Structuring of public administration entities in the sphere of security

Activities of public administration entities in the field of standardization, licensing and accreditation of healthcare in Ukraine

According to the provisions of the Basic Law of our state, life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security of a person are the highest social value. In order to ensure the guaranteed right to health care, the state, in the form of authorized bodies, takes the necessary organizational and legal measures and methods aimed at preserving human health. The human right to health covers a wide range of health-related phenomena and practices. Standardization, licensing and accreditation as means of ensuring the human right to health care directly belong to this spectrum of social relations. Taking into account the fact that the health care of citizens is based on a number of principles enshrined in the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, the article emphasizes that standardization, licensing and accreditation, which are the guarantee of life and health care, occupy a specific weight in health care citizens. Through the prism of legislative regulation and the analysis of subordinate regulatory legal acts, the author of the article examines the impact of regulatory legal acts on the regulation of relations in the field of standardization, licensing, and accreditation. The author focuses on the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the State Service of Ukraine for Medicinal Products and Drug Control, as well as other public administration entities that play a leading role in licensing, standardization and accreditation of business entities, as well as other participants in relations in the field of health care. In general, the article draws attention to the important role of public law entities in regulating relations in the field of standardization, licensing, and accreditation, as well as draws attention to the legal mechanism of compulsory licensing. It is concluded that the modern system of public administration in the researched sphere of public relations is carried out primarily by authorized state bodies. It is emphasized that the subject of further research should be the issue of determining the system of public and private law entities involved in the process of regulating relations in the sphere of health care of Ukraine, the disclosure of the legal mechanism of compulsory licensing in order to ensure the health of the population, the defense of the state, environmental safety and other public interests, as well as the activities of public entities during the martial law regime.

Features of the types of control on the performance of electronic procedures in the activities of public administration entities

The scientific article highlights the essence of the types of control over the implementation of electronic procedures in the activities of public administration bodies, namely: parliamentary control; from the representative of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on human rights; from the central bodies of executive power. The author substantiates the expediency of improving the legal regulation of the procedure for holding a preliminary meeting before the trial of the case. In particular, it is considered expedient to establish the terms of holding a preparatory meeting from the moment of receipt of an administrative claim, as well as to determine the cases when reconciliation of the parties is not allowed. It was established that the control carried out by local executive bodies has a much smaller scope, but is the closest to the controlled objects. The control powers of the said bodies within the scope of control over the provision of electronic services are enshrined in the Law of Ukraine «On Local State Administrations» (Clause 9 of Article 16). Part 1 of Article 28 of this law stipulates that in order to exercise the powers granted, local state administrations have the right, in particular, to conduct inspections of the state of compliance with the Constitution of Ukraine and the laws of Ukraine, other legislative acts by local self­government bodies. It was concluded that regional state administrations, within the limits of their powers, direct the activities of district state administrations and exercise control over their activities. Local state administrations control the implementation of the powers granted by law to the executive bodies of village, settlement and city councils by their executive bodies and village, settlement and city heads. It has been established that control over the exercise of delegated powers of executive bodies by local self-government bodies is entrusted to the relevant local state administrations, and in cases provided for by law, to ministries and other central bodies of executive power, their territorial bodies. Control is carried out by analyzing acts of local self-government bodies, providing local self-government bodies with information on the implementation of delegated powers of executive bodies, conducting inspections of the activities of executive bodies of village, settlement, and city councils. In addition, local executive bodies can create structural subdivisions to perform control functions.

NiMo 4.0 – Enabling advanced data analytics with AI for environmental governance in the water domain

Abstract In the realm of environmental governance, civil servants confront a plethora of diverse datasets, including time series, geospatial vector data, and raster data. However, unlocking the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to analyze this data poses the challenge of a widening technical proficiency gap in public administration. This paper explores the intersection of expanding environmental datasets and advanced analytics. Through a real-world project lens, our work aims to guide public administration entities, fostering seamless integration of AI-driven analytics and data-driven decision-making. We present a modular technical architecture that proposes pragmatic solutions that have the potential to empower civil servants. This approach contributes to accelerating environmental governance into an era of more informed and efficient, data-driven practices.

DIRECTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL MECHANISM FOR ENSURING FOOD SECURITY IN UKRAINE

The author emphasises that Ukrainian legislation does not contain a comprehensive legal regulation of public administration in the area of ensuring food security of Ukraine. That is why there is an urgent need to reform, first of all, the regulatory support of this function of public administration. The main directions of such reform should be: 1) adoption of a specialised law which would lay down a new legal basis for public administration in the area of food security of Ukraine; 2) improvement of the mechanism of strategic planning of the relevant area of state policy; 3) introduction of European principles and standards of public administration in this area; 4) improvement of interaction between civil society institutions and public administration in the course of public administration in the area of food security of Ukraine. In conclusion, it is emphasised that the new law on food security of Ukraine should clearly define the system of goals and objectives of public administration in the field of food security of Ukraine, delimit the powers and competence of public administration entities within this functional area of their activities, and determine the mechanism for guaranteeing physical and economic access to food and essential goods for everyone. In addition, the Food Security Strategy for the period up to 2030 should be adopted, which should: include the principles of food security generally recognised in the EU; regulate Ukraine’s participation in ensuring global food security; involve digital technologies in agricultural production; and expand cooperation with civil society institutions in the implementation of state policy in this area.

Appointment of forensic examinations in the course of investigation of criminal offences related to raiding

Establishment and development of the economic security of the state requires taking effective measures to counteract and minimise the negative impact of criminal offences that encroach on public relations in the areas of economic activity, legal activities of business entities, professional activities of public administration entities, etc. Among such criminal offences, much attention is paid to those with signs of raiding, i.e. those related to the unlawful takeover and seizure of property, assets of enterprises, institutions, organisations, corporate rights to them and other resources, encroachment on the rights of owners or authorised persons of business entities of various forms of ownership, etc. An important role in proving and clarifying the circumstances to be proved in these criminal offences is played by expert opinions. Given the insufficient elaboration of the issues related to the appointment of forensic examinations in the course of investigation of criminal offences related to raiding, the purpose of the article is to define the range of forensic examinations which are appointed during the pre-trial investigation of the latter, and to clarify the specifics of their appointment. To achieve this goal, the article uses a range of general scientific methods, as well as some philosophical and special research methods, in particular, analysis, synthesis, systemic and structural method, forecasting method and dialectical method.
 Based on the results of the analysis of the investigative and judicial practice of investigating criminal offences related to raiding, it has been found that the typical expert examinations which are appointed during their investigation are forensic technical examination of a document, forensic economic examination, and forensic handwriting examination. It has been generalised that they are appointed in every second criminal proceeding of the type under study.
 The author identifies the factors which should be taken into account when deciding on the necessity and expediency of appointing a forensic examination during a pre-trial investigation. The article also identifies the mistakes made by the prosecution when appointing the specified types of qualified specialised investigations. Given the nature of raiders’ actions, the processes taking place in society and in the professional activities of individual participants in social relations, the author outlines the prospects for further scientific research.

Doctrine of provision of public services in the system of administrative law of european countries

