The concept of the Register and its structure are revealed. Its deficiencies, which should be eliminated, are examined. The debatable issues related to the juridical (legal) content of the activities on putting and processing the relevant information into the Register are considered.
Besides, it is proposed to consider the above mentioned problems in two as-pects, which can be conditionally described as the technical and juridical (legal) one. The first is related to the definition of the concept of the Register, its structure and purpose, as well as the procedure (mechanism) of putting information into it and the list of the subjects, who have access to the Register, and their authorities. The second aspect is related to the definition of the grounds for making information to put into the Register in terms of the legality, sufficiency, reasonableness and completeness of the data. The above-mentioned approach will allow us to find out the problems of the comprehensive activities on putting information to the Register, which determines the beginning of the pre-trial investigation. The article also sug-gested possible ways of the solution of the problems.
Besides, the article presents proposals for drafting and adoption of the law of Ukraine «On the Single Register of pre-trial investigations», which would give the possibility to regulate legislatively those issues, which are related to the functioning of the Register and its content.
