This paper delves into the intricate intersection of the phenomenon of regulatory sandboxes and public law and focuses on the issue of legislative empowerment for the establishment of a regulatory sandbox. Based on the example of the Czech Republic, which lacks a fully operational regulatory sandbox, the study investigates the legislative prerequisites for initiating such a framework. Using the qualitative doctrinal research, the authors examine diverse conceptual frameworks, aiming to identify the optimal legislative approach for implementing and sustaining a regulatory sandbox. Notably, the study scrutinizes the viability of constructing a regulatory sandbox under general administrative empowerment clauses within the Czech legal context, considering the principles of legality and intra vires doctrine inherent in continental administrative law. The research contributes insights to the ongoing discourse on regulatory sandboxes, providing a nuanced understanding of the legislative prerequisites for their operation, with a focus on the specific challenges and opportunities within the Czech regulatory landscape.

Open data allows new experiments in administration, both in terms of activities and organisation. In terms of composite procedures, open data can serve many public interests in new ways, leading to faster and more accurate decision-making (already at the preparatory level), while it remains difficult to ensure effective judicial protection for individuals in shared administration between the EU and the Member States. In this context, procedural guarantees at the decision-making stage should not be neglected, even more if we consider the EU public administration as a platform, offering data as services, exchanging information and data, cooperating, and competing with public and private actors. Relying on the power of data, however, requires resilient rules, based on EU principles as to assure the rule of law, and able to cope with the challenges of the digital transition, as to ensure the “effectiveness” of administrative activities implementing EU law in each Member State.

The climate crisis is one of the most serious problems that humankind has ever faced. With the adverse consequences of this phenomenon, new practices have emerged in social, economic, and legal structures. One of these new practices is doubtlessly climate litigation that aim to pressure states to fulfil their positive obligations concerning the mitigation of the human-induced climate crisis. Global warming, advancing at an unprecedented rate, is pushing governments to take immediate measures and shape their legislation accordingly. Within this movement, the principle of non-regression, rooted in human rights, has gained a tangible form in environmental law. This study explores the potential role of the climate crisis and, specifically, the climate litigation cases in Europe in establishing the principle of non-regression as a settled principle in environmental law. It discusses its value as an argument in climate litigation from a practical point of view.

This paper examines how objectives of the European Union in the field of climate change affect the legal regulation of products and what impacts they also have on some connected issues. The current ecodesign legal regulation is based on the Ecodesign Directive and the particular requirements on products are then set in regulations following the Ecodesign Directive. The paper primarily focuses on the changes in ecodesign product regulation brought by the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation proposal. The issue of the proposed legal regulation connected with environmental claims is also addressed in the text as it is an important complement to the sustainable products legal regulation.

The article focuses on the implementation of landscaping as a purposeful activity of humans with the aim of creating and cultivating the environment around them. Landscaping is not only made up of activities with an impact on the immediate surroundings of a human, but also has a deeper social meaning – it affects the environment as a whole. However, it also has a significant impact on climate protection. Actions taken with the intention of protecting and improving the landscape that immediately borders the built-up area of municipalities in which humans reside can have a wider impact indirectly, but even directly, influence the climate. Although landscaping represents a separate and distinct professional activity, in the case of the Slovak Republic it is not a separate decision-making process in the field of public administration. However, its elements are present in other decision-making processes, such as land development or spatial planning. The ever-increasing voices after its codification point to the importance of this activity and the need to give it a clear legal framework, with the definition of the public interest and the goals that should be achieved during this activity. We believe that climate protection could and clearly should be among these objectives, as the measures taken in landscape design can have a direct effect on it. The article therefore focuses on the issue of landscaping and its legal definition, and also deals with whether landscaping represents an important means of climate protection. Furthermore, the article points out the individual possibilities of landscape design measures within the decision-making processes of public administration in the Slovak Republic. In the end, he brings some considerations de lege ferenda.

