222-VIII was actually aimed at reducing the governmental influence and regulatory pressure on the activities of business entities involved in the production of veterinary medicinal preparations.

The article provides a theoretical and legal analysis of the legal support of Ukraine in the context of raising capital by banks in international markets. The author determined that the economic crisis in the country is protracted, the capital market in Ukraine remains largely underdeveloped. The state has taken many steps to overcome the economic crisis, identified priority measures, strategic steps to build a sustainable economy, in particular, many efforts have been made to find free funds to attract investment, but this, as practice shows, was not enough. An important step in building a free and competitive state was the adoption of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Community. This document is the largest international legal document in the history of Ukraine and the largest international agreement with a third country ever concluded by the European Union. In accordance with the Program of Integration of Ukraine into the European Union (hereinafter - the Program), approved by the Decree of the President of Ukraine � 1072/2000 of 14.09.2000. Synchronization of internal market transformations of changes in the processes of EU enlargement. First of all, it concerns: reform of executive and judicial bodies and cooperation of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine with courts; administrative and territorial reform; formation of the foundations of regional development policy (including legislation on the distribution of competencies, budgets, taxes); completion of privatization (primarily enterprises of strategic importance for the economy and security of the state and banks); reforming the banking sector as a whole. Thus, in particular, a developed capital market is usually seen as a competitor in the commercial banking sector, as they compete for retention and investment opportunities. However, in today�s financial system, there are complementary relationships between the capital market and banks, as they choose different segments of the financial markets and focus on different types of customers. In the process of writing the article came to the following conclusions. The right direction in the reform of the economic sector is to determine the measures of state investment support should be preceded by a detailed analysis of the effect of the benefits and preferences previously granted to economic entities. Establish the legislative level the provision that the minimum amount of public investment should be equal to the amount of all new debt, i.e., the amount of borrowings during the year may not exceed the amount of budget expenditures to finance investments. Introduce the practice of developing and implementing investment incentive packages. Introduce a practice in which the decision on new borrowings is preceded by public information on which projects have already been used to finance the funds and for which purposes (projects) new borrowings are envisaged. Establish strict control over debt activities.

UKRAINIAN MUNICIPAL REFORM: CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS

The purpose of the article is a teleological and formal analysis of the related to municipal reform constitutional-conceptual documents approved by public authorities. This topic is relevant to the contemporary urgent constitutional problems, because at the beginning of 2020 President of Ukraine announced his plans to initiate changes to the Constitution 1996 about the local government.
 The main methods of the research include classical legal science methods. The author uses formal analysis, synthase, inductive and deductive approach to the problems, covered by the article. While looking at the text of Ukrainian Basic Law 1996 and other documents, the author uses the most common methods of legal interpretation (original intention method, purposivism and other).
 Results. The author analyzes the constitutional basis of the ongoing Ukrainian municipal reform, that was launched in 1998. Since that time, the Head of the Ukrainian state (President), the Parliament of Ukraine (Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine) and the Government of Ukraine (Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine) participated in the regulation of this reform. Their actions can’t be characterized as concerted, that is why the biggest part of the documents aim the same results (efficient local self-government according to the European municipal standard and best foreign practices). But the ways of reaching this result differs a lot – it might be revision of the administrative-territorial division, it might be decentralization of the public power, it might be deconcentrating of the local self-government bodies’ competence.
 Conclusion. The author recommends, firstly, to revise the concepts of the local self-government reform in Ukraine – as some of the documents, that are really out-of-the-date, should be cancelled. Secondly, all of the existed documents should be analyzed, and in case if there is some interesting and perspective proposal – it can be included to the last version of the Municipal Reform Concept. Thirdly, like the last Concept, they should include not only actions, but actions accompanied by the timeline.

