One of the primary measures implementing the Concept of administrative reform in Ukraine is a radical renovation of national administrative-delictual legislation and review of the conceptual foundations of responsibility for administrative offenses, which are the most widespread and common delicts. This problem involves the development of a wide range of legal, organizational, informational and other measures, but first of all fruitful scientific basis should be created. Without a thorough analysis, systematic approach and theoretical developments neither effective system of action nor reliable mechanism for their implementation can be developed. The aim of this article is to develop the scientific and theoretical grounds for the reforming of national administrative-delictual law and to create conceptual «outline» of the Code of Ukraine on administrative offenses. At present the legal and organizational principles of responsibility for administrative offenses are defined by the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences, which was adopted during the Soviet era – in 1984. This determines the existence of a wide range of issues concerning with outdated provisions of the Code and their inconsistency to new social realities. Regular updates of CUAO were unmatched and inconsistent, and therefore did not bring radical changes into the fight with administrative offences. Archaic concept and eclecticism of institute administrative offenses, «dispersion» of normative material, logical and legal errors in legal provisions, unsystematic legislative novels – all these problems, on the one hand, make a deep crisis of state regulation of administrative-delict relations, on the other – suggest the necessity of taking new Code of Administrative offenses as a fundamentally new act, based on the principles of legality and the rule of law, justice, humanity, responsibility and inevitability of «saving» repressive measures. Based on the achievements of national administrative law and positive foreign experience the author determines that the basis for reforming the administrative-delictual legislation (in particular, the adoption of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative offenses) should be based on the next ideas: the imposition of criminal offenses and civil delicts beyond administrative legal regulation; recognition as subjects of administrative offenses both indididuals and legal entities; the objective imputation; out of court solving of cases on administrative offenses; optimization of the system of administrative penalties; most complete codification of administrative legislation
