The article refers to the new solution of the Water Law Act. It is a decision on water-legal assessment. It is issued in a formal mode, usually before obtaining a water law permit. The body decides in it whether the "investment or action" to which the permit application relates may affect the achievement of environmental objectives referred to in the Act in art. 56, art. 57, art. 59 and in art. 61. Such a decision is in most cases a reference for a preliminary ruling. Competence regulations are unclear. Similarly, the scope of cases is unclear when the provisions on the water-legal assessment are applied "appropriately" in the proceedings for issuing the environmental decision.

Keywords: water-legal assessment; environmental impact assessment; water law; administrative preliminary control
