The law was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on September 21, 2013 (Reg. No. 2363-1)
The legislative act moves the time of entry into force of parts 3 and 4 of article 24 of the current law from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2015. These norms ban distribution (provision) of land from state or municipal ownership or use to natural and legal persons for urban needs in the absence of zoning plan or detailed plan of the territory and change of the purpose of land that does not meet the zoning plan.
The President of Ukraine thinks that the Law can not be endorsed because it “bans provision of urban conditions and limitation of the competent authorities of the urban development and architecture, it also bans the effect of the ban on land acquisition and change of their purpose in case of absence of the zoning plan and detailed plan of the territory for all urban centers of Ukraine, except Kyiv.”
According to the president of Ukraine, this will lead to violation of the constitutional norms “regarding the equality before the law of all subjects of rights to property, the ensuring of the state protection of rights of all subjects of rights to property and to economic management, social orientation of economy, equality before the law for all citizens, impossibility of privileges, restrictions based on residence” (articles 13, 24 of the Constitution of Ukraine) and will also have negative impact on the economic development of Kyiv City.
The President of Ukraine thinks that suggested approach to the regulation of land relations only in Kyiv is unjustified, thus he suggests exclude the words “except Kyiv City” in the respective clauses of the Law.
The respective bill was registered under No. 2363-1.
