The Grand Chamber of the Constitutional Court refused to open the case on the recommendation of the people's deputies on introducing amendments to the land code of Ukraine. This submission was submitted to the COP by 55 people's deputies. It referred to the need to amend the law, which would have allowed to lift the moratorium and allowed the Ukrainians to sell agricultural land. This is stated on the website of the Constitutional Court. In particular, the issue of compliance of paragraphs 14, 15 of Section X of the Transitional Provisions of the Land Code of Ukraine with the Constitution. Following the meeting, the Court decided to refuse to open the constitutional proceedings. Recall that the moratorium was extended in December 2017 until 2019.

After that, the deputies tried to cancel the extension of the ban. As a result, an action was brought to the Constitutional Court. All these actions are due to the fact that one of the requirements of the IMF is to permit the sale of agricultural land at the legislative level. In particular, the law on the turnover of agricultural land should have been adopted as early as December 2016.
