Administrative Approach

Abstract Τhe Kiev Civil Liability Protocol creates a strict liability regime which channels liability towards the operator, providing also that such liability shall be covered by compulsory insurance. The Protocol implements the “polluter-pays” principle and, unlike other similar regimes, it is neither exclusive nor self-contained, allowing in some instances for the application of other international instruments or of relevant rules of domestic law. It is argued that the Kiev Protocol can coexist with eu Directive 2004/35 on environmental liability, given that the latter opts for an administrative approach, and could even provide a mechanism for the recovery of costs incurred by the competent public authority in case of transboundary damage, thus facilitating the implementation of the Directive. It covers both economic and, to an extent, environmental damage and, if in force, will be an important tool in the hands of the victims of transboundary pollution.

The conditions of insurance of civil liability for causing damage as a result of an accident of a hydraulic structure, stipulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation on compulsory insurance of civil liability of the owner of a hazardous object, do not fully comply with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation on the safety of hydraulic structures. For example, the size of insurance sums is established regardless of the amount of financial security of civil liability, which the owner of a hydraulic structure or operating organization must have (the construction is in state ownership). Some insurance companies are taking steps to develop their own rules for assessing the risk of accidents and the size of the harm caused. It does not take into account the fact that such industry-specific methods for determining the amount of probable harm to hydraulic structures for various purposes exist and are used for a long time. This article discusses the implementation of the compulsory insurance procedure in relation to navigable hydraulic structures, which refer to the objects of state ownership. The results of the author’s comparative analysis of certain provisions of the legislation of the Russian Federation on the safety of hydraulic structures and compulsory insurance of civil liability of the owner of a hazardous object, as well as the data of operating organizations indicate the presence of a number of inconsistencies and the need for their settlement.
