The reform of the state power, both at the level of local self-government and at the level of the state executive authorities, cannot be carried out without reviewing the basic legislative framework, Amendments to the current legislation and the development and adoption of completely new regulations, which will be the legislative basis for the quality implementation of the public administration reform. The work analyzes the current stage of reforming the administrative and territorial structure of our state, which provides for a significant expansion of the sphere of influence and competence in certain areas of local self-government bodies. The reform of local self-government must be carried out on the basis of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, the provisions of the European Charter of Local Self-Government and respect for the basic European principles of democracy. That is why the best example for the implementation of reforms in Ukraine can be the experience of European countries on the implementation of the reform of the new distribution of powers among the authorities. The most practical way for Ukraine will be to apply the experience of reforming the governing bodies of France and Poland. This article contains my developed comparative table of the duties of a newly established body, such as a prefect in Ukraine, as well as the corresponding duties of officials of this type in European countries (Poland and France). The work also investigated the impact of the newly established body on local self-government. The current draft of the Law of Ukraine "About Prefect" is analyzed and the appropriate conclusions are made.

During 2017–2020, a team of researchers at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements conducted a series of primary and secondary studies on land record modernisation initiatives in five states and union territories of India. Based on extensive on-ground research, this work is part of a five-volume set that presents findings from Delhi, Maharashtra, Chandigarh, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh, with a focus on urban land and property records and the associated complexities. This volume on Maharashtra brings out the impact of having a historically enshrined system of maintaining property records even in urban areas, created via city surveys. The state also has a supporting legislative framework, which has enabled capturing some details of vertical property, although in a fragmented and decentralised manner.

United territorial communities in the context of decentralization are authorized to carry out public procurement at their own discretion. However, additional responsibility reinforces the need to involve the institution of audit as a guarantor of the economic and social feasibility of the process. The purpose of the article is to determine the place of public procurement as one of the objects of the national audit system in order to increase the efficiency of management of united territorial communities. It was found that, despite the improvement of legislative regulation in the sphere of public procurement, the illegal, often “lobbied” use of budgetary funds requires increased control, both from the state and the public, and from the actual administration of the united territorial communities. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the state audit of public procurement were revealed. The directions of improving the state audit of the public procurement process in united rural territorial communities were proposed, while observing the priority of sustainable development goals. The capabilities of the electronic public procurement platform Prozorro were critically assessed. The reasons and prerequisites for the elimination of the corruption component of the public procurement process at the local (united territorial communities) and global (national economy) levels were identified. The need for IT-auditing in the field of legality and economic feasibility of using budget funds in rural territorial communities was proved. The impact of the audit on the general system of information and analytical support of management consists in assessing the effectiveness of activity processes, information processes and control procedures in order to improve the management model of activity and, accordingly, the decision-making system.

The article is concerned with topical issues of the State regulation of public procurement in Ukraine in the context of reforms and integration processes. The conceptual principles of regulation of the public procurement system have been formulated, taking into account the requirements and challenges of modern processes of reforms of the national economy and the implementation of the European integration vector. The public procurement system is considered as a new institutional unit in the national economy – the market for goods and services to the State-owned institutions and organizations with the involvement of budgetary funds. The significance of the public procurement system for the country’s economy as an environment for financing and implementing entrepreneurial initiatives aimed at creating high-quality goods and services, which is characterized by volumes equal to 15% of GDP, is substantiated. The article is aimed at defining the theoretical-conceptual and applied principles of the State regulation of the public procurement system in Ukraine in the context of efficient implementation of reform goals and taking into account the impact and challenges from the active participation of the national economy in the international distribution of labor in the course of integration processes with the EU countries. The article defines the key directions of the State policy on the regulation of the public procurement system, which include: stimulating the economic development of the entrepreneurial sector and overall economic growth on the basis of sustainability and balance; support for the production of domestic goods and services with high added value; stimulation of production of goods and services using local resources; stimulating the creation by domestic producers of both goods and services of cooperation associations in order to use the opportunities for the distribution of labor to create more competitive products; supporting the formation of an economic basis for the development of territorial and economic entities in the regions of Ukraine. As for the above defined directions of the State regulation of the public procurement system in Ukraine, appropriate measures have been proposed, the implementation of which is expected to contribute to the strengthening of the national economy and does not contradict the provisions of ratified international agreements.

