构建环境公益行政诉讼制度的设想

在《行政诉讼法》和《环境法》的修改中亟需确立环境公益行政诉讼制度。具体制度构建方面,可以考虑:赋予检察机关和公民、法人及其他组织同等的环境公益行政起诉权;设置更可行的诉讼管辖;合理确定举证责任的分配;增加判决种类,并且允许原被告双方和解;把公益诉讼纳入到法律援助的范围,同时注意平衡环境公益保护与行政权行使之间的关系。

Firstly, authorize procuratorial organization, citizens, legal persons and other organizations equal right to sue; Secondly, set more feasible jurisdiction; Thirdly, distribute burden of proof reasonably; Fourthly, add types of judgment, permit compromise between the plaintiff and the defendant; Finally, bring public interest litigation into the scope of legal aid, and balance the relations between environmental public interest protection and exercise of administrative power.
