A vast majority of agricultural land is leased, only a few owners manage their own land. The market with agricultural land falls behind and, together with land lease, it depends on the prosperity of Slovak agriculture. In comparison with the EU countries, the prices of land and land lease in Slovakia are disproportionately low. At present, the Slovak legislation is focused on legal regulation of long-term, i.e. lasting more than ten years, leasing. However, this raises a question whether we should not rather concentrate on the support of the developing market with agricultural land instead.

The article examines the features of the legal regulation of the circulation of agricultural land between agricultural producers in the EU and identifies areas for improvement of domestic legislation in this area. The study shows that world experience indicates the existence of various models of legal regulation of land turnover among agricultural enterprises, which can be effective if you take into account the specific features of a country and national interests. Virtually every country in the world in one way or another regulates such circulation. There are countries with «hard» and «soft» regulation of land transactions between agricultural producers. But almost every developed EU country gives priority to farmers living in the area and running the farm, in contrast to large agricultural holdings. Despite the fact that in the EU countries the legislation on the circulation of agricultural land between agricultural producers is based on different models of legal regulation, the positive experience of these countries should be used to improve domestic legislation in this area. In the field of legal support for the use of land by agricultural producers, it is necessary in domestic land legislation to pay special attention to the granting of preferential rights to acquire agricultural land to farms, local communities, tenants, etc.; provide for the establishment of a preferential procedure for the acquisition of such land and the provision of tax benefits; and to determine the limits of land concentration at the level of oblasts and united territorial communities or to establish a permitting procedure for the acquisition of land plots with an area larger than that established in the territory of a certain oblast or united territorial community. Keywords: agricultural lands, circulation of agricultural lands, agricultural commodity producers, agricultural holdings, farms

This paper analyses the commodity structure of Czech (CR) agrarian trade in relation to the EU countries. An emphasis is put on comparative advantages of particular aggregations from the view-point of their application on the EU internal market. This analysis is based on an evaluation of comparative advantages by means of a modified Balassa index. It is studied in two stages, for the internal EU market and the world market. The analysis results are then shown in a graph. Subsequently, the authors implement an idea arising from a BCG matrix on the results of the graphic presentation. The aim is to identify those aggregations (SITC, rev. 3) which are or have a potential to be a pillar of agri-business (ie, the “cash cows” and “stars”), and vice versa to show the aggregation which are non-prospective in the long term or problematic (ie, the “dogs” and “problem children”). As start are identified as those aggregations which are characterised by the highest growth rate of comparative advantage value. From the analysis results, changes are apparent if we compare the CR trade commodity structure in relation to the EU countries. Findings also concern the development of comparative advantages and following CR specialisation on trade with certain aggregations.

In the world, it is customary to create biological databases of different species. And initially, the databases for the investigation of crimes were widespread. However, later, when their potential and benefits, including for medicine, were assessed, the databases for other areas appeared. Russia was no exception in this regard. Although, in our country, unlike foreign states, the activities of biological databases based on purposes other than the disclosure of crimes are practically not regulated in any way. This article deals with the analysis of legal regulation of biobanks in the Russian Federation and abroad. Special attention is paid to the classification of biobanks. The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility in the legislative regulation of their activities, as well as the patterns in such a regulation. To achieve this goal, the authors studied extensive regulatory material, which included EU directives and national regulations of the EU member states. The methodological basis of the study was the general scientific and private scientific meth-ods of research. Of course, such private scientific research methods as the comparative-legal method and the formal legal method have been widely used. Due to the comparative legal analysis, it is established that the EU countries have a high level of legislative activity in terms of determining the legal regime of biological databases. All countries recognize the specifics of such a legal regime, which can largely be explained by a special legal nature of biological samples and biological data. In this regard, the following issues related to the activities of biological databases are reflected everywhere in the EU countries at the level of law: the procedure for their creation; the procedure for receiving, processing, storing and transmitting biological samples and the data obtained on their basis; the rights and obligations of database creators and persons who have provided their biological samples and biological data about themselves; a set of measures aimed at protecting the rights and interests of donors and third parties, etc. As it seems, a similar approach to the regulation of the activities of biological bases estab-lished not for the investigation of crimes should be implemented by Russia. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the research of biological databases. In the Russian Federa-tion, they are created, as a rule, at the local level. Their main drawback is that they are sepa-rate sources of limited biological information, functioning independently of each other while comprehensive (concentrated in one place) information can bring invaluable benefits and advantages for Russian science and medicine as a whole. However, this requires the estab-lishment of an appropriate legal framework.

