The article deals with an important and relevant issue – measures to combat smuggling and corruption during customs clearance of commercial goods in Ukraine. The authors analyze the scientific doctrine regarding the nature and level of influence of smuggling and corruption on the state budget and the level of economic growth in Ukraine. It has been found out that scientists who choose different definitions and forms were unanimous about the negative nature and level of harmful influence of these phenomena on the economy of Ukraine. Various methods were used in the article: dogmatic, formal legal, and system-structural. It is proposed to analyze the main measures necessary to overcome smuggling and corruption in the customs clearance of commercial goods in Ukraine. First, the implementation of the principle of transparency in the activities of customs during the customs clearance of commercial goods. Second, updating the qualification requirements for positions in this service and the procedure for competitive selection. Third, criminalizing the smuggling of commercial goods. Fourth, establishing coordination of law enforcement and regulatory agencies of Ukraine with the relevant authorities of neighboring countries. Fifth, expanding the powers of the State Customs Service of Ukraine to investigate the smuggling of commercial goods. It is concluded that it is necessary and important to develop and introduce specific, rather than declarative, measures to counteract smuggling and corruption in the customs clearance of commercial goods in Ukraine.

The existence of State-Owned enterprises (SOE) as one of Indonesia’s legal entities, whereby the State owns part of all of the capital of the company has presented several legal issues. The BUMN Act that has become the basis for establishing State-Owned enterprises has become its own independent legal subject and separates itself from the wealth of the State and has adhered to the provisions of the Company Law Act so that the capital that is presented by the State to the corporation remains as the capital of the SOE and not form the State. However, existing legislations regarding State funds places the funds for SOE as being part of the State budget. This ambiguity in the status of BUMN Funds is not only found in legislations but also in two different constitutional court decisions that presents inconsistencies towards law enforcers. This clear distinction is crucial in the practice of law enforcement in Indonesia.

This article considers the legal and practical aspects of the amendment to Article 209 of the Penal Code, which provides for liability for evading maintenance obligations, determined by the number of court orders, settlements and other agreements. The necessity to change the regulations was justifi ed by the low recoverability of maintenance arrears and the relatively small number of indictments made against the perpetrators of these acts. The crime of not paying child maintenance is socially burdensome and generates signifi cant expenses from the state budget. The legislator, justifying the draft law, considered that its amendment would temporarily increase the burden of law enforcement, but the author cites arguments that this increase will be permanent and will affect not only the prosecutor’s offi ce and the police, but also other institutions which will be required to report information about the offender. However, for over a year after the introduction of the amendment, the authorities conducting preparatory proceedings have been overburdened. In addition, imprecise regulations make it diffi cult to interpret them and put them into practice. The study also addresses the issues of new institutions enabling the perpetrator to avoid liability for the act committed in connection with the payment of all maintenance arrears and the current penalties, as well as the signs of both the basic and qualifi ed types of the crime.

In Vietnam, there are currently more than 40 State off-budget funds (off-budget funds) operating. These are special financial institutions owned by the government that are not part of the State budget and that established by the State to mobilize additional resources from the society to facilitate the determined tasks. In recent years, off-budget funds have made important contributions to ensuring social goals, attracting investment from domestic and foreign sources and providing additional revenue to the State budget to support economic growth and social development. However, according to many assessments, the tasks of managing, monitoring and evaluating off-budget funds are still inadequate. Moreover, because the policy framework for off-budget funds are still imperfect, these funds could not meet the expected efficiency level. There are issues relating to the “self-controlling” spending problems, lack of unified framework and mechanisms governing different types of off-budget funds, and the unique charter of each fund. These issues have been causing the problems of overlapping objectives, tasks, revenue and expenditure activities of off-budget funds with the State budget. In some cases, off-budget funds are even relying on the annual state budget that fragmenting the State’s resources. This paper presents an overview of the current situation and governing policies of the off-budget funds in Vietnam, as well as analyzes some limitations and shortcomings of such funds and makes suggestions for solutions to govern and manage off-budget funds efficiency expecting by the Party and the government.


Subject The series of tax-related measures that the Fidesz government hopes will boost competitiveness and support GDP by reducing labour shortages. Significance Following disappointing economic growth of just 2.2% on an unadjusted basis in the third quarter, owing to a larger-than-expected drop in investment, Fidesz’s latest tax-related measures are well-timed, since the economy is expected to slow in the final quarter of 2016. The government insists no amendments will be needed in the state budget, and is now forecasting 3.1% GDP growth in 2017, after 2.5% this year. Impacts Value-added tax cuts and rises in public-sector minimum wages will cause inflation to rise faster in 2017, as deflationary trends disappear. The unemployment rate is expected to bottom out as workers return from neighbouring countries. The government will need to make complementary reforms in education and privatising the state-dominated energy and telecoms sectors. If it does not, competitiveness as measured by wage growth and productivity will remain subdued.
