In the norm of Chapter Seven of the Law for protection of the agricultural lands, certain conditions are regulated, which lead to annulment of the decisions, referring to change of the purpose of the agricultural lands. However, in the texts representing the content of this chapter, some legal defects are found, creating complications in their application and corruption of the legal technology. For example, Article 34, paragraph 1 of the Agricultural Land Protection Act stipulates that the decision to approve a final site for site design loses its legal effect if after one year from the entry into force of the detailed development plan, the person concerned did not make a request to change the purpose of the land. It is not specified in this connection a specific term in which the interested person would receive the act for change of purpose in order to be able to carry out a real construction event.
In Article 35 of Chapter Seven of the Law for protection of the agricultural lands, one of the conditions for cancellation or change of the purpose of the land is the need for the land. Here again, there is no specific interpretation of this text, including the functions of the person concerned and the bodies carrying out the change of use. These and other defects of Chapter Seven of the Agricultural Land Protection Act are subject to consideration and analysis of the report.
