The purpose of this work has nothing to do with the measurement of this contradiction or its pace; rather, it is aimed at the observation of facts and identification of the smoothest way (means, logistics) to resolve this problematic situation. This approach stems from the fact that the recent international centennial practice has shown that the “relief” of years-long social tensions (that hamper any further development) by means of revolutionary public changes does not lead to protection of safeguarded public values (primarily, human health and lives, as well as human welfare); everything happens the other way round.The Centre for Education and Research into the Management of Supervisory Activities of the Academy of State Fire Service of Emercom of Russia has accumulated successful experience in application of the risk-oriented model of regulation of relations in the technosphere (the case of fire safety assurance aimed at the resolution of problematic situations in the process of design, operation, and organization of supervisory activities, fire investigations performed within the framework of court-appointed examinations, in the process of revising the legal and regulatory framework). This experience enables actors to make conclusions of public significance. The main conclusion deals with conversion of the present-day legal and regulatory framework focused on public relations in the field of the technosphere into the framework full of striking and proactive chaos. Specialists, trained to apply the standard model of state supervision, are unable to comprehend and adequately apply the effective legislation.The co-authors have formulated the assumption that the introduction of a risk-oriented model into the system of state supervision requires a drastic change in the professional mindset (professional culture) of executives responsible for governing the relations dealing with the technosphere, or (fire) safety assurance (employees of licensing and authorization departments)).

In modern conditions, the problems of fire safety in Ukraine become especially important. A significant increase of fires that have occurred in the country recently, have led to deaths and injuries and significant material damage. In this case, the introduction of modern effective methods of fire safety is particularly acute. The article shows main attention to significant shortcomings in the system of state regulation of fire safety in Ukraine, especially: lack of effective state supervision and control, non-compliance of domestic practices with standards and norms of high-educated countries, underdeveloped market of insurance services in the field of fire insurance. However, the no interest of the state, as well as individuals and legal entities in the use of risk-oriented approach with economic leverage in the form of an appropriate insurance system, lack of remote control by the state over business activities, low level of fire safety. The leading role in ensuring supervision and control belongs to the state itself, which must combine state and public beliefs and coercion, by applying to public relations appropriate measures provided for in the functioning of fire safety management.

The Ideal

There is a trend in Europe towards increasing the quality and performance of regulations. At the same time, regulatory failure has been observed in the area of building fire safety regulation in England and elsewhere. As a result, an analysis of the appropriateness of fire safety regulations in Spain is warranted, with the objective being to assess whether a suitable level of fire safety is currently being delivered. Three basic elements must be considered in such analysis: the legal and regulatory framework, the level of fire risk/safety of buildings that is expected and the level which actually results, and a suitable method of analysis. The focus of this paper is creating a legal and regulatory framework, in particular with respect to fire safety in buildings. Components of an ”ideal” building regulatory framework to adequately control fire risk are presented, the existing building regulatory framework is summarized, and an analysis of the gaps between the ideal and the existing systems is presented. It is concluded that the gaps between the ideal and the existing framework are significant, and that the current fire safety regulations are not appropriate for assuring delivery of the intended level of fire risk mitigation.

Background and objectives: Extemporaneous preparations are pharmaceutical preparations individually prepared for a specific patient or patient group, but also high-risk products accompanied by doubts regarding their safety and quality. Legislation regulating the compounding of extemporaneous preparations is not harmonized among European countries. This problem is partially resolved by Resolution CM/Res(2016)1 on quality and safety assurance requirements for medicinal products prepared in pharmacies for the special needs of patients. In order to understand the relevance of extemporaneous compounding in Latvia and the fulfillment of the abovementioned resolution’s requirements, it is essential to get information about the volume and breakdown of sales of extemporaneous medicinal products in community pharmacies. The purpose of this survey is to identify the sales volume of extemporaneous preparations in community pharmacies in Latvia in 2017 by analyzing unpublished data of the State Agency of Medicines (SAM), as well as comparing Latvian laws with the requirements of the resolution. Materials and Methods: A separate Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was prepared for each statistical region in order to summarize the unpublished information of SAM on the turnover of extemporaneous preparations in 2017 in all Latvian statistical regions. In order to compare the regulatory framework in Latvia with the resolution, the Latvian Pharmaceutical Law and the Cabinet of Ministers Regulations regulating prescription, compounding and control of extemporaneous preparations in community pharmacies were analyzed. Results: Only 280 of 384 pharmacies submitted a report of sales of extemporaneous preparations for 2017 to the SAM. These pharmacies represented all Latvian statistical regions. Extemporaneous preparations were mostly sold in Riga (78.93%). The Latvian regulation does not include all paragraphs of the resolution. Most of the paragraphs of the resolution are described in Latvian regulatory enactments only partially. Conclusions: The total number of compounding pharmacies evidence that the service is needed. Latvian example highlights a necessity for European Union countries to compare their national legislation with the requirements of the resolution’s last version and, if necessary, implement relevant amendments.

The subject. The paper is devoted to the main trends of the Russian customs law at the present stage.The purpose of the paper is to determine the place of customs law in the system of Russian law and to identify the features of its impact on the development of integration within the EAEU.The methodological basis for the study: general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, com-parison, description); private and academic (interpretation, formal-legal).Results, scope. Despite all the variety of social relations that make up the subject of customs law, their core is the relationship associated with the management of customs authorities, regulated by the rules of administrative law. In this regard, the allocation of customs law as an independent branch of law, in our opinion, is premature.Further development of integration within the EAEU has necessitated the development and adoption of a new codified legal act regulating public relations in the field of customs.Analysis of the provisions of the customs code of the EAEU revealed the following innovations, confirming the thesis on the simplification of regulation in the sphere of customs affairs:– reduction of terms of performance of separate customs operations;– priority of electronic Declaration form;– improvement of the Institute of customs control;– further development of the Institute of authorized economic operators.Conclusions. Customs law is a sub-branch of administrative law at present. A natural con-sequence of the integration processes is the transformation of the domestic customs law into an alloy of international law, integration law (acts of the EAEU) and national law.

The article clarifies that the systematization of legislation creates opportunities to quickly find and correctly interpret all the necessary regulations, which provides a purposeful and effective legal education of society. Systematization of legislation becomes important in reviewing the sources of law, orientation in the system of legislation, for the adoption of new regulations by law enforcement agencies in coordination with all regulations, addressing obsolete acts and finding the most effective means of regulatory regulation of public relations. In the article, the systematization of legislation should be understood as a set of organizational and legal actions defined by the current legislation of Ukraine, which is carried out by authorized public authorities to bring existing regulations into a single internally coordinated system that improves overall efficiency. Systematization is a process of organizing individual elements, creating the right conditions for them to cooperate and interact with each other. Systematization is one of the main factors of purposeful and effective legal education (formation of legal awareness) and research in the field of student education.
