ACTIVITIES OF SPECIALLY AUTHORIZED GOVERNMENT BODIES IN THE FIELD OF ECOLOGY IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN: THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS

This article analyzes the concept, purpose, object and system of activities of specially authorized government bodies in the field of ecology. In addition, the scientific opinions of legal scholars on the issues of “public administration”, “government bodies in the field of ecology”, “competencies” and the system of state administration bodies regulating the sphere are analyzed. The author’s definitions of the concepts of “public administration in the field of ecology” and “competence of the state administration body in the field of ecology” have been developed. It is also theoretically substantiated that the competence of these government bodies is of great importance when dividing the system of government bodies regulating the sphere of ecology into 3 types. At the same time, an important aspect in determining the competence of the management body regulating the environmental sphere is to achieve the necessary correspondence between functions and competencies. In this case, first of all, the content of the powers should fully correspond to the content of the functions of the relevant management body, and the scope of the powers of the public administration body should correspond to the scope of the functions performed by it, in relation to each object of control everything should be determined and justified that it should effectively ensure implementation. At the end of the study, the necessity of optimizing the system of competent government bodies that regulate the sphere of ecology in our country is substantiated.
