  • Slovak Republic 2003 FOREWORD
    FOREWORD FOREWORD In May 2004, several years of efforts concentrated on meeting conditions for accession of Slovak Republic (SR) to European Union (EU) culminated. SR together with 9 other candidate countries became full members of the EU. The phase of negotiating and meeting conditions for EU accession for chapter 22 Environment within the meaning of National Accession Program - acquis communautaire was completed before the end of 2002. SR fulfilled all environmental requirements of EU, with the exception of 7 negotiated transitional periods for implementation of the most consumptive directions. By this time determinative steps for harmonisation of the Slovak environmental legislation with the one of EU had been made. In 2003 SR followed up with the integration efforts from previous years, and further effort was focused especially on introducing and implementation of the environmental legislation system into practice. From the viewpoint of the harmonisation of environmental legislation, one of the most important steps in 2003 was adoption of the Act No. 245/2003 Coll. on Integrated Prevention and Control of Environment Pollution and on Amendment of some Laws. The aim of this law is to accomplish an overall high level of environment protection by providing for a balanced integrated evaluation of all elements of the environment by the authorities of public administration while allowing facility, which can in crucial way pollution of environment cause. A significant role in this process has been entrusted to Slovak Environment Inspectorate. Consecutively to the EU General Directive on Waters, a proposal of a new Water Act was prepared in 2003, which was adopted by the National Council of Slovak Republic as Act No.

  • Are the Czech Or Slovak Regions “Closer to Europe”? Pro-Europeanness from a Subnational Perspective Martin Plešivčák*
    Original Article 183 Are the Czech or Slovak regions “closer to Europe”? Pro-Europeanness from a subnational perspective Martin Plešivčák* Comenius University in Bratislava, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Department of Economic and Social Geography, Demography and Territorial Development, Slovakia * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Based on the 2003–2019 electoral data, this article evaluates the level of pro-Europeanness in Czechia and Slovakia at the regional and sub-regional levels during and after their EU accession period. The TOPSIS multi-criteria evaluation method and cluster analysis were used to quantify the pro-European levels and to create the subsequent categories of territorial units. The results show sup- port for the ideas of European integration primarily in large urban regions (Prague, Brno, Bratislava, Košice), territorial units with a higher concentration of ethnic minorities, larger scale agricultural activities (southwestern Slovakia), and a high degree of religiosity (northeastern Slovakia). The low level of pro-Europeanness was predominant in the less developed north-western Czechia and parts of Moravia. In Slovakia, the Eurosceptic regions were mostly located in the northwest, where the values of statism, egalitarianism and nationalism have a strong tradition. This approach can be used to identify areas of weak support for the EU project at a spatially disaggregated level in other EU countries.