The article analyzes the experience of European countries regarding the formation of the doctrine of the provision of public services in the system of administrative law and the identification of its features. It is shown that the legal institution of public services in Ukraine is quite new. At the same time, there is no doubt that similar innovations in this field and their regulatory consolidation and implementation should take into account the experience of foreign countries, in particular those in which this institute was formed and has been functioning for a long time. European jurisprudence has offered various interpretations of the doctrine of public services. In particular, different approaches are offered by the German and French schools of law, which are considered to be competitors. Therefore, it appears important to conduct a consistent comparative legal analysis of the category of public services, their types, forms and subjects of their provision, the system of regulatory control. This is due in particular to the impossibility of forming new administrative and legal structures and institutions without an appropriate analysis of the experience of the process of Europeanization of administrative law. It was established that the representatives of the French legal school reached a consensus that the national administrative law of France consists of several large blocks, and the law in the field of public service, from the position of the structure of the industry, belongs to special administrative law and, together with the issues of legal entities of public law and administrative justice, constitutes one from the basic postulates of all French administrative law. The French doctrine of public service has gained wide popularity and has been implemented in many countries of the continental legal system. In the German doctrine, public service is considered as a publicly significant activity of state administration bodies and other involved subjects of relevant activity within the concept of good governance. Adoption of administrative acts in the process of carrying out administrative procedures in accordance with German legislation is not formally considered from the standpoint of public services, but in its essence it is completely included in such a construction. The category of "public services" is not specifically defined in the German doctrine, but it covers both positive public administration and law enforcement activities of public administration entities regarding the issuance of individual administrative acts in the interests of private individuals. Legal relations between authorities and citizens are traditionally referred to as «external administrative law» or «formal administrative law».

PROBLEMS OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE FARMERS’ OPINION

The aim of the article was to determine the main problems of organic farming and to evaluate the support policy towards organic farming. The research distinguished three groups of organic farmers: committed, pragmatic, and pragmatic-involved, and then determined the differences and similarities of these groups concerning the identified problems and limitations in the development of organic farming and the assessment of support policy. In this study used qualitative survey methods conducted among 154 organic farms. The research results found that although farmers are interested in producing products using organic methods, they encounter significant difficulties: agrotechnical (related to weed infestation of agricultural fields), institutional, and market difficulties. The research has proven that the group of pragmatic farmers differs from the engaged and pragmatic-involved groups in terms of motives, as well as in the assessment of agricultural policy and the problems of developing organic farming. At the level of agricultural policy, there is a need to increase institutional and legal efficiency and establish a long-term strategy for developing organic agriculture. This study can be used to design a more effective policy for the growth of organic agriculture by public administration entities involved in its implementation.

ECONOMIC AND LEGAL REGULATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION ENTITIES IN THE INNOVATION SECTOR

The subject of the study is public relations in the field of economic and legal regulation of innovation activity. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is the methods of induction and deduction, the dialectical-materialist method, the method of analysis and synthesis, and the historical method, which allowed for an objective understanding of the content and essence of the issues under study. The purpose of the article is to analyse the theoretical and practical aspects of economic and legal regulation of activities of public administration entities in the innovation sphere in Ukraine and developed countries, and to propose effective ways to improve the mechanism of the relevant state policy. The results of the study show that the State economic and legal regulation of innovation activity is carried out with the aim of ensuring progressive transformations in the field of material production, increasing the competitiveness of the national product in the world market, improving the environmental situation, and strengthening the security and defence capability of the country. The economic and legal regulation of the activities of public administration entities in the innovation sphere should not restrict innovation processes (including through excessive structuring and detailing), but should set the direction of their evolution, constantly improve, dynamically monitoring changes in the situation. Conclusion. The main form of state support for the development of innovation is the economic and legal regulation of innovation activities, support for small innovative enterprises and the creation of a favourable innovation climate. The aim of state policy in this area is to move towards an innovative development path based on selected priorities. The state economic and legal regulation of innovation activity is carried out in order to ensure progressive transformations in the sphere of material production, increase the competitiveness of the national product on the world market, improve the environmental situation, strengthen the security and defence capability of the country. In order to achieve the effectiveness of innovation activities, it is necessary to adopt a new approach to solving the problems of antimonopoly policy, product quality management, safety and labour protection. This requires the adoption of new laws and regulations, which should take into account legal issues related to the development of production, resource conservation, environmental protection, etc. The regulatory framework of innovation activity should be brought in line with innovation policy, in particular, it should be closely linked to the measures provided for in the relevant state programme documents and should actively contribute to their implementation.

