LEGISLATIVE MECHANISMS FOR ENSURING THE EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES, WHAT IS OWNED BY TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

The article shows that for progressive local development, especially in the conditions of the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, it is extremely necessary to use all possible types of resources – financial, property, natural, investment, informational, cooperative and other; it has been proven that in modern conditions, local self-government bodies should comprehensively approach the problem of nature use, in particular to minerals of local importance, consider any possibility of using, preserving and restoring natural resources owned by the territorial community. It was found that effective use of minerals owned by territorial communities is possible if local self-government bodies receive reliable and up-to-date information about their quantitative, qualitative and other characteristics, volume, nature and regime of their use; it is shown that a separate place in solving the issue of increasing the efficiency of the use of minerals of local importance belongs to public and self-government control, which should be carried out jointly. It has been proven that in the conditions of the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, territorial communities can consider the effective and rational use of minerals of local importance as one of the sources of replenishment of local budgets. It was found that the measures of responsibility for the illegal extraction of minerals of local importance provided for by the current legislation of Ukraine, regulated by the norms of the Code of Ukraine on administrative offenses, are not sufficiently effective; Directions for improving the activities of local self-government bodies regarding the effective use of minerals owned by territorial communities have been determined. For example, taking into account the opinion of territorial communities and local self-government bodies when considering issues of providing subsoil for use; the binding nature of decisions of local self-government bodies on the disposal of communally owned land plots to be used by mining enterprises; taxation of lands used by mining enterprises on the basis of equality, competition among enterprises and the interests of territorial communities; payment of compensations to the budgets of territorial communities for the expropriation of communally owned agricultural and forestry lands for purposes not related to such use.
