A significant emphasis is put upon the adaption of the Central and East
European countries to the commercial activities of the EU. These activities
are governed by an integrated source of primary and secondary trade law
with anti-dumping law as its component as a response to the application
of dumping activities occuring in the trade between the EU and Third World
countries.
The principle of free movement of goods has considerably contributed to
the emergence and need of this branch of law, whose basic terms and history
have been briefly described in this article. Recognising the universal
importance of anti-dumping activities and procedures as well as co-operation
between the most significant trade and economic organisations of the world,
the EEC, GATT and later WTO. Some of the most important tools as various
tariffs, treaties, other legal rules and procedures of the international
community have been mentioned and their role has been discussed. A similar
attention has been paid to the bodies.
The practical aspects of the application of anti-dumping legislation, subsequently
lead proceedings and measures taken with regard to this phenomenon have
shown its complexity and the importance of coping with it.
Finally the authoress has made a brief introduction into the manner how
this question is solved in the legislation of the Slovak Republic.

In the 20th century, the environmental protection belongs to the most topical issues. The author has passed in the presented paper from the basic definitions (ecopolicy, political party, etc.) to the description of ideological directions connected with the protection of the environmental. The analysis of the Greens in Germany and its comparison with the Greens' Party in Slovakia has shown the positions of these subjects within the political systems of their countries. The author has mentioned a specific position of environmentalists' interest groups in the USA. The functioning of Greenpeace in the Czech Republic is also dealt with in the presented article. Likewise, within the frame of ecological approach in the field of national legislation, the author has made the analysis of those parts of the constitutions of both the Slovak Republic and the Kingdom of Spain which deal with the protection of the environment.

Štátoprávne a spoločenské zmeny v Strednej Ázii spôsobili rad nových
funkcionálnych problémov. Ústavná zodpovednosť štátotvorného národa v mnohonárodnostnom
štáte vyvoláva potrebu rovnovážnej národnostnej politiky. Na druhej strane
sa národnostné menšiny musia prispôsobiť existencii v nových štátoch s
dominujúcim štátotvorným národom. Otáznym ostáva národný i nadnárodný rámec
pre otázky menšín. Hlavnými partnermi v medzietnickom dialógu sú Uzbeci
(štátotvorný národ, 76%) a Rusi (mnohovrstvové etnolingvistické spoločenstvo,
5,7%). Ústava z roku 1992 zabezpečuje úctu k jazykom, zvykom a tradíciám
národov a národností krajiny a vytvára podmienky pre ich ďalší rozvoj.
Novelizovaný Zákon o štátnom jazyku určuje uzbecký jazyk ako štátny a povoľuje
paralelné užívanie iných jazykov. Do roku 2005 má byť akákoľvek oficiálna
agenda vykonávaná výlučne v štátnom jazyku a bude zavŕšená reforma písma
na latinku. Ruskojazyčné obyvateľstvo Uzbekistanu možno rozdeliť do dvoch
skupín: časť obyvateľstva sa socio-kultúrne a jazykovo integrovala do uzbeckej
spoločnosti (možno ich nazvať "Uzbekmi ruského pôvodu"). Títo
sú zvyčajne zamestnancami veľkých hospodárskych celkov plne ekonomicky
zabezpečení a podporujú myšlienku uzbekčiliku - mentality moderného
Uzbekistanu.
Väčšia časť ruskojazyčného obyvateľstva a neuzbecké stredoázijské národy
(Tadžici, Kazaši, Turkméni a Kirgizi) sa snažia o samostatnú politickú
realizáciu v rámci existujúceho systému. V sociálnej oblasti je ich správanie
determinované snahou o prežitie a profitovanie zo štátnej pomoci.
Treťou skupinou sú eurázijskí Uzbeci (s európskymi predkami) integrovaní
do spoločnosti a nepožadujúci osobitný štatút. Riziká mnohonárodnosti v
Uzbekistane predstavujú predovšetkým etnické, jazykové, náboženské rozdiely
a rozdielna úroveň podpory samostatnej štátnosti. Tieto problémy môžu byť
eliminované dôsledným dodržiavaním soci-kultúrnej rovnováhy. Výhody mnohonárodnosti
spočívajú v dodatočnom impulze obnovy a rastu spoločnosti.

As it can deduced from the title of the presented paper, the author
has occupied himself, in a e manner, how the process of legislation in
the EU is going on. After having described the outright nature of the "European",
the basic legal acts of the EU were paid a close attention. Similarly,
the role and the position of the fundamental EU's bodies in and within
the legislative process as well as their democratic potential, stemming
from the legitimacy have been described thoroughly. The emphasis is put
upon the fact that the decision making power of the EU's bodies is in contradiction
with the level of their legitimacy. Further, namely the regime of consultations
and four procedures (la procedure de concertation, de co-opération,
de co-décision and ďavis conforme) have been analysed. A particular
attention has been paid to the pros and cons of the voting procedures in
the EU.
Final conclusion concerning the complexity of the legislation procedure
has been drawn. This complexity shall, however, reflect in the forthcoming
institutional reform, which one shall result in the simplification of the
law-making process in the EU.