Legal regulation of land parcel normative monetary valuation approval by local self-government authorities

Introduction. In this paper, the legal nature of decisions made by local self-government authorities regarding the approval of technical documentation for normative monetary land valuation is analyzed. The recognition of these decisions as regulatory legal acts has been a complex issue, resulting in numerous disputes within the Ukrainian judiciary. The aim of this analysis is to enhance understanding and offer guidance on the implementation of these decisions within a legal framework. The purpose of the paper is to assess the legal standing of determinations issued by local self-governing bodies when it comes to the approval of normative monetary land assessments. We aim to determine whether such decisions can be considered regulatory legal acts and how this affects the economic and administrative relations between public administration entities and business entities. Results. During the analysis, key aspects of law as a societal phenomenon, legal norms, normative legal acts, and their history of emergence were thoroughly examined. Technical documentation related to normative monetary land valuation was also extensively explored. Particular attention was given to the history of land appraisal instruments, demonstrating that the primary objective of these instruments has always been to establish the objective natural characteristics of land, upon which land fees are calculated. Conclusion. The results of this research clearly indicate that decisions made by local self-government authorities concerning the approval of normative monetary valuation do not qualify as regulatory legal acts. They do not include mandatory legal norms established by law and do not regulate economic or administrative relations between public administration entities and business entities. In practice, this means that business entities have the opportunity to reduce land fees payable to the local budget. The conclusions of this study, supported by legal doctrine and the practical contributions of legal professionals, can be a valuable addition to the field of land law science and practical activities within this realm.

Procedural Obstacles in Cases of Appealing Decisions, Actions, Inaction of the National Agency for on Corruption Prevention

The relevance of the article lies in the fact that fair and correct resolution of administrative cases involving appeals against decisions, actions and omissions of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption is possible only if all the principles of administrative justice are observed. Good faith in the exercise of procedural rights and strict observance of obligations by all participants to administrative proceedings is defined as one of the principles of administrative justice, and its observance plays a key role in achieving the objective of administrative justice. The purpose of the article is to analyze procedural obstacles, in particular, abuse of procedural rights, in the course of consideration of cases involving appeals against decisions, actions and inactions of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. The study applies dialectical, formal legal, comparative legal, logical and semantic, statistical methods of scientific knowledge, as well as methods of observation, forecasting, classification and grouping, and prediction. The author examines certain aspects of the organization and activities of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. It is proved that the most common administrative cases involving appeals against decisions, actions or omissions of the NAPC are the recognition as unlawful and the reversal of the decision of this public administration entity on the results of a full verification of the declaration of a person authorized to perform the functions of the State or local self-government. It is emphasized that procedural obstacles may arise during consideration of cases involving appeals against decisions, actions, and inactions of a public authority. The author examines such a procedural obstacle as abuse of procedural rights. The author analyzes the dual aspect of abuse of procedural rights, in particular, the substantive and procedural aspects. The author establishes that abuse of procedural rights which have a substantive legal aspect may arise when applying to an administrative court. It is noted that the procedural and legal aspect is related to the abuse of procedural rights at various procedural stages of administrative proceedings to appeal against decisions, actions and inactions of the NAPC, in particular: 1) opening of proceedings; 2) preparatory proceedings; 3) consideration of the case on the merits; 4) adoption and adoption of a court decision. The author provides the stages at which abuse of procedural rights may occur, given that the case is considered in the form of general action proceedings by the court of first instance. Based on the study, the author formulates conclusions and provides recommendations that abuse of procedural rights as a procedural obstacle in administrative cases concerning appeals against decisions, actions, and inactions of the NAPC may have a dual purpose: to create procedural obstacles and to delay the consideration of a case. The application of procedural consequences by the court depends on the type of abuse of procedural rights committed at a particular stage of the proceedings.

Modalities of protection of the rights of individuals according to the administrative-procedural order and in legal-administrative procedures

The object of the research was to consider the methods of protection of people's rights according to the administrative-procedural order and also in administrative judicial proceedings. A number of normative legal acts regulating the use of tools for the protection of subjective public rights were considered. Attention has been drawn to the following methods of protection of people's rights, according to the administrative-procedural order and in administrative judicial proceedings: administrative procedure; administrative mediation; administrative appeal; subjecting guilty public administration officials to special disciplinary liability; compensation for damage caused by unlawful actions (inaction) of public administration entities; means of self-defense and legal means of protest. The methodological basis of the research was presented as comparative-legal and systematic analysis, formal-legal method, method of interpretation, hermeneutic method, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. It was concluded that in the scientific literature it is very often the case that protection methods are not used, but tools, means and forms. The authors also examine the methods of protection of rights, freedoms and interests of individuals in the sphere of public administration.

