The author emphasizes that the understanding of the effectiveness of administrative and legal support for the provision of electronic trust services in Ukraine formulated within this study does not claim a complete break with the existing doctrinal approaches developed in contemporary administrative law scholarship. On the contrary, it is based on the scientific contributions of administrative law scholars who consistently substantiate the need to assess the effectiveness of administrative and legal phenomena through the prism of their legal validity, goal orientation, and the results of legal influence. At the same time, the criteria of effectiveness proposed below do not constituteе a mechanical transfer of previously developed models, but rather represent the result of a synthesis of scholarly approaches of individual legal researchers, adjusted with due regard to the specific nature of electronic trust services and their role within the mechanism for ensuring the legal significance of electronic interaction.
The effectiveness of administrative and legal support for the provision of electronic trust services is defined as an integrative property of the system of normative, institutional, and procedural mechanisms of public administration, determined by the norms of administrative law, which manifests itself in their ability to ensure the stable, predictable, and lawful functioning of electronic trust services, aimed at the realization and proper protection of the rights and legitimate interests of private individuals in the digital public environment.
The criteria for assessing the effectiveness of administrative and legal support for the provision of electronic trust services are defined as follows: normative and legal certainty and the quality of administrative and legal regulation in the field of electronic trust services; institutional capacity of the system of public administration bodies to exercise the relevant powers; goal-oriented conformity of administrative and legal support with public tasks and the functional purpose of electronic trust services; legal effectiveness of administrative and legal mechanisms, manifested in the stability and predictability of the legal consequences of their application; and the social and legal dimension of legitimacy as a generalized indicator of the quality of administrative and legal influence.