Intellectual property rights in software

The article presents an urgent scientific problem, which is the need to establish the impact of reliable protection of intellectualproperty rights on software and its individual elements on the Europeanization of public administration in Ukraine, improving theinvestment climate, saving labor, accelerating public and private enterprises, institutions, organizations and boosting economic growth.Intellectual property rights underlie all the software industry. This term refers to a number of intangible property rights to an assetsuch as software. Each «right» to intellectual property is itself an asset, part of the overall property system. The law provides differentmethods of protecting these property rights depending on their type.There are essentially four types of intellectual property rights related to software: patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks.Each provides a different type of legal protection. Patents, copyrights, and trade secrets can be used to protect the technologyitself. Trademarks do not protect the technology, but the names or symbols used to distinguish the product on the market.Software can take the form of a computer program, a website, a mobile application, a distribution, and so on. Each of these formsmust consist of program code and personalization tools.In the current realities of digitalization of state and business review processes, intellectual property plays a role in shaping the economicstability of the state. The rapid pace of emergence and growth of technology, the spread of difficult foreign terminology in the fieldof software leaves room for research, creating new challenges and conditions for the synthesis of social sciences and engineering.Studying technologies, mastering and systematizing the principles of software – this is the main task facing lawyers-scientists inthe field of intellectual property.The lack of the combination in a single scientific work practical knowledge of programming and legal theories and practices ofsoftware protection creates a field for reflection and research on this topic.Because of the lack of scientific base and clear terminology in the field of software, problematic in Ukraine are the taxation ofoperations for the creation and implementation of software, legalization of relations between developers, and as a consequence – thelack of a unified policy for auditing and monetary evaluation of implemented computer programs.

Organizational legal principles of collaboration to the sector of safety and defensive of Ukraine with the structures of European Union

In the article taking into account activation of eurointegration processes of Ukraine description over of normative basis of coope -ration of Ukraine and European Union is brought. Reasonably, that adjusting of all-round system collaboration from ЄС it is been thesector of safety and defensive of Ukraine by not only a guarantee military-political of safety of Ukraine as the European state but alsomortgage of stability in the east Europe region.On the basis of analysis of provisions of Agreement about an association between Ukraine and European Union the dynamics ofdevelopment of collaboration of parties is reflected in part of gradual convergence in the field of a foreign and safety policy, to partici -pating of Ukraine in General politics of safety and defensive, general decision of question in relation to non-admission of conflicts andanti-crisis management, providing of regional stability, disarmament, non-proliferation, and also control above an armament and exportof weapon. Realities of the permanent structured military collaboration of Ukraine and European Union are reflected within the limitsof the program “PESCO”. The role of money funds of the European commission is underline in relation to a collaboration to the sectorof safety and defensive of Ukraine with the analogical structures of European Union.It is resulted, that the important factor of braking of development of partner relations between the Armed Forces of Ukraine anddefensive administrative institutes of European Union are such factors as: а) deficit of material resources, б) insufficient skilled possibilityof institutes, accountable for development associative relations, в) too bureaucratic procedure of acceptance of acts of legislationin the field of military, г) conflict of interests of political character between different public organs in relation to distribution of plenarypowers from a management military organization the state, д) absence at Ukraine necessary political experience near to EU reform. Bya basic factor the normative base of introduction of new organizational standards of functioning to the sector of safety and defensive ofUkraine is developed not enough and, in particular, are aspects of administrative cooperation of military structures with the aim ofimplementation of tasks in the field of providing of defensive capacity of the state and national safety. Taking into account the existentlacks of the normatively-legal providing of cooperation to the sector of safety and defensive of Ukraine with the structures of EuropeanUnion expediency is reasonable to increase the volume of possibilities of organs and subjects of military management to provide deve -lopment of integrations of alliance at legislative level. For this purpose it offers to complement a current legislation about the armedforces norms that would extend the competense of subjects of military management from adjusting of the administrative co-operatingwith the military structures of ЄС. In particular, expansion of legal framework of realization of administrative cooperation of subjectsof military management. Determination of managing role of President of Ukraine offers the basic feature of regulator action of corres -ponding norms as country’s and Supreme Commander-in-chief Leaders in the processes of cooperation.

