FOREIGN EXPERIENCE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN THE FIELD OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Abstract

The scientific article is devoted to the coverage of foreign experience in the implementation of administrative procedures in the field of environmental protection and natural resources. It is established that in the United States of America, the state structure responsible for the collection, treatment, verification, synthesis, provision of environmental information on the state of water use is the US Geological Survey. Permits for the use of water resources are also issued by this service. At the same time, in the United States, the role of state regulation of water relations is extremely minimized. The principle is established that the owner of the land plot should use underground water resources at his own discretion, and the priority of the use of coastal zones by the owners of the adjacent land plots also applies. The opposite is the experience of legal regulation of water use in the Federal Republic of Germany. In Germany, all types of water resources, including groundwater, are owned by the state, and their transfer to private ownership is unacceptable. Water use is allowed only on the basis of special permits, which are issued not from the point of view of economic considerations, but on the basis of the principle of social priorities. It is concluded that on the example of some foreign countries it is possible to see that cadastral registration systems function reliably both in cases of their maintenance by one specific state body, and in cases of joint management by several bodies within their competence. Thus efficiency of functioning of various systems depends exclusively on the legal mechanism defined by the state. This requires focusing the efforts of public authorities on building a full-fledged regulatory framework for the final implementation of an effective registration system.
