According to government estimates, this sphere in Ukraine was the most corrupt.

Over the past two years, more than 50 employees of the State Geodetic Academy. They illegally rented about 300 thousand hectares of land. To stop arbitrariness, the government changed the principle of the work of officials. Previously, land could be leased for 49 years, now - only seven.

"The first and most important condition is the transfer of land for rent solely through an auction. Second condition - the land returned from the lease must be transferred to the next lease through an auction. We stop the scheme when the land returned to rent, then divided into two hectares for free, and generally left state property. We also establish that the rent should only be short-term on public land.

This is the minimum possible by the legislation term - seven years, no more, "said Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Maxim Martynyuk.

The innovation will bring to the local budgets an additional billions of hryvnia, believe in the Cabinet. In the future, the government plans to launch an electronic auction system, and within the framework of decentralization, the right to dispose of state lands will be transferred to territorial communities.