The relevance of information and analytical work of the library in the modern environment

The article investigates the role of information and analytical work of the library in modern conditions today.
 Attention is paid to various aspects of the activities of library institutions with a developed infrastructure for the formation and analytical and synthetic processing of documents. Emphasis is placed on the production and distribution of information and analytical products and services, where the role of information and analytical activities is growing rapidly, and information produced in society is high quality, efficient, reliable and meets the needs of modern society. 
 The significance of the role of information-analytical subdivisions of the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine is analyzed. 
 The leading role of information-analytical subdivisions of the library institution in the process of providing information needs of modern users is substantiated on the example of VNLU activity. Experience of information and analytical work of the Service of Information and Analytical Support of Public Authorities (SIAS), the National Law Library (NLB), the Fund of Presidents of Ukraine (FPU) on the analysis of a wide range of issues related to the process of informatization of Ukraine. A number of urgent problems that significantly slow down the further development of information and analytical work of the library in the country are analyzed. 
 Based on the experience of cooperation of analytical units of the NBUV with government agencies, we can talk about the feasibility of involving them in the productive development of the information society in modern conditions. The VNLU Service of Information and Analytical Support of Public Authorities has considerable experience, which results in numerous information and analytical products that have received significant evaluation from consumers.

GOVERNMENT-OPPOSITION RELATIONS IN UKRAINE, 2010–2013

Summary. The research aims at defining the key methods Yanukovych’s regime applied to fight the opposition parties and their top leaders. The research methodology is based on historicism and objectivity principles, comprises general scientific (analysis, synthesis, comparison) as well as specified historic methods (those of diachrony, synchrony, historical genesis and retrospective). The article’s scientific novelty is determined by a system analysis of the methods Yanukovych’s retinue applied against his political opponents highlighting their role in building up the fourth President of Ukraine’s authoritarian rule. Conclusions. The specificity of Ukraine’s political and legislative climate under Yanukovych’s rule has been demonstrated. The patterns of the criminal proceedings against the opposition leaders have been defined and researched. The criminal prosecution against Yuliya Tymoshenko, the Preimer and the leader of Batkivshchyna party, following her government’s management audit, serves as a case of Ukraine’s political field’s prime cleanup. The key phases of the criminal prosecution against Yurii Lutsenko, the Orange Top leader, have been defined. The political repressions of more than twenty Tymoshenko’s supporters, the article suggests, serves as a background for preparing and implementing the tax overhaul project authored by V. Yanukovych and S. Tigipko. The fundamentals of this reform, as well as its reception by Ukrainian business elite, have been analyzed in brief to provide the necessary context, i.e., to demonstrate the roles the agents affiliated with the Regions Party had taken and the methods they applied to break the so-called Tax Maidan and to subsequently persecute its organizers and participants. Specific attention has been paid to the fight Yanukovych’s regime initiated against the radical right and nationalist movement, forging the criminal cases against the members of certain nationalist organizations and movements functioning in Zaporizhzhya and Kyiv regions, i.e., "Tryzub" ("The Trident"), "Ukraine’s Patriot", "Social National Assembly". Restraining the forces opposite to the Regions Party and the regime was done through bribing or granting governmental preferences to the business elites. The secret ledgers of the Regions Party serve as an important source for identifying the officials thus corrupted by the regime. To define the corruption scales and the key bribery initiators identities, a thorough analysis of these ledgers (known as "the spreadsheets") has been provided.

