Recommendations for improving the legal framework for the protection of species and habitats: procedures for drawing up an expert opinion

Summary/Abstract: In order for an institution to issue an administrative act on the formation of a micro-reserve or on recognition of a biologically valuable grasslands or to develop a nature conservation plan, the administrative authority must obtain the opinion of an expert certified in the field of protection of species and habitats. Seemingly, such a framework eliminates trends in usurpation and avoids taking a decision that could cause damage to the environment, but the analysis of the actual and legal circumstances may lead to a completely different conclusion.The work analyses the competence and quality issues of the relevant authorities, which the legislator has not anticipated or excluded. Article 61 of the Law on the Protection of Species and Habitats is examined within legal and democratic national frameworks and a proposal to improve the legal framework are presented.
