Summary
In context of the ongoing transformation process in Ukraine a legal instrument on long-term regulation of land tenure rights was legally established. Therewith the government came back to a type of lease right, whose origin is to allocate to the Roman law, but which has been already abolished within the west-European countries more than hundred years ago. The land political background of that Ukrainian decision is described. The rational of leasehold (emphyteusis) within the actual land political legal framework as well the structural circumstances of agriculture is analysed.
