Based on the analysis of normative-legal acts and certain scientific-methodological sources, the article under studies identifies the typical tools, applied by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in the course of administering its powers. Proper organization and quality legal regulation of the competence, legal forms and methods of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine are of great significance since they affect public relations and the growth of population’s welfare, which is the Cabinet’s main purpose and task. The above considerations require the search for modern democratic and legal approaches to determine the forms of activity of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. In our opinion, this might be achieved through analyzing various scientific and methodological sources, normative-legal acts on the issue, as well as by means of articulating proposals regarding the improvement of the existing legislation, which in turn, will ensure effective implementation of public policy in Ukraine. The issuance of resolutions and orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is a procedure carried out in a certain sequence. It aims at achieving a clearly defined legal result and requires specific regulation through procedural rules. This procedure is carried out within the framework of two proceedings: a) on the issuance of resolutions and b) on the issuance of orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. In its activities, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine applies various legal forms, which can be defined as ad-ministrative and legal tools. Therefore, it is essential to bring the legislation of Ukraine in line with the European standards, in particular in terms of normative-legal consolidation of the tools of public administration, with the aim of avoiding the use of such outdated concepts as “forms of governing”, “forms of state governing”, etc.
