Regarding the question of types of law-making activity

The article analyzes types of law-making activity in the context of modern legal transformations. Definitive definitions of law-making activity are considered. It is a common point of view that law-making activity is one of the forms of state activity in the form of competent bodies, institutions and organizations, which are authorized in the cases provided for by law to prepare, issue or improve normative legal acts. It is noted that the presented definitions do not differ significantly from each other and indicate the purpose, content and types of this definition: 1) aims at the effective regulation of social relations by planning, developing, adopting, keeping records of regulatory and legal acts, as well as implementing their legal monitoring; 2) represents a system of organizational actions (procedures, rules); 3) it is a legally defined activity of entities specially authorized by the state.

The types of law-making activity are characterized depending on the subject of its implementation, in accordance with the Law «On Law-making Activity». It is noted that all types of law-making activity can be conditionally divided into two general vectors: 1) law-making is related to issues of war and martial law; 2) law-making is related to European integration processes in the country.

The first vector is characterized by the law-making activity of parliamentarians in the context of passing laws necessary to solve current issues, in particular the defense of the country, information security, and the functioning of the economy during the war. It is emphasized that thanks to the coordinated work of state authorities in the state, it was possible to adjust life in conditions that are far from normal, which is an extremely valuable experience, although it is given to us at too high a price. The main goal of the first vector of law-making activity is the task of finding a balance between the protection of one’s territories and economic support, and to reflect this properly in the law. With regard to the second vector, it should be emphasized that the Ukrainian authorities, as well as society, are fully mobilized around the implementation of the recommendations of the European Commission, which is necessary for the start of negotiations on accession, and on this way demonstrate an incredible pace of implementation of reforms. At the same time, it is necessary to realize the main thing — in addition to the harmonization of national legislation with the EU, it is necessary to achieve progress in the rule of law. And this issue is much more difficult to implement than bringing legislation to specifically prescribed norms.

Key words: law-making activity, types of law-making activity, subjects of law-making activity, harmonization of legislation, rule-making, European integration
