| Abstract [eng] |
Forest is the specific subject of private property. Forest is an important constituent of the entire ecological system; its use fulfills not only personal interests of the forest owner, but also much wider interests of the society. Therefore forest use is strictly defined by forestry legislation, and private forest owners are given well-defined rights and obligations. In this work, theoretical and practical aspects of administrative, penal and civil law enforcement in terms of liability and reimbursement of environmental damages are analyzed. Law enforcement is the most efficient tool for preventing the illegal forestry. Competition between the administrative and penal law is analyzed, providing their delimiting attributes. Obviously, administrative and penal code in many cases provides too facile sanctions. Civil liability is the most commonly used instrument for against illegal forestry and environmental damages. The importance of liability and reimbursement of the environmental damages is underlined. Forestry legislation and governmental policy of European and third countries is briefly reviewed. |
