The article is devoted to the analysis of problematic aspects of the migration policy of the European Union. The author describes this problem using the example of separate country, namely Germany. Germany is one of the most attractive countries for refugees, because of its high standard of living, social insurance system and multiculturalism policy. The author claims that Germany accepted the largest number of refugees among all other EU countries, which led to internal conflicts and necessity for reforming migration policy. The ineffectiveness of the Dublin system, the disagreement between Member States about division of migrants, the dissatisfaction of the population with government and, as a consequence, the rise in popularity of far-right sentiment in Europe, were the main reasons for changing the EU's approach to refugee policy and reforming the entire migration system. From 2015 to 2018, there were attempts by EU Member States to come up with a joint action plan to overcome the negative effects of the migration crisis. The author emphasizes two stages in the reforming of the system. First stage was lasting from April to October 2015 and was connected with first attempts of reforming. It was proposed to introduce a quota system, but not all states agreed with it. Also at the Valletta Migration Summit EU and African leaders signed an agreement on joint migration action, as well as in the framework of the EU-Turkey Action Plan aimed at halting the migration flow to Europe and combating illegal migration. The author says that EU actions within this period can be characterized as responding to current problems and finding possible ways and strategies for solution of the migration crisis. On the second stage decisions were made not so much with the aim of solving current problems, but with the aim of creating a more efficient system of migration legislation on the European level as a whole. During this period EU concluded agreement with Turkey on measures of illegal migrants. In conclusion the author says that ...

It is revealed that there is no definition of a state agricultural policy that reflects its European integration orientation. It is proved that since the signing of the Association Agreement, the process of European integration for Ukraine has become a priority. It was stated that the state agricultural policy should be based on the introduction of a set of legal, organizational and economic measures aimed at the implementation of the Association Agreement in the field of agriculture and rural development. A detailed analysis of the legislation defining the state agrarian policy in the context of European integration has been carried out. The conclusions were drawn about: a large number of legal acts, which are exclusively declarative, since there are no mechanisms for their implementation; lack of a single legal act that would determine the strategic goals of the state agricultural policy, both in the field of agricultural production and social development of the village; lack of a systematic approach, and the adoption of regulations is aimed solely at solving current problems. It is stated that the main priority of the state agricultural policy should be the concept of sustainable rural development, which envisages integrated development of economic, social and environmental spheres of the village, which must be in interaction and interconnection in order for the use of natural resources of rural territories to meet the needs of the present generation. and was done without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is proposed to develop the Fundamentals of The State Agrarian Policy in the form of a Law that would provide a set of legal, organizational and economic measures aimed at implementing the Association Agreement in the field of agriculture and rural development. It is pointed out that the structure of this normative act should reflect the strategic priorities of the state, among which the priority should be: measures aimed at ensuring food security; development of ...
