GOVERNANCE ASPECTS For the last 15 years the conceptual framework for Czech environmental protection was based on five environmental policies adopted by the Government in 1990, 1995, 1999, 2001 and 2004. As the environmental situation improved, the emphasis shifted from the protection of human health to nature conservation and biological diversity. The latest policy mirrors the Sixth Environment Action Programme of the European Community 2002-2012.
2.1.WATER INSTITUTIONS Public administration of environmental affairs is shared by the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of the Interior. The Ministry of the Environment (MoE) was established on 1 January, 1990 by Act No. 173/1989 Coll. to function as the central state administrative authority and supreme inspection authority in environmental affairs. The Ministry of the Environment is supported by several subordinate organizations in charge of environmental monitoring and research – for instance, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, the Czech Environmental Information Agency CENIA and the Water Research Institute TGM. However, the Ministry of Agriculture is the central authority for the administration of agriculture, water management, the preservation of water sources and water quality, and the management of the food industry. It is also the central state authority responsible for administering forestry, hunting and fisheries outside of national parks. The Ministry of Agriculture administers the Czech Agricultural and Food Inspection Board, the State Veterinary Administration, the Central Institute for Supervision and Testing in Agriculture, and other organizations.
2.2.WATER MANAGEMENT Since the ‘Velvet Revolution’ of November 1989, environmental protection has become a recognized priority in society. During the period 1989-92, new regulations were passed and institutions set up to support environmental protection. The first wave of environmental legislation contained a number of short-term objectives to improve the environmental conditions in the country. The second generation of regulations was adopted after 1998 to bring legislation into line with the EU.
