The Ukrainian parliament has decided not to pass a resolution on the cancellation of its decision of September 6, 2012 to adopt at second reading a law on amendments to some Ukrainian laws regarding the demarcation of state-owned and municipal land.
A total of 60 out of 353 lawmakers supported one of the resolutions,
and only 67 out of 350 lawmakers registered in the session hall
supported a second similar resolution.
The draft resolutions were drawn up by MPs Serhiy Sas (the
BYT-Batkivschyna faction) and Yuriy Karmazin (Our Ukrainian-People’s
Self Defense faction).
Sas said the decision on the adoption of the law should be canceled
as it was endorsed in violation of the Ukrainian Constitution and the
law on the regulations of the Ukrainian parliament.
The chairman of the parliamentary committee for regulations, lawmaker
ethics and supporting the parliament’s activities, Volodymyr Makeyenko,
said that the parliament did not violate the regulation during the
adoption of the said law.
As reported, on September 6, 2012, the Ukrainian parliament has
canceled its decision of June 21, 2012 on the adoption of the law
amending some Ukrainian laws regarding the demarcation of state-owned
and municipal land.
The Ukrainian parliament on June 21, 2012 passed law No. 10043 on
amendments to some Ukrainian laws regarding the demarcation of state and
municipal land.
According to the document, state or municipal land representing
special value is transferred to other categories under agreement with
the Ukrainian parliament.
The law also says that the transfer of state land plots to municipal
ownership or back is performed according to decisions of the relevant
executive power bodies, or local government bodies that are responsible
for the state or municipal ownership rights to land plots.
According to the document, land under state ownership that cannot be
transferred to municipal ownership include the land plots used by the
Russian Navy on the territory of Ukraine on the basis of international
agreements ratified by the Ukrainian parliament; land plots where
buildings and facilities in state ownership are located, and land plots
that are used by state bodies and organizations on a permanent basis.
The draft was passed at first reading on March 20, 2012.