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: MODELS AND PROBLEMS

Problem statement and tasks. It is known that the state of the Ukrainian economy is unsatisfactory and needs significant improvement. To change the situation for the better, the President of Ukraine issued a Decree "On Sustainable Development Goals of Ukraine for the period until 2030", which is a guide to the latest development of the country focused on people. Besides, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the Principles of Social Responsibility adopted by the United Nations. However, the real sustainable development of the country can not be achieved without advanced management systems that ensure at different organizational levels of management the adoption and implementation of a set of agreed management decisions adequate to situations and their changes. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the state of system management in Ukraine, as well as the state of training of Ukrainian specialists in specialty "management", on which the creation, application, and improvement of management systems in organizations (companies, institutions) depend to the greatest extent.Research methods. In the course of this research methods of comparative analysis, data analysis by their grouping, and generalization of information have been applied.Results. Conceptual models of sustainable development of both individual organizations and Ukraine as a whole are proposed. The key role of modern system management in ensuring competitiveness and sustainable development is pointed out. The state of system management in Ukraine and the state of training specialists in specialty "management" in the Ukrainian higher education institutions are analyzed; shortcomings are identified and suggestions for their elimination are provided. An inadequate translation of the "management" concept’s definition in the DSTU ISO 9000:2015 is revealed and the causes and consequences of this fundamental error are investigated. Conclusions. Since Ukraine got its independence until today, due attention has not been paid to system management development there. There is no central executive body responsible for the development of system management in the country as a whole. The problem of system management improvement has not been reflected either in any government policy or in any development strategy for specific life spheres. Public sector organizations, in particular, executive governmental authorities and business companies mainly use outdated imperfect management systems. In the country, there is a confusion in the understanding of the "management" concept, which has led to the inadequate definition of knowledge areas and specialties. The stage of manager’s education in the Ukrainian higher education institutions does not meet the needs of Ukraine's development and its economy in the conditions of a globalized saturated market. To eliminate the mentioned shortcomings and improve the situation, it is urgent to change the attitude to this extremely important component of state-building.

Mechanism for Ensuring Children’s Rights in Ukraine: Problems of Subject Composition

The purpose of the scientific article is a comprehensive analysis of the nature and subjective composition of the mechanism for ensuring the rights of children in Ukraine. Тo achieve it, the following tasks are formulated: first, on the basis of doctrinal sources to reveal the approaches of modern scientists to the nature and essence of the mechanism of ensuring children’s rights; secondly, based on the existing legal sources of Ukraine in this area to analyze the structure of the mechanism for ensuring the rights of children; thirdly, to classify the subjects of the mentioned mechanism, to consider the principles of their legal status and functional-competence characteristics; fourth, to highlight the features of general and special subjects of children’s rights, based on existing law enforcement practices. Scientific novelty. The mechanism for ensuring the rights of children in Ukraine have undergone a long period of formation, has undergone some reforms marked by the implementation of international legal standards, modernization of the subject structure, which includes two main groups – public and private, designed to regulate, implement, protect and safeguard children’s rights, and in case of their violation – proper and timely recovery. Conclusions. The mechanism for ensuring the rights of children in Ukraine are a complex entity. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine, through the Plenipotentiary of the President of Ukraine for Children’s Rights, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Ministry of Social Policy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Police of Ukraine, their structural subdivisions and territorial bodies, local state administrations and bodies are called upon to exercise a number of powers local government, through children’s services. These are known to be public law entities. In turn, the subjects of private law involved in ensuring the rights of children and the protection of children are labor collectives, charities and other public organizations, individuals. At the same time, there are a number of problematic issues that lie in the plane of its functioning of this mechanism and need to be addressed in the interests of children

