DETERMINING THE FRAMEWORK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEGAL REPORTING THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE REGULATORY TOOLKIT USED IN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

In the situation where the environmental issue is becoming an increasingly addressed issue, and the legislator in various legislative acts imposes new and new regulations with a nature of environmental protection, it becomes difficult to identify whether, being incorporated in the text of a certain law, a certain legal norm, belongs to environmental law or is a norm that belongs to the field which in substance represents the regulatory object of this law. It is often quite complicated to identify the boundary of environmental law regulations, especially since the norms of this branch are not always compactly found in environmental legislative acts.It must be recognized that the legal mechanisms for environmental protection change their appearance over time, becoming much more aggressive and relentless. They are often applied without taking into account certain traditional rules and presumptions that often do not ensure effective protection of the environment. In such cases, it is necessary to understand that the regulatory mechanisms for environmental protection are a component of environmental law, even if they are based in other legislative acts and even if they are very similar to the mechanisms used in the regulation of other categories of legal relations.
