The Verkhovna Rada registered the draft law No. 8121 "On Amendments to the Land Code of Ukraine and some other legislative acts to counter raid", designed to minimize agrarian and land raids.

After the presidential draft law No. 7363 was voted down in the Rada, which contained a number of anti-raider norms, the deputies began to look for other legislative ways to solve the problem of agrarian and land raiding. The document is registered on the site of the Rada. It was signed by representatives of almost all factions and groups of the Verkhovna Rada (32 people's deputies in total).

The bill proposes the following innovations:

- Automation of interaction between the State Land Cadastre and the State Register of Rights to Real Estate to prevent double registration of land lease agreements;

- Counteraction to forgery of documents submitted for registration, by providing the owner of a land plot and a member of the economic company with the opportunity to sign a document from the notary in which any actions to manage this object, then the land plot, or shares in the authorized capital, are performed under notarial contracts a kind of seizure of property on the initiative of the owner);

- The digitization of all information available in the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre about previously issued state acts and registered lease agreements and the introduction of this information in the cadastre (we have a huge number of land rights registered in paper form before 2004, and this information is not available electronically);

- Entering information into the cadastre can be carried out online, through electronic document management;

- Provision of the possibility to obtain any information from the State Land Cadastre in electronic form;

- Change in the procedure for renewal of contracts: lease agreements will be of two types - with and without prolongation;

- An increase in the guarantee premium for land traders from 5% to 50% of the annual rent and a ban on decreasing the rent established by the results of the auction after the conclusion of the lease agreement. This will make it impossible for the bidders to actually disrupt the auction, first offering an obviously overvalued rent, and then refusing to sign the contract.
