Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paper is to analyse the provisions of the Act of 7th June 2001 on the Collective Water Supply and Collective Waste Water Disposal to the extent that they provide the regulatory body with the power to approve a tariff for collective water supply and collective waste water disposal. The authors show that the approval of tariffs by the regulatory authority does not constitute an act of supervision over local self-government within the meaning of Article 171 of the Constitution, and therefore this provision of the Constitution cannot constitute an adequate basis for the constitutional review of the provisions under analysis.
