Legal action by the Bureau

the extraction of peat.
The Bureau of the National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic has decided on the following legal measure under Article 66 of the Constitution:
Initial provision.
The growing need for peat as an important raw material for our economy and the impact of land with peat deposits (hereinafter referred to as "peat"), in particular, on water management conditions, require that the extraction of peat be carried out in a planned and intensely and as economically efficient manner and that it is taken into account in the needs of the agricultural, forestry and water economy, as well as in the interests of the health sector, and that the peat is put up in the most efficient way after the extraction, especially by reclamation.
Authorities responsible for the management of peat mining.
(1) The extraction of peat is planned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which, in particular, organises research and survey of peat and sets out, on the basis of the survey results, a guide plan for the use of peat.
(2) In particular, the Executive Authorities of the Regional National Committees
(a) approve and authorise the projects and plans for the extraction of peat and the reclamation of peat (hereinafter referred to as "projects and plans");
(b) exercise immediate supervision of the proper extraction of peat and recovery of peat;
(c) may order a mining undertaking to cease mining if it restores the conditions laid down for the extraction of peat and the reclamation of peat or if economic reasons or other general interest so require.
(3) The Executive Authority of the Regional National Committee shall approve the project and authorise the extraction of peat in the territory in which the mineral deposits whose exploration and quarrying is subject to surveillance by the State Mining Administration are subject to agreement with the competent authority of that administration.
(1) An Advisory Council shall be set up at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In particular, it is the task of the Advisory Council to comment on the proposals for the indicative plan for the use of peat and on the draft implementing rules (Section 8).
(2) The members of the Advisory Board are representatives of the participating central authorities (s) and scientific institutions.
(3) Detailed rules on the scope and organisation of the Advisory Board shall be laid down in implementing measures.
The persons responsible for carrying out the tasks of the peat survey and the supervision of the correct extraction of peat and the reclamation of peat, which shall be demonstrated by the confirmation of the competent authority, after the authorisation provided for in the specific regulations, shall be entitled to enter and carry out the necessary work, survey or supervision, to take samples in the quantities required for the investigation and to require the necessary documents and data.
Peat mining.
(1) The extraction of peat is exclusively carried out by organisations authorised by the management authority of the Regional National Committee (hereinafter referred to as "mining undertakings"); in so doing, the mining undertaking shall follow an approved project and plan, after the conditions laid down for the extraction of peat and the reclamation of peat.
(2) The mining undertaking is obliged to arrange the development of the project and plan; the project and plan must be developed in such a way as to facilitate the extraction process by facilitating the fastest and most economical rendering.
The property and the rights required to implement the master plan for the use of peat may be expropriated if the owner does not reach agreement; However, peat which is a cooperative property or which has been associated with joint cooperative management cannot be expropriated. The rules on the planning and construction of municipalities apply mutatis mutandis to expropriation proceedings and compensation for expropriation.
(1) The mining undertaking is responsible for carrying out mining and reclamation under an approved project and plan and under the conditions laid down for the extraction and reclamation of peat.
(2) During mining, the mining undertaking is obliged to maintain local roads to peat, if it is mainly used.
(3) On completion of the extraction, the mining undertaking is obliged to make the soil adjustments necessary for the rehabilitation determined by the project and the plan. Other work associated with reclamation, such as planting and planting, will be done by whoever uses the land after reclamation.
Implementing regulations.
(1) The provisions implementing this legal measure shall be issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in agreement with the central authorities and authorities involved.
(2) The rules issued pursuant to paragraph 1 may also:
(a) to provide for derogations from the provisions of this legal measure for peatlands for which it is justified by their small size, by the power of the peat layer or by the slight economic or other significance, to exempt such peatland from its validity;
(b) transfer certain tasks of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to the relevant scientific institutions.
Transitional provisions.
However, an undertaking which has benefited from peat before the application of this legal measure may continue to mine, but is obliged to notify it within one month of the date on which this legal measure takes effect to the competent management authority of the Regional National Committee and submit to it, within the time limit set by it, a project and a plan for approval; the timely notification replaces the permit for the extraction of peat.
Final provisions.
This legal measure does not apply to peatlands declared a natural medical resource under Act No. 43 / 1955 Coll., on Czechoslovak spas and springs.
This legal measure shall take effect on 1 January 1957; they shall be carried out by the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry in agreement with participating members of the Government.
