Public control over the relocation of strategic objects of state ownership

Abstract

The relevance of the chosen study subject is due to the fact that the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine caused the need to move enterprises, especially strategic objects of state ownership, from the zone of active military operations to safer regions. Therefore, there is a need to make adjustments to the field of public control over objects of strategic importance for the economy, security, and life of the country in a difficult time for it. The purpose of the study is to determine the state of public control as a regulation of the relocation process in the legal context of regulatory support and suggest improving state regulation, considering the existing norms of national legislation, regulatory acts, and programmes. In the process of writing the study, general scientific and special methods were used, such as: analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, formalisation, formal legal, comparative legal, and the method of legal modelling. As a result of the study, the legal regulation of public control of relocated strategic objects in the system of existing relocation procedures is analysed. Doctrinal and legislative approaches to the interpretation of control, public control, strategic enterprises, and relocation itself are described. Features of international support for the relocation of Ukrainian enterprises to safer regions are considered. The main methods of optimising the relocation process have been identified, emphasizing the necessity to legislatively define the process itself and the related concepts. Additionally, the regulatory framework for public control over strategic enterprises has been elaborated upon. The necessity to establish a special legal regime for public control over relocation is justified. The practical value of the results obtained lies in the fact that they can be used in the development of new regulatory legal acts that will determine the proper legal mechanism in one codified act on the relocation of businesses from non-safe territories.