Influence of digitalization on the public policy forming in Ukraine

Problem setting. The COVID-19 pandemic, global quarantine, quarantine restrictions created the conditions for society to react quickly. Digital technologies are now being used more intensively, and the public administration sector is no exception. At the same time, the country's development requires systematic strategic and tactical decisions that will accelerate the introduction of modern digital technologies in all spheres of Ukrainian society, also forming and implementation of public policy at various levels of government.
 The analysis of recent researches and publications. Problems of digital society are studied by such Ukrainian scientists as O. Klepanchuk, O. Petryk, S. Lisovsky, S. Romanyuk, L. Rudenko (the emphasis – achieving by Ukraine the goals of sustainable development, where the development of the digital society is considered as one of the tools); issues of implementation of e-government and e-democracy are studied by A. Emelyanova, S. Loboyko, O. Maevska, A. Semenchenko, V. Dreshpak; research on the implementation of public policy in a particular area, including in the field of justice and the provision of administrative services, are among the research interests of Y. Starylov, J. Sobko, I. Markvych and others. Among foreign researchers, these issues are being investigated by C. Emmanuelli, N. Jain, N. Maechler, D. Malfara etc.
 Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem: the main contradictions, trends, problems and prospects for the provision of digital public services, based on the conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic, namely – the application of quarantine restrictions; influence of digitalization on the public policy forming in Ukraine.
 Paper main body. The article analyzes the problems inherent in modern Ukrainian society in connection with the rapid digitalization processes, that have taken place over the past year. The influence of digitalization on the forming and implementation of public policy is considered on the example of the activity of the Ministry of justice of Ukraine. Based on the results of a survey of civil servants and local government officials conducted by the author, the main trends, problems and prospects for providing public services online are identified.
 2020 turned out to be the crisis year for all mankind on the one hand, and on the other hand – it encouraged the rapid development of certain industries, including the field of digital transformation. In public administration, this has been embodied in promoting the use of digital services and governance platforms. In the direction of forming and implementation of justice state policy main efforts are aimed at building online interaction between citizens and the state, reducing the number of paper documents, more efficient administration of open state registers, ensuring control at each step of citizens' appeals, reducing corruption risks. minimization of the human factor in the processes of providing administrative services.
 The author conducted the survey among students of the Lviv Regional Institute for Public Administration of the National Academy for Public Administration under the President of Ukraine on the provision of administrative services online. 66 applicants from eight regions of Ukraine were involved in the survey. The question was asked: what hinders the development of administrative services online? Among the answers, the most common are (in order from most popular to least): low technical literacy of service consumers; technical unpreparedness of networks; unpreparedness of the citizens; unpreparedness of officials; insecurity of the information processed; lack of habit to use online; distrust to the state.
 Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Contradictions of the digital society development in Ukraine include: the digital divide (the gap in the level of digital equipment); technological unemployment; digital dependence and digital control; digital opportunities for crime; unlimited digital space and its content; the need for large-scale efforts and resources to address the digital space, and needs will only increase; unavailability of information created by bodies-not information managers; form of obtaining information, information is created or obtained in a form unsuitable for machine processing; method of information processing – non-interoperability of data sets from different managers.
 Among the factors that will determine digitalization processes on the public policy forming in Ukraine, we consider: increasing the technical literacy of service consumers; improving the technical readiness of networks; work with the population to promote the tools of consumption of administrative services online; training of officials to work in the digital space; taking measures to protect information held by the authorities; forming the habit of using online in the field of forming and implementation the public policy; increasing the level of trust to the state.

Separatism as the final form of the secession and its influence on the maternal states' future development

In the article the problems with regard to the manifestations of secessionism at the present stage, provide recommendations for combating them have been investigated. The role and place of the world community in counteracting the manifestations of secessionism and the prevention of territorial conflicts on the world scene have been taken into account. It is argued that the primary possible step in resolving conflicts is, firstly, the use of nonviolent measures, political and diplomatic settlement, and the achievement of stability in any state is possible only in the conditions of maintaining the principles of social justice, regardless of territorial identity. It can be argued that the peculiarities of the origin and development of the separatism centres in the world influence the political and geographical position of the territory. In addition, experts note that the effective counteraction to separatism is to create exactly the conditions under which effective management of disintegration processes is carried out. It seems that the idea of separation loses its popularity over time. In the Donbas, Ukraine deals with hybrid separatism, which is part of the hybrid war of the Russian Federation. According to the researches of the National Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of Ukraine, its basis is political separatism, which is based on the distortion of information, application of special propaganda measures, distortion of the history of Ukraine and myths about a better life in the format of self-proclaimed republics, etc. It is clear that this conflict must end. However, scientists warn against the use of negative experience in resolving such confrontations, especially in Ukraine. It should also be noted that despite the presence of varying levels of ethnicity in secessionist processes in Ukraine, it cannot be considered decisive or fundamental.

