Within the framework of the project “Implementation and Enforcement Challenges of the European Law on Selected Institutes in the Croatian Legal System – IPIE” (581- UNIOS-88) the Chair of Administrative Law and Administrative Science is organizing a workshop entitled: The Impact and Implications of European Administrative Law on Administrative Procedural Specificities in Selected Environmental Matters.
The workshop is primarily intended for students interested in acquiring fundamental knowledge of administrative procedural and administrative judicial specificities in selected special administrative proceedings and administrative disputes in the field of environmental law, through the presentation and analysis of concrete cases from judicial practice. By presenting and analysing available court cases, participants will gain direct insight into the decision-making practices of first-instance administrative courts and the complexity of environmental law disputes. Particular attention will also be devoted to the role of national administrative courts in ensuring effective judicial protection and the application of European Union law in environmental matters. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of first-instance administrative courts in the Republic of Croatia in providing judicial protection within the specific administrative field of environmental law.

The objectives of the project Implementation and Enforcement Challenges of the European Law on Selected Institutes in the Croatian Legal System – IPIE are to contribute to the strengthening of the research infrastructure and the competencies of the research team within the scope of the proposed research, as well as to foster the academic and professional development of early-career researchers, scholars, and students involved in the project. The aim of this research is to examine the extent to which the Republic of Croatia complies with its assumed obligations and the degree to which the current national legislation is harmonised with the acquis communautaire of the European Union, convention law, and selected comparative legal systems. Furthermore, the research seeks to identify certain open issues, ambiguities, and gaps arising from practice, as well as instances of insufficient regulation within the existing legislative framework.
Objective and Purpose of the Workshop: The workshop is intended for students interested in acquiring fundamental knowledge of administrative procedural and administrative judicial specificities in selected special administrative proceedings and administrative disputes in the field of environmental law, through the presentation and analysis of concrete cases from practice.
Expected Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to present coherent and well-founded arguments regarding the assigned discussion topics, analyse and correctly interpret specific statutory (procedural) provisions applicable to the relevant special administrative fields and legal institutes, as well as analyse special administrative procedures in the context of resolving administrative matters, issuing administrative acts, and examining selected administrative judicial practice.
We look forward to your active participation and engagement in the discussion, as well as to your acquisition of new knowledge and practical skills.
