INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS OF LEGISLATIVE REGULATION OF NANOTECHNOLOGIES: LEGAL ASPECT

Intensive development of nanotechnologies in the modern world is due to the possibility of obtaining significant effects and results in the long run without the extraordinary cost of natural resources and the great potential for impact on the economic system of society. Intensification of development and implementation of the state policy of accelerated nanoindustrialization of economy in many countries based on large-scale financing of initiatives, strategies, various target programs of creation of the national nanoindustry became reflection of fierce competition for supremacy in this sphere at the international level. The development of nanotechnologies creates preconditions for strengthening competitive positions, ensuring innovative modernization and national security of Ukraine, increasing the rate of economic growth. As of today, the attention of scientists to the development and dissemination of nanotechnology, the formation of the nanoindustry, the formation and expansion of the world market for products manufactured in this field is gradually increasing in Ukraine. Nevertheless, the legal aspects of the formation of nanotechnology in Ukraine, the formation of prospects for the development of approaches to public administration and the functioning of a special system of public authorities remain completely unexplored. There are isolated scientific developments of O. Pecherskyi, O. Synieokyi, Ya. Tryneva. This creates a situation when one of the most important areas of development of the modern world is outside the scope of legislative regulation and state control. In addition to the lack of a proper theoretical basis for the development of nanoindustries, it is noted that there is no special law in this area in Ukraine. Taking into account the whole system of sources of domestic law, the legislative act of 2009 “The Concept of the State Targeted Scientific and Technical Program “Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials” for 2010-2014, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated April 2, 2009 № 331-p. remains adopted and valid. In this scientific article, the authors analyse global trends in nanotechnology, their legislative consolidation and government regulation, outline the main shortcomings of the domestic regulatory framework and identify prospects and vectors for the development of the field
