266 Protection of Invertebrates in the Legal Regulation of the European Union Abstract In recent years, studies on the population trends of insects and other invertebrates reported widespread declines most pronounced in intensely developed regions, such as Europe. The likely causes include various activities of the industrial society, including agriculture, urbanisation, forestry, and commercial fishing. Most of these activities are governed by, inter alia, legislation on the EU level. This thesis argues that even though there are no completely white spaces in the EU law and relevant legislation addresses most of the important areas of invertebrate conservation, the current legislation is not comprehensive and inclusive enough. The arguments for this conclusion are derived from the analysis of the current EU legislation in the face of the biological context of invertebrates. In Part I, the contextual framework for the analysis is built up by outlining the presented problem of declining invertebrate populations. A short introduction to the taxonomy and ecology of invertebrates is followed by a summary of the environmental threats they currently face. The threats are matched to the corresponding EU legislation, thereby laying out the structure of Part II. The second part includes chapters on the relevant...

Phytosanitary care as a part of environmental law consists of multiple actions and procedures which aim to guarantee plant health and favourable status of the environment. Mostly, we are talking about plant care related to various agricultural activities. It is necessary to achieve these objectives while keeping the crop yields and its quality on certain level. Regarding the above mentioned, it is desirable to keep looking for new technologies and options which are effective and ecological at the same time. Currently, the focus is on reduction of the chemical preparations use level which have an adverse effect on the environment including animals and plants exposed to their negative impact. As well as the impact on human health. To gather relevant information and data, long- term observations and measurements are crucial since the negative effects may occur long time after exposure to certain chemicals. Very important is also the role of research and analyses which determine subsequent procedures. Based on these inputs the important information may be spread via education and publishing means - this part is essential for enhancing and supporting general awareness of related topics. Public awareness is absolutely fundamental since phytosanitary issues are related to a great amount of people who can...

The status of international courts in the area of environmental protection is gaining importance as well as the entire branch of international enviromental law, which is also demonstrated by the creation of many treaties and increasing number of entities solving the international environmental disputes. The right to a favorable environment in addition begins to be understood as a human right, which can be claimed at the international level. The courts handle disputes through judgements, but they also provide advisory opinions, impose provisional measures or obligations to cooperate with the other party, they often help to define legal principles. They contribute to the legal certainity and because of the persuasiveness of thein arguments, their jurisprudence acts similar to precedent. Although their decisions are usually not enforceable, the courts have such authority, that their decisions are respected without exception. The activities of international courts are irreplaceable and contributes to the development of environmental law. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

OF THE DISSERTATION ON "PUBLIC INTEREST IN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW" Zdeněk Horáček, 2011 The dissertation examines public interest in environmental law. Due to the lack of professional resources dealing with the very concept of public interest, the dissertation offers its basic definition and relevant connections, but always in relation to the institutes of the environmental law. Interpretive and historical aspects of public interest are analyzed and basic definition features, classification and process of the formulation of public interest, including correction of the improper process, are established. The dissertation specifies public interest in environmental law as a legally defined value of environmental protection shared by whole society. Such a public interest is promoted in all the phases of evaluation and authorization of a project that may be harmful to the environment, in the extent always depending on the specific situation. The dissertation concludes that environmental protection is a worldwide shared value and public interest. In addition, public interest in environmental protection is a criterion for a decision making process carried out by public authorities, and the resulting public interest (adopted solution) depends on the specific circumstances of the situation.

Protection of the Earth's climate system from the legal point of view This thesis aims to provide a broad view of legal protection of the Earth's climate within its six chapters. The first three chapters explain drivers of climate change law. Protection of the climate system has stemmed not only from science, but also to a large extent from the political situation and the performance of the world economy. Therefore, after introduction the second chapter examines the scientific basis of climate change and its evolution in time. The third chapter outlines the history of international negotiations which led to the conclusion of the three most important international instruments regulating climate change - the Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, and the EU ETS Directive. The fourth chapter discusses economic approaches to internalization of global warming costs. The core of the thesis analyzes the legal framework addressing climate change. The analysis is devoted to the backbone of international instruments laid down in the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, and to one of the most significant regional instruments - European emission allowances trading. Therefore, the fourth chapter on the Framework Convention on Climate Change examines the Convention...
