Changes in the Methodology for Determining the consequences of Negative Impacts on the State of aquatic biological resources and their Habitat

On March 17, 2021, Rosrybolovstvo Order No. 238 of May 6, 2020 "On Approval of the Meth-odology for Determining the Consequences of Negative Impacts during Construction, Recon-struction, and Major Repairs of Capital Construction Facilities, the Introduction of New Techno-logical Processes and other Activities on the State of Aquatic Biological Resources and their Habitat, and the development of measures to eliminate the consequences of Negative Impacts on the State of Aquatic Biological Resources and their Habitat, aimed at Restoring their Disturbed State" (Methodology) [1]. This document is not only a normative act, but also a practical guide to the independent calculation of damage when planning economic activities. Earlier, the Order of Rosrybolovstvo No. 1166 of November 25, 2011 was used to assess the damage [2]. Due to the exceptional importance of the Methodology in the field of fish protection and impact assessment on aquatic biota, we have prepared a brief overview of the significant changes that have affected the text of the document. References in the text, unless otherwise specified, point to the points of the new Methodology.

Harmonization Of Law

As the ASEAN Economic Community was formed, in principle there should be a free flow of economic activities, capital, labor and other things across borders within this community for the benefit of all in the region but in reality, there are still some legal impediments to the achievement of this goal. Harmonization of law of ASEAN countries would help to ease this problem. The same is also applicable to the problems of environmental protection as different laws in different jurisdictions could lead to the situation that polluters would certainly try to stay away from a country with strict environmental law and move their business to where the law is not that strict, or law enforcement is quite weak.Environmental impact assessment has played a very important role in environmental protection because it can be used as a method to predict what would be an environmental consequence of carrying out particular project or activity and offer how negative impacts could be prevented or mitigated. This article therefore would like to present the environmental impact assessment law in Thailand which consists of several interesting issues that could be the subjects of debate as to whether it would be possible or practical to harmonize ASEAN laws on such issue

The Law

The article notes that economic priorities remain subordinated to economic activity, and the economic development of the state is supported by unbalanced activities of natural resources. It should be emphasized that after the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, our state undertook to be involved in the harmonization of environmental legislation with European ones. One such step was the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Environmental Impact Assessment”, according to which most enterprises must go through an environmental impact assessment procedure when planning their activities that will have an impact on the environment. Emphasis is placed on the fact that environmental impact assessment is an administrative procedure that has clearly defined stages, rights and responsibilities of its subjects and is carried out by the competent authorities. Legal and organizational aspects of environmental impact assessment are identified. The stages of the environmental impact assessment procedure are analyzed. It is substantiated that the decision on the obligation to carry out an environmental impact assessment for the planned activity is made by the subjects of this activity. However, it is emphasized that the current legislation does not define the entity that has the right and obligation to monitor the compliance of decisions with these criteria if the entity believes that its activities do not fall under the criteria of mandatory impact assessment on the environment. It is determined that the environmental impact assessment procedure is aimed at the development of environmentally friendly economic activities, achieving a balance of interests of economic entities, residents of the territory in which these activities are carried out and the state. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the legal and organizational framework for environmental impact assessment is currently clearly spelled out in the legislation, but their practical implementation is not in full, which suggests that the main purpose of the Law of Ukraine “On Environmental Impact Assessment” is not is achieved. It is concluded that the environmental impact assessment procedure is multi-stage.

Srinagar City

Tourism is considered as an important industry in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in general and the Valley of Kashmir in particular. Though the State’s economy is largely depended on agriculture and horticulture, tourism is still considered as the backbone of the economy as it generates large scale employment opportunities. The industry has generated large number of jobs; particularly it has benefitted the younger generation. Boosting the economic activities in the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors in the state, tourism has continued to play a vital role in the economy of the state. The Valley of Kashmir witnesses a huge rush of tourists especially during peak seasons and every corner of Srinagar city is filled with high movement of tourists. The movement of tourists has largely been restricted to Golden Triangle of Kashmir i.e. Srinagar, Phalgam and Gulmarg. The Government has started earmarking other virgin destinations of Kashmir and established authorities for the development of the same, but on the ground level the scene is quite different. It is imperative to assess the carrying capacity of tourist attractions especially new and emerging destinations, in order to minimize the negative impacts of tourism. Keeping in view these considerations, the present work is an attempt to highlight the tourism potential of unexplored areas in Ganderbal District, which have immense potential for ecotourism development.

