You're reading: Regions: Only citizens should be allowed to buy land

When a moratorium on the sale of agricultural land is cancelled, the right to purchase agricultural land should be given only to individuals, who are citizens of Ukraine, the leader of the parliamentary faction of the Party of Regions, Oleksandr Yefremov, has said.

"The faction and the ministry have worked out an approach [to this matter], which could be used at the initial stage… The first step on the path towards the land market can be permitting to purchase and sale land only to individuals – citizens of Ukraine," he said during the "Big Politics" talk show on the Inter Channel on Friday evening.

He noted that the parliament worked out two bills related to lifting the moratorium on land sales, namely a bill on the inventory of land and the bill related to the land market.