The paper deals with the main parameters of the Ukrainian securities market at the current stage, identifies its functioning problems, gives a set of measures for the effective implementation of Ukraine's desire to integrate the national stock market into the European Union. Compared with the stock markets of the EU countries, the domestic securities market is underdeveloped, poorly regulated and illiquid, therefore there is the need to develop it and implement the European legislative initiatives. The paper covers the basic laws in the field of legal regulation of the Ukrainian and EU securities market. The investigation includes the results of the research of the current experience in leading European countries in terms of capitalization of the largest stock exchanges in Europe. The classification of 5 largest European stock exchanges is given and the influence of COVID-19 virus on their activity is analyzed. The main trends in the field of securities investment market of the largest stock exchanges in Europe and Ukraine are led. While examining statistical data concerning the capitalization of European stock exchanges in comparison with the PFTS of Ukraine in 2019, the LSE (London Stock Exchange) ranks 1st with €3.86 bn., 2nd place is taken by Euronext – €3.4 bn., 3rd place by Deutsche Börse having capitalization volume at the level of €1.9 bn., and PFTS Ukraine – €0.17 bn., which indicates that Ukrainian securities market is insufficiently elaborated. Nowadays, the Ukrainian securities market repeats European historical development trends, and at this stage it largely depends on the directions of development that international stock markets can take. Changes in European securities markets are extremely rapid and require competent response from regulatory structures. The rapid development of the European stock market, accompanied by the emergence of advanced technologies in the field of securities and new financial instruments, make it necessary to monitor all the changes and innovations that happen in the Ukrainian securities market in order to develop more effective recommendations for improving its functioning and regulation. In addition, integration with the European Union requires deeper and more radical reforms of the domestic state administration, macroeconomic regulation, property relations, and anti-corruption policy. Only a large-scale and complete reform will enable progressive renewal and effective, socially responsible integration into the EU countries, taking into account national interests.

The article analyzes approaches to the prevention of female fraud in order to identify the best ways to combat fraud committed by women. Theoretical approaches to the measures to prevent crimes committed by women, in particular, female fraud were examined. Peculiarities of the legal regulation of the prevention of female fraud in Ukraine have been studied. The conclusion was made about the insufficiency of normative acts aimed at combating female fraud in Ukraine. In addition, the investigation revealed that measures taken in Ukraine to prevent female fraud were poor and insufficient. In parallel, the experience of the EU countries and the USA in the prevention of female fraud was analyzed in the article. The programs and methods of prevention of crimes committed by women in the USA and the EU have been studied. Based on this analysis, proposals to improve approaches to the prevention of female crime, in particular, female fraud, have been developed. In particular, the conclusion was made that preventive work among the population as well as creation of special programs to work with women would be relevant.

This paper aims to explore, based on theoretical and empirical research in the field and on data available on Eurostat and European Commission, in the context of financial significant imbalances and thus of the financial stress in the EU countries and especially in the Euro area, the main developments in the fiscal consolidation process given the fiscal effort of each country towards fiscal union. Since the financial crisis started in 2008, many EU Member States demonstrates an obvious macroeconomic imbalance which requires increased responsibility regarding fiscal developments. The impact of the crisis and the causes of sovereign debt high levels trends varied between EU countries as well as the budget deficit levels. Thus, the main priority for EU members must be the continuation of differentiated fiscal consolidation, given the specificities of each economy, favoring growth. The medium-term fiscal policy needs to focus on consolidating public finances along with restoring long-term sustainability.

Currently, the Russian Federation is experiencing a transformation of migration flows from temporary to permanent. The largest share of migrants comes from the countries of Central Asia, where the demographic and economic situation stimulates a long-term increase in flows of labour migrants. In these conditions, it is necessary to examine issues of adaptation and integration of migrants. We review scientific literature on the adaptation practises of labour migrants. We applied the method of comparative analysis due to the importance the accumulated experience of European countries, which chose a policy of active integration. We analysed scientific publicactions, which are indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, E-library databases, and focused on the factors and models of adaptation of labour migrants from Central Asia in Russia and the countries of the European Union (EU). The study revealed the growing interest in the research topic, increased publication activity and joint research by representatives of different countries. In most cases, researchers note the role of social capital in the adaptation of migrants, the length of the acculturation process of migrants and the importance of participation of the host community in the process. We proposed to consider the experience of bilateral adaptation in the EU countries. As the flow of migrants to the EU countries from Central Asia increases, the interest in this topic on the part of Western researchers will grow. The research results can be used to improve efficiency in the research of migration processes.

The preconditions for agriculture are in general worse in Finland than in most EU countries. The growing period is shorter and the effective temperature sum is lower. Mainly due to the unfavourable natural conditions the yield level in Finland is low in comparison with the EU countries. Finnish farms are considerably smaller than farms in the most important EU countries. Regional income disparities are a great problem. The Finnish producer prices were a lot higher than in the EU. It was clear that Finnish agriculture would face great difficulties after accession into the EU. The agricultural chapter of the Accession Treaty can be divided into three groups: conditions related to production; agreements on the support system; and the arrangements concerning the transitional period. It was important for Finland to reach an adequate level of support. Finally Finland was allowed to pay nordic support which was a new form in the support system of the EU. This nordic support is paid on the basis of the hectares of agricultural land or heads of animals. The support for the transitional period may be paid for only five years. This support must be regional and degressive. If serious difficulties should appear the EU Commission may authorise Finland to grant national support to facilitate full integration. In 1995, the year of accession, the producer prices went down considerably. Agricultural income has fallen by 36% in 1998 compared to 1994. In spite of this no collapse in production has occurred. In general, agricultural production has kept its preaccession level. Rapid rationalisation and various supports have helped farmers to trust in agriculture.
