PUBLIC HEARING – AN IMPORTANT AND UNDERESTIMATED ELEMENT OF PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY

Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0

Abstract

The fundamental principle of public hearing is that everyone may take part in it. Its main aim is to deliver various opinions, reasons and arguments to the law-maker, which allows to balance the conflicting interests. Therefore, it is an important mechanism to strengthen the citizens’ participation in making law and legislative process, since it creates the area to set out clearly all the various interests of different groups. Unfortunately, the institution of public hearing is not used very frequently and serves its purpose only partially. This paper is an attempt not only to present the normative structure of such institution, but also some de lege ferenda remarks that may lead to its better and wider use.<br/><br/>
