The coal mining and its influence on the environment from the legal point of view
Vacková, Zuzana ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Damohorský, Milan (referee)
ENGLISH SUMMARY Coal mining is an important activity which significantly contributes to the economy of the Czech Republic. Coal is currently still indispensable material for many industrial branches, but coal mining has serious and wide-ranging consequences for the environment. Coal mining influences negatively especially the appearance of landscape, the soil conditions and the water system in the affected area. It causes air pollution and it leads to the destruction of fauna and flora, too. Furthermore the problem is that coal is a non-renewable material, which will eventually be exhausted. Due to these negative impacts on environment and the importance of coal as the source of energy, the coal mining requires state regulation. Legislation regulation of mining activity in our country can be found in these three acts: The Mining Act No. 44/1988 Coll., The Act of Mining Activity No. 61/1988 Coll. and The Act of Geological Works No. 62/1988 Coll. These three acts are supplemented with number of subsidiary regulations. This thesis attempts to describe and analyze basic legal instruments of environmental protection, which are exercised in mining. The main sources for this thesis are the three above-mentioned Acts and Acts regulating particular elements of environment for example the Water Code, the Forest Code...

Krupičková, Andrea ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Damohorský, Milan (referee)
With the adoption of the Act on Promotion of Use of Renewable Energy Resources in 2005, the Czech Republic took a significant step forward to examine the economic field of energy in general in light of environmental and climate protection. With this act, the Czech Republic followed the example of other European Union member states in asserting the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and seeking alternative energy resources in the spirit of the Kyoto Protocol obligations. The goal of this Master's thesis is to present and logically analyze the relevant legal legislation concerning renewable resources passed in the Czech law. The emphasis of this analysis of the Act No. 180/2005 Sb. on the Promotion of the Use of Renewable Energy Resources in the context of energy law, whereby the attention is placed on promotion of energy production, those in the Czech Republic represent two alternative schemes: "feed-in tariff" and "green bonus certificates." With the broad definition of renewable energy resources in the introduction, this thesis comprises a basic overview of this comprehensive legal problem. This thesis consists of five separate chapters, which are closely related.

Legal regulation of the creation and protection of the Natura 2000 system
Fabiánová, Lucie ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)

The aim of my thesis is to provide analysis of legal sources relating to Natura 2000, both international and Czech and EU level. In this context, I have dealt with the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union from the year 2007 to 2010, which addressed the Natura 2000 and contributed to the interpretation of relevant provisions. Particular attention was devoted issue of public contracts covered by the Act No. 114/1992 Coll. on nature and landscape, as one of the ways the creation and protection of the Natura 2000system. The most important of the rules governing the European Union's law Natura 2000 are Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, which together with Council Directive 2009/147/EC on the conservation of wild birds are the cornerstones of conservation of the European Union. An important source for the interpretation of EU laws are judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Union. These judgments concerning Natura 2000 can be divided into two circles of problems. The first circle of problems is the misconduct in the creation of the protected area within the Natura 2000 and the second is the misconduct in the...
