The paper examines the essence of legislative support and the main elements of the legal mechanism for environmental protection and environmental safety in the implementation of transport activities in the territory of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The author reflects the different approaches of the member States of the integration association to the regulation of this sphere and the general trends of legislation with a view to identifying legal instruments to reduce the harmful effects of transport on the environment. Purpose: to analyze the model legislation of the Commonwealth of Independent States governing environmental protection and ensuring environmental safety and the acts adopted in the member states of the Commonwealth, taking into account the negative impact of transport activities on environmental protection in the context of the development of integration processes. Methods: the author uses the methods of analysis, comparison, systematization, interpretation of legal norms, formal-logical and prognostic, etc. Results: the tasks of ensuring the environmental safety of transport activities are formulated, which make it possible to demonstrate the need for the establishment of legal regulatory instruments in this area and contributing to their identification. The author concludes that there is a need to develop special documents on cooperation in the environmental safety of the Commonwealth member states, which will make it possible to define general guidelines for the creation and implementation of legal instruments to reduce transport harmful effects on the environment. It is argued that there is a need to bring the legal provisions closer together and to deepen positions on legal support in the area under study, taking into account a number of tasks that lead to integrated approaches.

Throughout the period of the existence of the Commonwealth of Independent States, mechanisms were formed to determine the topical direc- tions of joint lawmaking, to jointly develop and implement legal norms, to work on the approximation of national legislations, etc. Already at an early stage of the functioning of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the cooperation of national prosecutor’s offices acquired special significance, as evidenced by the establishment of the Coordination Council of Prosecutor- Generals of Commonwealth Member States in 1995. The present article studies the basic aspects of the interaction between prosecutor’s offices in the Commonwealth of Independent States in the protection of the human and civil rights and free- doms. The article also looks at the dynamics of offending in Commonwealth countries and analyses the factors influencing it; it gives examples of reforms to criminal law and criminal procedure in some Commonwealth countries aimed at making the justice system more effective and protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. The author pays particular attention to the work of the Russian prosecution services, stressing that the experience of lawmaking and the law enforcement practices of the Russian Federation may be of use in the practical work of the general prosecutor’s offices of the post-Soviet countries that are members of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

State Registration

Industrial enterprises and other business entities whose activities involve direct or indirect impact on environmental components must comply with legal requirements in the field of environmental protection. Over the past 5 years, there have been significant changes in environmental legislation. All objects that have a negative impact on the environment are subject to state registration. When registering an enterprise, it is subject to assignment to one of four categories of objects of negative impact, depending on the industry affiliation, production capacity, chemical composition of emissions, discharges, and other criteria. Currently, legislative innovations are aimed at business development and reducing the administrative burden on business entities, but this creates a threat to the safe operation of industrial facilities. There are more than 340 thousand objects of negative impact on the territory of Russia, of which one third is subject to Federal supervision. According to 2019 data, less than 4% of enterprises had their operational safety audits performed. The detection of violations of the requirements of legislation in the field of environmental protection, as well as failure to eliminate the identified violations, indicates the formation of potential threats to environmental safety. Taking into account the current economic crisis, in which solving environmental problems will not be a priority for business structures, the protection of the population and the natural environment is fully transferred to the state level.