Educational activities of the international Carpathian school in the context of sustainable development goals

International Carpathian School is a fast-growing volunteer project in Kosiv, Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine, designed as a local centre of non-formal education to address youth adaptation to the globalized world. It intended to overcome the existing gaps in the education of socially conscious youth, finding optimal ways of skill-sharing activities to local communities. Among others, the school is oriented for delivering knowledge, skills and attitudes of the EU best practices in the field of municipal solid waste management (MSWM). In a broader meaning, the Carpathian School Agenda serves for the environmental protection of the vulnerable mountain landscapes to meet the Sustainable Development Goals Ukraine-2030 (hereof and after SDG), entered in force by the Decree of the President of Ukraine in order to ensure the national interests of Ukraine in relation to sustainable economic development [1]. The School activity is aligned with both SDG-4 "Quality education" and SDG-11 "Sustainable cities and communities". It has an interdisciplinary approach to learning where academic concepts of geoscience are coupled with real-world lessons. Carpathian Winter School hosted researches from Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia together with five educational entities from Baltic Sea Region (BSR). Scholars were exposed to a cross-cultural experience that facilitates connections between the classroom and the world around them. Simultaneously, the School is providing a prospect to local scientists in maintaining professional links with their foreign colleagues and obtaining hands-on scientific information on MSWM. Having a central geographical position and well-developed informal tuition activities, the Carpathian School may have a good chance to become a placement for students’ mobility, people-to-people contacts and promoting youth employability that is coherent with The Eastern Partnership (EaP) policy [2]. The educational project of the Swedish Institute LASUWAMA [3], which was considered at the Carpathian Winter School, combined researchers from Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia with five educational institutions of the Baltic Sea region. Representatives of EU universities, involved in the development of educational programs, provided the relevant knowledge and skills, needed to students for gaining an in-depth understanding of the sustainable development concept [4], including, inter alia, access to further vocational training in EU countries

TECHNICAL REGULATIONS AS A COMPLEX REGULATOR AND EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING OF VETMEDICINE ENTERPRISES IN MARKET CONDITIONS

In modern market conditions, knowledge of laws and regulations in the field of technical regulation allows managers and specialists of veterinary medicine to avoid unnecessary costs and risks in the development, supply and organization of production, greatly facilitates the preparation and completion of registration procedures in Ukraine and protects against inconsistencies in activities.
 Given the importance of this, the President of Ukraine in 2005 issued a Decree "On measures to improve activities in the field of technical regulation and consumer policy." For its implementation in Ukraine the Concept of development of technical regulation and consumer policy is developed. The purpose of the Concept is to create a modern system of technical regulation and consumer protection adapted to EU and WTO requirements, which will promote economic development, entrepreneurship, fair competition, protection of human health and the environment, consumer rights to quality and safe products, eliminate trade inconsistencies. In these conditions, national standardization is rapidly being established. Since 2005, the Law of Ukraine “On Standards, Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment Procedures” has been implemented. Introduced a new type of legal document - technical regulations, and this significantly and targeted-specifically increases the level of requirements for all types of enterprises, including enterprises of veterinary medicine. The main requirement laid down in the technical regulations is the quality and safety of products. Quality is the absolute confidence of the manufacturer in its products at any level of its development, production and consumption. Therefore, a justified and cost-effective policy for veterinary enterprises should be to focus on advanced achievements in ensuring stable and competitive product quality.
 The technical regulation, as a normative legal document, directly and through reference contains mandatory requirements for the technology of production of products for veterinary medicine and animal husbandry, rules of conformity assessment, rules of identification, packaging, labeling, etc. These requirements are enshrined in the new Law of Ukraine "On Veterinary Medicine".
 It is also important that strict compliance with the provisions of technical regulations gives manufacturers the opportunity to assess and control the risks that are significant in terms of product safety, and to implement in the practice of the enterprise rules of good manufacturing practice.
 Regarding the completeness of the development of technical regulations that would take into account the specialization of enterprises, there is a need to continue research, summarize the experience of leading foreign firms, improve the mechanisms of their implementation in the practice of veterinary enterprises.