Digitalization of public administration and its pecularities and prospects in Ukraine

The article analyzes the digitalization of public administration and its peculiarities as an instrument of socio-economic changes in Ukraine in the context of European integration, because digital technologies allow us to change the way territorial communities and regions function, increase the level of labor productivity and well-being of the population, and overcome challenges in the field of public administration.
 It is discovered that digitalization creates a positive effect not only in public administration, but also in the field of economy, education, and culture, providing the saving in human, financial, and material resources, and promoting the solution of socially significant problems.
 It is noted that digitalization, as a process of society's transition to digital technologies in all spheres of public life, forms a more inclusive society and better governance mechanisms and is a tool for achieving Ukraine's strategic goal of increasing GDP by 8 times, up to1 trillion USD in 2030.
 It is determined that effective communication between society and public administration is possible only in the context of e-democracy, which involves the use of information technology by citizens, government, political parties at the local and regional levels, and improvement of procedures for providing and receiving public services. An example of e-democracy is the online platform «VzaiemoDiia»(Interaction), which expands the opportunities for citizens to participate in public administration processes, including vulnerable categories of the population, who currently have less opportunity to influence public decisions. Moreover, users will be able to receive high-quality feedback, since the Ministry of Digital Transformation not only collects all communication channels in a single «window» but also analyzes the imperfections to make each communication channel even more effective.
 It is substantiated that the digitalization of public administration allows us to increase the amount of open data and strengthen the guarantees of access to publicly available information contained in state and municipal information systems. In fact it changes and transforms social relations, changes the process of performing functions by public authorities, expands their capabilities in making management decisions based on data obtained with the help of the information technology, and in particular in the processes of administration, provision of state and municipal services by citizens in electronic form, the establishment of digital communication channels, artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of things, big data analytics, and cloud technologies.
 In further research, it is proposed to pay attention to the study of digitalization and digitalization processes in the executive and administrative activities of public administration entities.

Actual issues of interaction between water police units and territorial bodies of the State Fisheries Agency during fish protection raids

The article analyzes current issues of interaction between water police units and territorial bodies of the State Fisheries Agency during fish protection raids. It was established that the interaction of water police units and territorial bodies of the State Fisheries Agency is an important component of the cooperation of these public administration entities. It has been proven that a strong legal basis has been formed for the cooperation of water police units and territorial bodies of the State Fisheries Agency in the field of fish protection raids, which includes both the organizational aspects of the interaction of the above-mentioned subjects and determines their jurisdictional powers in the field of fish protection. Areas of interaction between water police units and territorial bodies of the State Fisheries Agency are highlighted, which include: detection of fishing violations; protection of water resources; implementation of control over the fulfillment of license conditions for carrying out economic activities in the field of fishing; prevention of administrative and criminal offenses in the field of fish protection; emergency response; ensuring control over the import and export of fish and seafood across the state border of Ukraine, etc. It is emphasized that one of the key areas of cooperation between the units of the water police and the territorial bodies of the State Fisheries Agency is the monitoring of compliance with the legislation in the field of fish protection in the form of conducting fish protection raids. The legal regulation in the field of organization and implementation of law enforcement raids was analyzed and the need to improve the current administrative legislation in this field of public administration was substantiated by giving water police units jurisdictional powers in the field of fish protection. The expediency of carrying out a theoretical and legal analysis of the regulatory support of the powers of water police units in the field of fish protection has been determined, with the aim of developing proposals for the preparation of a draft departmental specialized regulatory act aimed at regulating the administrative and legal status of the specified units of the National Police of Ukraine.
