The document is designed to meet the European integration commitments of Ukraine in terms of determining the legal and organizational basis for the state recognition of associations of agricultural producers (producers' organizations, associations of producers' organizations and interindustry organizations), providing such associations with the status of representative, creating conditions for self-regulation of their members as well as the conditions for the delegation of representative associations of agricultural producers.
The draft law is aimed at:
- determination of legal and institutional frameworks for recognition by the state of associations of agricultural producers (producers' organizations, associations of producers' organizations and inter-branch organizations) and granting of the status of representative organizations to such organizations
- introduction of additional rights to delegate certain powers of central executive bodies in regulation of agricultural activities to the organizations with the representative status;
- state supervision (control) over associations of agricultural producers;
- development of international cooperation, namely: the possibility of joining associations of agricultural producers in international (transnational) organizations of producers, their associations and inter-branch organizations and the recognition of associations of agricultural producers, whose members are non-residents.
