The article is devoted to the problem of a legally secured attempt to repeal the Commercial Code of Ukraine and thus undermine the legal economic order, exaggerating the importance of certain civil structures of property regulation for the economy. In this regard, the article attempts to present a range of arguments in favor of comprehensive, organic and effective regulation of economic market relations, as well as in favor of effective legal support for the implementation of the state's own economic policy which is economic and legal regulation. Hypothetically, the abolition of the Commercial Code of Ukraine cannot be equated with the abolition of only certain forms of property rights and certain organizational and legal forms of economic organizations. Such an action will lead to the undermining of the entire legal economic order by the universal basic algorithm of which the Commercial Code of Ukraine serves. After all, only it formed the types of economic relations, types of economic activity - commercial and non-commercial management, economic policy and legal principles of its implementation, state regulation of economic activity and a certain classification of its main legal means of influence, the system of economic entities, which provides ample opportunities choose a specific organizational and legal form from a wide range of options, features of the legal status of state and municipal enterprises - the basis of special legal regimes of the state and municipal sectors of the national economy and many other socially significant aspects. Accordingly, the article raises the question of the economic effect of the introduction of the proposed bill, which should be taken into account and proposed for discussion, as its destructive potential is obvious. The article also draws attention to the need for criminological examination of this civil bill, one of the large-scale results of which should be the transfer of ownership from the state and local communities to the ownership of legal entities - companies to the relevant public property

The article examines a model of legal circulation of virtual currency. The issue of the legal nature of virtual currencies remains controversial. This generates a problem of choosing the most suitable and effective approach to regulation of virtual currencies circulation. The article analyzes approaches to determining the legal nature of cryptocurrencies and the experience of state regulation in Switzerland, Japan, the USA and China. Methods of legal analysis, synthesis, specific scientific methods, and social research survey have been employed in this article. As a result of the conducted socio-legal study, it has been found that there is no unified strategy of legal regulation of virtual currencies, which affects their perception by recipients. This conclusion is based on the comparative analysis of legal regulation of crypto­currencies circulation in such countries as Japan, the USA, and Switzerland. By contrast with these countries, China has significantly restricted usage of cryptocurrencies, actually having chosen the way of banning virtual currencies. The inconsistency of legal regulation can be observed not only between different countries, but also within one state, which is proved by the situation in the USA and Switzerland. At the present time, the system of government regulation of cryptocurrencies circulation is the most effective in Japan.

The article highlights the issue of legislative consolidation and implementation of the powers of public authorities and other entitiesin the field of port dues in Ukraine. The imperfection of the legal support of management activities in this area is manifested in thefact that special legislation in the legal mechanism of port dues provides for the presence of a specially authorized body – the nationalcommission for state regulation in the field of transport. Such a commission should ensure the establishment of the rates of port fees,approval of the methodology for their calculation and control over the targeted use of funds from such fees. At present, the absence ofa national commission, as well as the absence of a legislative act that determines the legal basis of its activities, leads to inadequate provisionof the port collection process by the state. This is claimed, in particular, in the contradictions in determining the legal nature ofport dues, the lack of justification for their rates, as well as the lack of mechanisms to control the targeted use of funds from such payments.Due to the fact that the laws do not contain a provision stipulating that the procedure for organizing the activities of a national commission is determined by a separate special law, there is also the problem of uncertainty about the legal status of such a commission.According to the current legislation, the legal basis for the activities of the national commission in the field of transport as a centralexecutive body must be determined in accordance with the legislation on central executive bodies, namely: at the level of the relevantregulation approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.

Problem setting. The article deals with the problematic issues of legal regulation of economic activity in Ukraine. At the same time, attention is focused on the need to distinguish between such categories as “public administration” and “state regulation”. Analysis of recent researches and publications. In the doctrine of economic law the problems of determining the subject of economic and legal regulation, the legal status of participants in economic relations, the essence of organizational and economic relations have attracted attention, including at the level of individual monographs, such scientists as V. K. Mamutov, I. Yu. Krasko, I. A. Tanchuk, D. V. Zadykhailo, V. A. Ustimenko; V. B. Laptev, S. I. Bevz, O. M. Vinnyk, O. Yu. Illarionov, V. Nagrebelny, V.S Shcherbina, O. P. Vikhrov and others. However, even today the question of the sphere of relations that are the subject of economic and legal regulation, the relationship between the concepts of “economic management (economic activity)”, “organizational and economic relations” and “state regulation of economic activity”, and the understanding of individual researchers of organizational and economic relations that arise in the process of implementation of public administration and regulation of economic activity, as one of the types of economic relations, are insufficiently substantiated. Formulation of goals (purpose) of the article. The author of this article aims to determine: the scope of economic and legal regulation of public relations; relations that are covered by the concept of “organizational and economic relations” and are subject to regulation of commercial law; to differentiate “organizational and economic relations” arising from the management and regulation of economic activity. Article’s main body. It is noted that the subject of regulation of the Civil Code of Ukraine includes two groups of economic relations: (a) economic relations that arise in the process of organizing economic activity; (b) economic relations arising in the course of economic activity. Legal definition of organizational and economic relations (Part 6 of Article 3 of the Civil Code of Ukraine) is based on the categories of “organization” and “management” of economic activity. However, none of these concepts is defined by a codified act. It is established that public administration should be understood, first of all, as the activity of public authorities on the practical implementation of the political course. These activities should be based on appropriate procedures that should ensure its legitimacy and protect the legitimate rights of citizens from illegal actions by public authorities and their officials. In essence, public administration is derived, on the one hand, from political activity, on the other – from the political course and traditionally these activities. Conclusions. It is emphasized that the management of economic (commercial) activities includes forecasting, planning, financing, budgeting, taxation, lending, administration, accounting and control. The purpose of state regulation is to streamline the activities of business entities, provide economic processes with an organized nature, ensure compliance with laws, balance private and public interests, ensure public and state interests.