The issues of determining the estimated cost of capital construction projects with the involvement of Federal budget funds at the stage of development of project documentation, during verification of the accuracy of determining the estimated cost and the initial (maximum) contract price are considered. On the basis of the assessment of amendments to urban planning legislation for the purpose of implementing a state contract by the contractor ( based on the results of competitive procedures or without competitive procedures by decision of state authorities), the procedure for forming the estimate as part of a state (municipal) contract, the price of which is firm, is presented. For the purpose of mutual settlements between the customer and the contractor for the work performed, the formation of primary accounting documentation, as well as for checking the work performed by regulatory authorities, an example of drawing up an estimate of the state (municipal) contract on the basis of grouping costs according to structural elements and complexes of work is given. The result of the research conducted was the development of regulations and the formation of criteria for their practical application by state bodies, institutions, organizations and other participants in the investment-construction process, as well as recipients of budget funds, who perform the functions of the state (municipal) customer, developer and technical customer.

Subject. The article focuses on contemporary trends in the industrial and socio-economic development of Russia during the technological transformation of its sectors. Objectives. The study is an attempt to analyze what opportunities and difficulties may arise for the development of the industrial sectors in Russia. We also examine the dynamics of key development indicators of the industrial sectors, point out inhibitors of their competitiveness. Methods. The methodological framework comprises general methods of systems, structural-functional and comprehensive approaches to analyzing economic phenomena. We applied graphic, economic-statistical methods of research, conventional methods of grouping, comparison and generalization, and the logic, systems and statistical analysis. Results. We display how industrial sectors develop over time by type of economic activities. The article provides the rationale for structural rearrangements and further innovation-driven development of the industries. We display that the Russian industries technologically depend om imported production technologies. We substantiate the renewal of assets and technologies at industrial enterprises, and retain and develop human capital. Conclusions and Relevance. Primarily, the Russian economy should be digitalized as a source of the long-term economic growth. Notably, industrial enterprises should replace their linear production method with that of the circular economy and implement resource-saving innovative technologies. The State evidently acts as the leading driver of technological retrofitting of the industrial sector. If the State holds the reasonable and appropriate industrial policy at the federal and regional levels and configure its tools to ensure the modern approach to developing the industries in a competitive fashion, the industrial complex will successfully transform into the innovative economy.

Abstract Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has become widely accepted as an indispensable instrument to manage and control negative impacts of human activities on the environment. The present report analyzes the general legal framework for EIA in maritime areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) and also considers the regime for assessments in respect of specific activities in ABNJ. The report concludes that these existing frameworks will have to be taken into account if it were to be decided to develop a global instrument on EIA for all activities in ABNJ. The report provides a number of suggestions to move the current international debate on EIA in ABNJ forward.

Shed Light

The concept of bioeconomy is a topic of debate, confusion, skepticism, and criticism. Paradoxically, this is not necessarily a negative thing as it is encouraging a fruitful exchange of information, ideas, knowledge, and values, with concomitant beneficial effects on the definition and evolution of the bioeconomy paradigm. At the core of the debate, three points of view coexist: (i) those who support a broad interpretation of the term bioeconomy, through the incorporation of all economic activities based on the production and conversion of renewable biological resources (and organic wastes) into products, including agriculture, livestock, fishing, forestry and similar economic activities that have accompanied humankind for millennia; (ii) those who embrace a much narrower interpretation, reserving the use of the term bioeconomy for new, innovative, and technologically-advanced economic initiatives that result in the generation of high-added-value products and services from the conversion of biological resources; and (iii) those who stand between these two viewpoints. Here, to shed light on this debate, a contextualization of the bioeconomy concept through its links with related concepts (biotechnology, bio-based economy, circular economy, green economy, ecological economics, environmental economics, etc.) and challenges facing humanity today is presented.
