PROBLEM ASPECTS OF THE OBJECTIVE SIDE OF INTENTIONAL INTRODUCTION INTO CIRCULATION (RELEASING ON THE MARKET OF UKRAINE) OF DANGEROUS PRODUCTS (ARTICLE 227 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF UKRAINE)

Abstract

The article analyzes the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 227 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Under the influence of European integration processes, new standards are being introduced in Ukraine, which are formed as a result of these processes, in particular, all manufacturers are required to put only safe products on the market. In addition, the circulation of food products or goods, the performance of works or the provision of services that do not meet the requirements established by legislation regarding safety for human life or health, property or the environment are prohibited. The introduction of products into circulation means the manufacture or import of products into the customs territory of Ukraine with their further sale in Ukraine, as well as the first paid or free supply of these products for distribution, consumption or use on the market of Ukraine. The term "release to the market" is not used in the regulatory legislation. The public danger of the intentional introduction into circulation (release to the market of Ukraine) of dangerous products in large quantities consists in the manufacture or import into Ukraine for distribution, consumption or use of products that do not meet the established safety requirements and, accordingly, are dangerous for a person, society and the state, if such actions are carried out on a large scale. The criminal offense provided for in Art. 227 of the Criminal Code, has a formal composition and is considered completed from the moment of introduction into circulation (release to the market of Ukraine) of dangerous products in large quantities, i.e. when the products were actually transferred to other business entities operating on the market of Ukraine, or directly to consumers (users).
