Building up the European common values in professional training of future foreign language teachers

Ukraine is now on the threshold of entering the European Union which affects all the life spheres and education in particular. The article deals with the analysis of the European common values in terms of their introduction in the system of teacher training of Ukraine. The authors draw the attention to the issue of multilingualism which enhances learning foreign languages, helps to protect Europe’s rich linguistic diversity, and improves the competitiveness of the EU economy. As a result of the theoretical analysis authors come to the conclusion that building up the EU common values and incorporating them into the process of future foreign language teachers training is a life-long process that demands daily and persistent work as teachers should put much effort to organize the appropriate educational context and make a new generation of children raised in Ukraine not only feel European but act according to European values. The article also provides the results of the survey that on one hand show that future foreign language teachers are not aware enough of the European policy of multilingualism as well as European common values, on the other hand students realize the necessity of the integration of Ukraine into the European educational environment and importance of foreign language learning and teaching.

The concept of non-contractual obligations in inheritance law: international legal experience

The article is devoted to the study and analysis of such areas of civil law as non-contractual structures, within the inheritance law of individual European Union countries, the emergence, development and implementation of such structures in regulations governing the inheritance procedures of countries such as Poland, Czech Republic, Republic of Lithuania and the Republic of Latvia.

The types of non-contractual constructions, first of all their dialectical classification, architecture and place in the system of inheritance law are singled out and analyzed. An analysis of their identification and separation in different states, depending on the legal family, traces the integrity of the fundamental structure of knowledge about the obligatory rights of the testator within the will, heirs and beneficiaries in their biocentric expression and in the context of social ties.

Inheritance in the occupied territories and in the area of antiterrorism operation: the experience of Ukraine

The authors of this paper have covered the issues of the features of inheritance in the anti-terrorist operation zone and the occupied territories. The innovations that came into force in 2018 were taken into account. It is specified that the occupied territories in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions are recognized as parts of the territory of Ukraine, on which the armed formations of the Russian Federation and the occupation administration of the Russian Federation have established and exercise general control. Within the temporarily occupied territories, there is a special procedure for ensuring the rights and freedoms of the civilian population, determined by the legislation of Ukraine. Therefore, the procedure for registering inheritance is unchanged throughout Ukraine. The authors analyzed information on the procedure for obtaining inheritance under the law, by testament, and under an inheritance contract. Attention is focused on the fact that inheritance is a derivative way of the emergence of property rights, and universal legal succession – the transfer of the entire scope of rights, obligations, and items of property from the deceased to the heirs. Besides, timely and accurate fulfillment of their obligations allows formalizing the inheritance in time following the provisions of laws. Testamentary succession occurs if a deceased person drew up a testament before death, and the testament is valid. In its absence, inheritance occurs under the law. Hereditary succession takes place in the following cases: absence of the testament; invalidation of the testament; death of the heirs indicated in the testament before the opening of inheritance or their refusal to accept inheritance; the testator canceled a previously drawn up testament and did not leave a new one; the testament is judicially declared invalid; if the testament does not cover all the property belonging to the testator

Проблеми спадкування в зоні АТО та на окупованих територіях

У зв'язку із загостреною політичною ситуацією в зоні АТО оформити спадщину на непідконтрольній Україні території не те що клопітно, а просто неможливо. Це пов'язано з тим, що всі документи, видані органами влади невизнаних республік, не мають юридичної сили ні в Україні, ні у світі. Нотаріуси, які відіграють ключову роль у процедурі оформлення спадщини, здебільшого покинули зону АТО, а ті, які продовжують провадити діяльність, не мають доступу до державних реєстрів ще з червня 2014 року. Тому, ясна річ, ситуація вимагала врегулювання, що й було зроблено.Due to the aggravated political situation in the anti-terrorist operation zone, it is not difficult, but simply impossible to register a heritage in the territory not controlled by Ukraine. This is due to the fact that all documents issued by the authorities of unrecognized republics have no legal force in Ukraine or in the world. Notaries, who play a key role in the inheritance process, have mostly left the anti-terrorist operation zone, and those who continue to operate have not had access to state registers since June 2014. Therefore, of course, the situation required a settlement, which was done.Due to the aggravated political situation in the anti-terrorist operation zone, it is not difficult, but simply impossible to register a heritage in the territory not controlled by Ukraine.

European Inheritance Certificate

Today’s world, in the absence of borders, people are increasingly changing their place of residence, owning real estate, holding bank accounts and owning other property in different countries. This can not but have consequences in inheritance. This, in turn, can create some difficulties, cause disputes between the heirs and will undoubtedly affect the costs of registration of the inheritance. Another common problem is that a will made in one country may not have legal force in another country where it must be enforced. These and many other issues could not remain unresolved at the EU. A common approach to many inheritance issues has been found through the adoption of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council № 650/2012 of 4 July 2012 on jurisdiction, law enforcement, recognition and enforcement, adoption and enforcement of authentic instruments in matters of inheritance and the creation of a European Certificate of Inheritance. This provision came into force on August 17, 2015 and applies to cases of inheritance that occurred after that date. Inheritance cases are processed by one competent authority (court or other authority) in one state, and decisions taken in such cases are recognized in other EU member states without any special formalities. This should significantly improve and facilitate the inheritance procedure within the European Union, with the exception of Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom, which do not particpate in this regulation. We will consider these questions in our research
