Abstract
The article substantiates the possibility and expediency to carry out comparative and legal analysis of the experience to regulate relationships connected with gifts reception by public servants. In particular, it analyses the experience to manage conduct rules of public servants with gifts in Ukraine as well as in countries with a “high level” of negative perception of corruption, among which are Georgia, Singapore and Brazil. First of all, the author focuses on the specific character of the normative definition of a gift, the conduct with which regulates the action of public servants. The author provides the specifics of regulation of this issue in the legislation of each country, the experience of which is subjected to the comparison. It confirms that significant differences are typical for the Georgian variant for gift’s definition, which combines the enumeration of gift’s forms of expression, its characteristics, and also determines what thing is not a gift in relations of the public service. The article substantiates the expediency to borrow Georgian experience relatively the normative definition of the gift to regulate “gift relations with the participation of public servants”. The author focuses on the regulation of rules of conduct with gifts, not only towards public servants, but also their family members. It contributes to the strengthening of control over the gifts use in the public service relations, elimination of preconditions for gift identification with a means of effect on the “purity” of official professional activity of a person. It is proposed to borrow the experience to regulate rules of conduct with gifts, their application both to public servants and their family members for Ukraine. Detailed analysis of the action plan for public servants with regard to gifts in the legislation of the abovementioned countries allowed formulating the conclusion of relatively general approach of the Ukrainian legislator to this issue. Consequently, there is overload of the legislation with hypotheses, evaluative notions, “grey zones”, contradictions. The author of the article substantiates the expediency to borrow the experience of Georgia, Singapore and Brazil for Ukraine to adjust the rules of conduct with gifts in the part of regulation of response protocol, elimination of any hypotheses, determination of variety of actual grounds for the emergence of “gift relations with the participation of public servants”, the possibility of repurchase of a gift by a public servant to whom it is provided, in compliance with the established procedure, the settlement of further fate of the “forced” gift, the obligatory declaration of all received gifts during the reporting year as by public servants as by their family members.
