Hello.
I propose to simplify the procedure for the sale of agricultural land and the municipality's pre-emption right. If the owner wishes to sell agricultural land, he must submit an Offer for Sale to the Administrative Unit in the area where the agricultural land is located, to publish it on its web portal and to post it on the notice board.
The Administrative Unit shall immediately forward the offer to the Municipality and the local office or information office to post it on the notice board. Article 20(3) of the ZKZ: 'The administrative unit in whose area the agricultural land, forest or farm is located shall immediately publish the offer referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article on the notice board and on the unified national portal of E-Government. The administrative unit shall immediately send this offer to the municipality and the local office or information office for publication on the notice board. The deadline for acceptance of the offer shall be 30 days from the date on which the offer is published on the notice board of the administrative unit.'. This means that the municipality, which has the pre-emptive right on the property, is already aware of the sale and can forward to the UE the Acceptance of the offer and exercise the pre-emptive right.
In practice, however, this is not the case. The municipality ignores such announcements and only exercises the pre-emption right when the buyer wants to obtain the UE's approval of the transaction. Therefore, when the sale to the pre-emption beneficiary of the ZKZ is pending. The amendment should apply to all published Offers received by the Municipality. So also for the sale of agricultural land that is partly built-up or a set of combined (building/agricultural) plots.
I suggest that it should be explicitly stated in the CLA that the Municipality is aware of the sale at the moment when it receives an Offer for Sale from the UE, which must be published on the municipal notice board. This will simplify and shorten the sale procedure, as the Municipality can already exercise its pre-emptive right at the time of the publication of the Offer, if it so wishes. If the Municipality, as the buyer, does not forward the Acceptance of the Offer to the UE, it means that it does not exercise its pre-emption right.