The past few years have seen a fundamental and broadly based change in the response to domestic violence perpetrated by men against women. The Act on Protection against Domestic Violence which entered into force on May 1st, 1997 reflects this new orientation, or rather this shift in paradigm, which has led to a new understanding of the phenomenon of domestic violence and defines appropriate response by the state by it. The impact of this shift in paradigm is considerable: not only have public authorities and private women?s institutions changed their attitudes towards domestic violence, but the general public now responds to this phenomenon in a manner that is entirely different from what it was prior to the approach. Reports on cases of violence no longer merely state the facts indifferently, but now invariably end with the question whether the authorities had been informed and whether they had taken any action to prevent the crime. Thus the public authorities have come to assume responsibility for combating domestic violence as a result of societal developments.

Non-pharmacy trade concerns the sale of medicinal products outside of pharmacies, such as limited-service pharmacies, supermarkets, petrol stations, shops open to the public, and kiosks. Access to medicinal products via non-pharmacy outlets varies across the European countries, with a general deregulation of this market area observable. Increasing the availability of medicines by allowing patients to obtain them outside of pharmacies contributes to the spread of self-medication. The aim of this article was to review the legal regulations enabling the non-pharmacy trade in OTC (over the counter) medicinal products in European countries, with particular emphasis on the analysis of active substances contained in medicines available in the non-pharmacy trade. This analysis has made it possible to distinguish three categories of countries: (1) where there is a non-pharmacy trade in OTC medicinal products, (2) where there is a limited non-pharmacy trade in OTC medicines, (3) where there is only a pharmacy trade in OTC medicinal products. In the context of these considerations, we highlight the impact of patient access to medicinal products via non-pharmacy sources on raising the prevalence of self-medication. This article identifies the advantages and risks of self-medication, emphasising the role of the pharmacist as an advisor to patients within the scope of the therapies used.

Today Ukraine is on the path to European integration, which requires the introduction of the best practices of European countries, including in terms of taxation of consolidated groups of enterprises. At present, in European countries, consolidated value added taxation is one of the ways to solve the problem of reducing the tax burden on business, providing enterprises with additional investment resources and stimulating their innovative development. In addition, the consolidated tax system reduces the cost of tax administration for both the state and business. Therefore, the issue of introducing value added tax is relevant for Ukrainian practice. The purpose of the research is to study the content and determine the specifics of consolidated value added taxation in European countries and to consider the possibilities of its application in Ukraine for innovation and investment processes intensifying. The specifics of the scientific tasks that are the subject of the study required the use of a set of special methods, the application of which helped to analyze the impact of consolidated value added taxation on innovation and investment processes in European countries. The study was conducted using quantitative methods, including comparative analysis, and qualitative methods, including case study. The study identified the essence and basic principles of consolidated value added taxation. Two types of consolidated VAT taxation in European countries are analyzed: the regime of full consolidation and the regime of partial consolidation. The advantages and disadvantages of consolidated VAT taxation for the state and taxpayers are substantiated. It was found out that in European countries, consolidated value added tax is aimed at improving the conditions of doing business and providing taxpayers with additional opportunities to apply special tax rules. As a result of the study, it was proved that the introduction of approaches in Ukraine that correspond to the European experience of consolidated VAT taxation will help to solve important tasks of bringing its tax system closer to foreign standards and intensifying innovation and investment processes at the micro- and macro levels.

Subject of research – relations in the process of improving the mechanism of regulation of road development in Ukraine and putting into practice proposals to ensure innovative approaches and modernization of the road system on the basis of public-private partnership are formed. The purpose of the article. The scien- tific and methodological and practical proposals with the purpose of applying the mechanism of regulation of the road economy development as a promising of the national economy have been developed. The methodology of the work. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the system of both general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition, fundamental provisions of modern economic theory and practice. In scientific research such methods as mono- graphic in formulating approaches that the development of the road economy de- pends not only on the level of economic development, but also on the influence of regulatory mechanisms that are applied, economic and statistical – in determining and calculating the concession payment for the right to management are used. The results of the work – the scientific results of the improved basis of development of the national economy through the creation of an effective mechanism for the implementation of new rules and tasks in the system of regulation in the field of road economy are proposed for application. Conclusions. We propose modern mea- sures and tools for shaping the innovative environment, and we propose to intro- duce such rules that would meet the interests of the authorities, increase the level of protection of interests of private investors and the state in the implemen- tation of public-private partnership projects. The advantages in developing mech- anisms for guaranteeing public-private partnership project financing by the state partner during the whole project implementation period are substantiated; mecha- nism of fair compensation in case of early termination of the public-private part- nership contract at the initiative of the state partner in order to compensate for the reasonable losses of the private partner. The scientific-methodological and practical proposals for the purpose of application of the mechanism of regulation of the road development are revealed. It is proved that due to the impact of mod- ernization transformations, the public-private partnership can play a dual role as an institutional innovation and has every reason to combine both the modernization of investment activity and the modernization of the regulatory mechanism for the purpose of evolutionary transformations in the leading spheres of the national economy.
