The Committee on State Building, Regional Policy and Local Self-Government recommended that the Verkhovna Rada adopt the draft law "On the Procedure for the Establishment, Elimination of Rayons, Establishment and Modification of their Boundaries" (No 6636). The mentioned draft law is necessary for the formation of an effective rayon level of the administrative-territorial set-up.

As itis known, rayon represents the common interests of local councils that are part of it. But in the course of decentralisation and as a result of hromadas’ amalgamation the grounds for joint representation of the interests of local councils have disappeared in many rayons, since powers are transferred to the executive bodies of the amalgamated hromadas that occupy most of the rayon's territory. Therefore, due to the lack of authority of rayon councils and administrations, the organisation of power at rayon level becomes ineffective in many cases.

Draft law No 6636 defines the grounds and the procedure for reforming new effective rayons.
