Abstract
This Regulation determines the procedures and measures to be taken in cases of accidents on waters and coastal water land, with the aim of implementing water and sea water protection in cases of emergency and incidental water pollution. Occurrence of accidents on waters and coastal water land, in terms of application of this Regulation, is divided into two types depending on the mode of occurrence, namely emergency pollution and incidental pollution.
The text is divided into four Chapters as follows: I. General provisions; II. Measures in cases of emergency pollution; III. Measures in cases of incidental pollution (including measures in case of incidental pollution occurring outside the borders of the Federation of BiH, article 15); IV. Final provisions. Measures in cases of incidental pollution classified as degree I and degree II of endangerment are laid down in article 14. Issues on authorization of legal entities for the elimination of consequences of incidents are laid down in article 19.
The Annex (1, 2 and 3) is also part of this publication (schematic action plans).
