There are // bodies in focus of our committee scan today:
Committee on State Building, Regional Policy and Local Self-Government
The committee corroborates renaming Dnipropetrovsk and Kirovohrad oblasts. The appropriate name-changing bills No.8329 and 8380 were reviewed at the committee meeting on June 20.
The new names – Sicheslav oblast and Kropyvnytskyi oblast correspondingly – are to be entered in the Constitution of Ukraine.
Adoption of these bills will allow it to complete the process of de-communization of the names of the administrative-territorial units of Ukraine, will promote the revival of the Ukrainian national identity, and will emphasize the importance of the regions as modern outposts of the Ukrainian statehood, which both have made significant contributions to repulsing the Russian aggression and preserving Ukraine’s territorial integrity. The Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance has also seconded this initiative by sending the committee a special letter containing relevant historical notes about the both oblasts mentioned.
Together with the Committee on Legal Policy and Justice, the committee commends the Parliament to consider the both bills, and then send them to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine to consummate the matter.
Committee on Agrarian Policy and Land Relations
The committee recommends the Parliament to take it on the first reading the draft bill No.8171 on the underlying principles of the state agrarian policy and the state policy of agricultural development. The above bill was reviewed the recent sitting of the committee.
The principal objective of the bill is laying a legislative groundwork for realization of the state agrarian policy and the state policy of agricultural development. The bill is to define the major principles and development priorities of the both policies to ensure a stable growth of the agricultural sector and agricultural development, giving access for all sorts of businesses to agro-industrial markets.
In the end, the committee decided to commend the Parliament to take the said bill No.8171 on the first reading, taking into account the proposals submitted.