MILITARY-TECHNICAL COOPERATION BETWEEN UKRAINE AND NATO: THEORY, PRACTICE (1997–2004)

Summary. The purpose of this study is to analyze the general tendencies of military-technical cooperation of Ukraine with NATO at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries. The research methodology is based on the use of historical-comparative method and methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization. The scientific novelty. It was noted that the leaders of our country considered the North Atlantic Alliance as the most effective structure of collective security in Europe and the main goal of military-technical cooperation was to ensure national interests and security, equipping the Armed Forces and other military formations with modern weapon and military equipment, development of the export potential of the military-industrial complex, increase of the scientific-technical and technological potential of the defence industry of Ukraine. Conclusions. The legislative and normative-legal acts that laid the foundation of military-technical cooperation between Ukraine and NATO are outlined, including the Decree of the President of Ukraine "On measures to improve military-technical cooperation of Ukraine with foreign countries" (1999), the "Decree of the President of Ukraine delimitation of powers of central executive bodies in the field of military-technical cooperation with foreign states" (2002), the Concept of military-technical cooperation of Ukraine with foreign states for the period up to 2010 (2003). It is emphasized that the main problems of military-technical cooperation of Ukraine with foreign states in the period under study were the uncertainty of the state’s defence policy and imperfect public administration.

CONCEPT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN CONSTRUCTION AND DIRECTIONS OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE

The analysis of the main provisions of two concepts: "The concept of application of construction information modeling in the management of the life cycle cost of public facilities" (Project) was developed at the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine (NASU) by a group of experts led by Professor V.S. Kuybida and “Concept of Implementation of BIM - Construction Information Modeling in Ukraine” (Project) of the EU International Technical Assistance “Assistance to the Organization of the Government of Ukraine in Improving the Management of the Infrastructure Project Cycle”. The developers of the first Concept identified the principles, but the implementation of these principles in Ukraine requires the improvement of the current system of relations in the investment-construction-operational process, changes the traditional mechanisms of the industry and construction management through innovation. The second Concept presents the results of a comprehensive study in general of the problems of implementation of information technology, without a deep study of the state of the construction industry of Ukraine. The analysis of the main provisions of the two concepts allowed to identify the principles that should be the basis for combining three life cycle models: design, construction, operation - from the first stage of design to the reconstruction or liquidation of the object, in order to use them to innovate and improve competitiveness of objects at all stages of a life cycle and influence on work of the construction enterprises in market conditions. The educational component of the Concept as a whole does not cause objections, but requires specification of a number of decisions at the level of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine, universities, specialties and departments. In general, the combination of the two concepts provides a lot of historical and methodological material for the educational process and can be the basis for the educational process of information technology. Simultaneously, the analysis of the two concepts requires attention to differences, conclusions and generalizations that contradict the real situation in the industry and require a single system of terms.

ПРОЗОРІСТЬ ТА ВІДКРИТІСТЬ У СИСТЕМІ ПРИНЦИПІВ ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКОГО АДМІНІСТРАТИВНОГО ПРОСТОРУ

