EU-LEAP Think Tank
Annual Report for 2025
For the EU-LEAP public organization, 2025 was a year of institutional development and transition to systematic activity as a think tank. During the reporting period, the organization focused on preparing analytical materials, developing reform concepts, and providing expert and analytical support for the formation and implementation of public policy in the field of public administration and regulation.
The key focus of EU-LEAP's activities in 2025 was public asset management as a comprehensive policy covering the corporatization and corporate governance of state and municipal enterprises, the privatization of state and municipal property, the updating of legislation on property valuation, the management of non-performing loans (NPLs) of state-owned banks, the sale of seized property in enforcement proceedings, the legal regime for the use of land for construction, the development of municipal bonds, the regulation of local space (placement of temporary structures for economic activities), and the creation of transparent instruments for accounting and control of public assets.
Analysis of the problem of selling seized property in enforcement proceedings and development of the most optimal solution
The analysis was prepared by the public organization EU-LEAP as part of the development of proposals submitted to the National Agency for Corruption Prevention for consideration during the preparation of the draft Anti-Corruption Strategy and the draft State Anti-Corruption Program for 2026-2030.
The sale of seized property is a key tool for enforcing court decisions and returning assets to the state, but the sector remains vulnerable to corruption risks due to opacity, limited competition, and unclear division of powers between central government bodies. The lack of uniform auction standards, duplication of functions, weak oversight, and legislative restrictions lead to abuse, budget losses, and undermining of trust.
Despite the availability of effective electronic solutions, competition and transparency in this area are still not ensured, which necessitates institutional reform.
Analytical note on assessing Ukraine's progress in meeting EU requirements based on cluster analysis (based on the European Commission's report “COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT Ukraine 2025 Report”)
On November 4, 2025, the European Commission published its annual Ukraine 2025 Report, which contains a comprehensive assessment of Ukraine's progress in meeting the criteria for EU membership and the degree of approximation of its legislation to the acquis. The document covers all six reform clusters, analyzing the state of political, economic, and sectoral changes in the context of the ongoing war.
EU-LEAP analyzed the key conclusions and recommendations of the European Commission. The document outlines areas where Ukraine has made significant progress, particularly in macroeconomic stability, digitalization, customs reform, modernization of the financial control system, and development of sectoral policies. At the same time, a number of areas — judicial reform, anti-corruption policy, market surveillance, food safety standards, social policy, environmental regulation, and public procurement — require much faster progress and institutional strengthening.
The NGO “Community of Registrars” prepared training materials as part of the webinar “Features of regulating the activities of municipal enterprises in communities during the implementation of the provisions of Law of Ukraine No. 4196-IX of January 9, 2025” on issues of state registration of legal entities and state registration of real rights to immovable property after the Economic Code of Ukraine ceased to be in force, which was organized with the assistance of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development, with the participation of the NGO “EU-LEAP,” the Association of Ukrainian Cities, the NGO “Club of Mayors,” and JSC “Prozorro.Sales.”
