A law that extends the moratorium on the sale of the farmland until 2012 has entered into force in Ukraine.
The law was published in the official newspaper of the parliament The Voice of Ukraine on Tuesday, thus becoming effective.
The law was signed by parliamentary speaker Vladimir Litvin soon after President Viktor Yushchenko returned this law to the parliament without his signature.
On January 19, the parliament overrode the president's veto on extension of the moratorium on the sale of the farmland.
