The main dimensions of parliamentary reform in the context of the European integration of Ukraine

The approach of the third stage of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union — the start of membership negotiations — requires many Ukrainian institutions to make signifi cant eff orts to adapt the rules and forms of activity to the practice of the community. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has a double burden: 1) adoption of the relevant European integration legislation for the reform of areas singled out by the European Commission; 2) completion of the reform of the parliament. The article provides a comprehensive description of the international and national dimensions of the parliamentary reform in Ukraine. Political, legal, teleological, coordination, chronological and monitoring dimensions are defi ned within the national dimension. It was noted that such indicators as the adoption of certain political documents and legal acts are not suffi cient indicators of the success of the reform. Especially, taking into account the fact that there are many examples in Ukraine when the law is not followed. Eliminating the phenomenon of «imaginary constitutionalism» and establishing a legal democracy still require systematic work on the part of both public authorities and citizens. It was concluded that for the negotiations on the accession of Ukraine to the European Union, it is necessary to know the praxeological dimension of the parliamentary reform, which is oriented towards the analysis of the activities of the deputies from the point of view of effi ciency, that is, establishing the ratio of the fi nal results of the reform and the defi ned initial goals, with an assessment of the means and methods used for their achievements. Thus, not only the organizational component of the parliamentary reform, but also the reform evaluation methodology needs improvement. Sociological surveys of representatives of public authorities and citizens should become an important element of monitoring the implementation of the parliamentary reform, and one of the indicators of this reform is the level of trust in the Ukrainian parliament.

Key words: Mission of the European Parliament, Ukrainian Parliament, parliamentary reform, dimensions of the reform, monitoring of the reform, indicators of the reform.