The following paper is the second part of an article dealing with the mining accident that took place in 2000 in the Romanian town of Baia Mare, which has been described as one of the worst environmental disasters since the Chernobyl accident. The first part focused on the circumstances of the accident, its consequences, and an analysis of the international legal framework in force at the time of the incident. The authors also describe the changes in international law adopted in response to the accident in Baia Mare and analyse the relevant case-law of the ECtHR related to the Baia Mare accident, Tǎtar v. Romania case. In the second part of the article, the authors discuss the response to the accident at the level of the European Union and the key changes in EU legislation adopted as a result of the accident. The article also points to changes made in national law in the Czech Republic, which directly or indirectly responded to the accident in Baia Mare. In conclusion, the authors relate this mine accident to the accident on the Bečva River that occurred in 2020.
下文是文章的第二部分,涉及 2000 年在罗马尼亚 Baia Mare 镇发生的采矿事故,该事故被称为切尔诺贝利事故以来最严重的环境灾难之一。第一部分重点介绍了事故的情况、后果以及对事故发生时有效的国际法律框架的分析。作者还介绍了针对 Baia Mare 事故所采取的国际法变革,并分析了欧洲人权法院与 Baia Mare 事故有关的相关判例法--Tǎtar 诉罗马尼亚案。在文章的第二部分,作者讨论了欧盟层面对该事故的反应,以及因该事故而通过的欧盟立法的主要变化。文章还指出了捷克共和国对国家法律所做的修改,这些修改直接或间接地回应了 Baia Mare 事故。最后,作者将此次矿难与 2020 年发生在贝奇瓦河上的事故联系起来。

The use of renewable energy is one of the priorities of common EU policies to achieve carbon neutrality and mitigate the effects of climate change. On the other hand, the protection of biodiversity, which also contributes to climate protection and is even a much older priority, is also one of the EU’s long-term priorities. In this article, the author analyses the current European and Czech climate legislation. He concludes that the analysis of the legislation shows that renewable energy production and biodiversity protection must be considered together in terms of planning, decision-making and enforcement. Climate protection can only be achieved if, in the future, the replacement of fossil energy sources is not unilaterally promoted in energy reform at the expense of biodiversity and the functioning of natural ecosystems. The question is, however, whether the Czech Republic is serious about measures towards carbon neutrality and energy security when it is still buying oil, natural gas and other strategic minerals from Russia two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.

It is generally accepted that law consists of two main domains – private and public. At the same time, there is clear scepticism about the sharp separability of these domains. The problém of distinguishing private and public law is undoubtedly also a problem of public administration and its implementation as it is possible that the public purpose will also be fulfilled by private law norms. In addition, there may be legal institutes that combine more or less the norms of public and private law, for which the designation of hybrid legal institutes seems appropriate. However, such institutes may present some difficulties associated with legal dualism. The aim of this two-part paper (within its limited scope) is to provide a basic introduction to the issue of socalled hybrid legal institutes. In the first part of the paper, besides some general background, the text presents a triad of such institutes that are applied in the context of public administration and for which some debate over their legal nature could be observed in the domestic literature. In the second part (which will be published in a future issue of the journal), the text attempts to answer the research question of how to deal with these institutes, or rather considers some basic criteria for distinguishing private and public law in the context of public administration regulation.

Climate change is now considered one of the greatest global challenges facing the world community. Climate change, or rather global warming, which is its main accelerator, is responsible for many of the negative impacts that people in different parts of the world are facing today. The world community is responding to climate change and setting clear targets to be achieved so that global warming begins to slow down and then returns to its natural equilibrium. However, this goal will not be achieved immediately, and certain parts of the world are already experiencing significant negative impacts that are affecting their human rights and fundamental freedoms. The question of responsibility, i.e., who is responsible for causing these negative impacts and who is responsible for addressing them, is still not closed. The so-called climate litigation, which has been spreading around the world since the middle of the last decade, could help to clarify it. Recently, human rights arguments have been emphasised in this litigation, and there is great potential that in the near future judicial and other decisions will eventually force states to act more effectively, especially on their international obligations and the potential liability consequences of non-compliance.