Adaptation of the Ukrainian administrative system to European standards is one of the most important tasks of public administration reform. This should be the basis for Ukraine’s future membership in the EU, as the maximum compliance of national legislation with European standards is a basic condition for EU membership candidate. The European Union attaches great importance to the implementation of a number of principles in the context of the concept of a Common European Administrative Space (EAS), which can be divided into four categories: 1) the rule of law (often defined as reliability and predictability, legitimacy or certainty within the law); 2) openness and transparency; 3) responsibility / accountability; 4) efficiency and productivity. The EAS, which is based on these principles, provides for the introduction and application of a set of public administration standards, which are defined by law and used in practice through appropriate procedures and accountability mechanisms. In many EU member states, these principles are usually enshrined in the constitution and detailed in a number of laws. Thus, transparency and openness are central to the system of the European Administrative Space principles, as they are closely linked to all others - responsibility, efficiency, compliance with the law; without transparent public administration it is impossible for the community to perceive their decisions as fair. Openness and transparency are also essential tools for ensuring the rule of law, equality before the law and accountability. Public administration in Ukraine should primarily focus on the maximum implementation of these principles of the European administrative space in the practical activities of public authorities, in real administrative procedures.

ПРОБЛЕМИ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ

Ефективність відповіді системи державного управління на соціально-економічні, політичні та гуманітарні виклики нової глобалізації та четвертої промислової революції буде залежати від її здатності забезпечити адекватну мінливій кон’юнктурі ринку праці систему підготовки фахівців, політику зайнятості з високим горизонтом планування, диференціацією по галузях і кластерах виробництва, а також стратегію інноваційного розвитку, що має мінімізувати транзакційні витрати. Глобалізація означає перехід системи національного господарства в інтегроване світове господарство. Вона призводить не просто до встановлення і розвитку відносин між економічними, соціальними та іншими суб’єктами різних країн, а й до різкого збільшення значущості цих відносин. Водночас вплив глобалізаційних процесів зумовлює необхідність нових теоретичних підходів для обґрунтування структурних зрушень в українській економіці. Розкриті питання спрямовані на формування стійкості до негативних чинників, посилення конкурентоспроможності, реалізація завдань щодо сталого розвитку, забезпечення відповідності встановленим світовим нормам, реагування на загрози посилили актуальність із точки зору гарантування економічної безпеки України в умовах глобалізаційних викликів. Метою дослідження є виокремлення негативних факторів здійснення глобалізаційних процесів в Україні, аналіз індексу глобалізації, надання пропозицій щодо формулювання заходів стимулювання розвитку цифровізації в Україні. Враховуючи зазначене, в ході дослідження розглянуто основні підходи науковців до поняття «глобалізація»; визначено основні фактори, які заважають здійснювати процеси глобалізації в Україні; виокремлено проблеми формування інформаційного суспільства в Україні; охарактеризовано індекс глобалізації та місце України в ньому; проаналізовано цифровізацію в контексті глобалізаційних процесів та сформульовані основні заходи щодо стимулювання цифровізації в Україні.

Institutional Determinants of Stressful Situations in Public Authorities of Ukraine

The meaning of the terms «stress» and «stressful situation» in the context of public authorities' professional activity is revealed. The relationship between the categories «environment» and «situation» in terms of factors influencing civil servants' stress tolerance is studied. The definitions of the terms "public authority", «subjects of public authority», and the forms of exercising public authority in Ukraine are presented. The standard and distinctive features of state and municipal forms of public power in Ukraine are determined. Among the institutional characteristics of public authorities in Ukraine, those that need to be administered as determinants of stressful situations are singled out: the pressure of civil society and dualism at each public authority level. To confirm this, the article presents the results of its survey of civil servants and local government officials in Ukraine to identify internal and external stressors in their work, which affect its effectiveness and efficiency. The obtained results testify to the lack of perfect legislation in public administration in Ukraine and the ignorance of specialists of all institutional norms that regulate public authorities' professional activity. It is proposed to develop unique training programs for civil servants and officials of local governments on the interpretation of changes to regulations and instructions within these documents. It is also necessary to adapt existing vocational training programs for public authorities to the external environment's requirements, directing them to develop appropriate personal qualities. Also, a mechanism should be introduced to monitor the impact of civil servants' professional training on the effectiveness of their professional activities using measurable indicators to adjust such programs and select the most effective ones.
