Draft Law “On property titles, property scandal deepens
Productive Activities Parliamentary Commission approved a few days ago between the numerous debates draft law “On the verification of property titles divided by Law 7501.” This bill establishes legal rights beyond its title. Specialists and former owners have described as a bill that sets a double standard on how to acquire a title of ownership of agricultural land. The purpose of this bill, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, is the verification of property titles that are divided according to Law 7501. Up to this point the bill has nothing unusual. Controversial elements of his coming down when the bill states that families have more land than belonged to the Law 7501 and if that piece of land to spare no claims by other owners, the land would unjustly legitimized. This part of the bill is considered by members of the majority as a law that legalizes the property thieves. This standard was not accepted by former owners. However, the bill defines another way in which title is obtained, which is completely opposite from the first. The draft says that “households or persons who actually use agricultural land and use it within the limits claimed by them as the property of parakolektivizimit and have refused to obtain the act of obtaining land ownership, may require documentation legal ownership under the procedures set forth in Law no. 9235, dated 29.7.2004, “On restitution and compensation of property”, as amended. In short, any former owner who has allowed his land to be shared with Law 7501, can be legitimized by Property Agency. This legal argument is inconsistent with the law in force 7501. Furthermore, the above bill is exempt from these standards in the coastal lands by establishing a standard triple against the first two. By the multitude of changes in the parliamentary commission, Ministry of Agriculture has submitted and a further change, which states that any surface soil confirmed that recognition of ownership, will be recognized and the right to physical compensation for the expropriated subjects agency of property restitution and compensation and its regional offices. The draft law would establish a whole structure with local committees, which control agricultural lands.
The creation of property titles
This bill aims to establish criteria for legal validity of titles of ownership on agricultural land and structures, in charge of examining the legal validity of property titles creation on agricultural land. The draft law has determined the manner of gaining ownership of land. Under the bill, have legal validity of private ownership titles over land surfaces, which have figured 1.8.1991 cadastral records, in the “agricultural land” and are included in the territories administered by the former agricultural cooperatives at the time of entry into force of Law no. 7501, dated 19.7.1991, “On earth, as amended. At the same time acquired title to those other area of agricultural land, managed by former agricultural enterprises and other state institutions, the past to divide the villages of the former agricultural cooperatives only with the approval of the Minister of Agriculture, by the time the entry into force of Law no. 8337, dated 30.4.1998, “For over owned agricultural land, forests, meadows and pastures.” The third item that grants a title is for those agricultural area of the former NB’s, according to the provisions in Law no. 8053, dated 21.12.1995, “On the transfer in ownership, without compensation, agricultural land.” Another point of contention and is seen as a double standard is three points of this draft, which stipulates that households or individuals who actually use agricultural land and use it within the limits claimed by them as the property of parakolektivizimit and that have not be equipped with the act of obtaining land ownership, may require legal documentation of ownership, according to the procedures set forth in Law 9235, dated 29.7.2004, “On restitution and compensation of property”, as amended. Under the bill, can not be applied to obtain ownership documentation when claiming land surface has been given previously owned by other persons under the provisions of Law 7501, dated 19.7.1991, “On land “, as amended, and the Law nr.8053, dated 21.12.1995,” On the transfer in ownership, without compensation, agricultural land. “
Non-recognition of property titles
The draft law has also defined a basis that does not recognize the titles of ownership. Under its provisions, are not subject to the issuance of land ownership and property titles creation of all other surfaces, since 1.8.1991 have not figured in the cadastral register in the “agricultural land” as forests, meadows, pastures , forest land and other area non-agricultural land, despite the adoption of the amendments and the passage of these items in farmland, after this date. The draft was approved by the commission and is expected to pass the parliamentary session for approval.
