Legislative instruments and their use in the management of raw materials in the Slovak Republic

many sectors of society's economy. None of the production sectors
of the economy and social life can exist without securing a
sufficient amount of minerals. In this article, we deal with the
analysis of the raw materials policy of the Slovak Republic. A
necessary condition for the creation of the raw material policy of the
territory is the knowledge of the raw material base and the raw
material needs of the given territory. Without this knowledge, raw
materials policy-making is impossible. We made an analysis of the
legal environment on the basis of which we created a set of critical
areas of the Slovak Republic raw materials policy. We have drafted
a recommendation to be incorporated into the legislative proposals
with regard to raw materials policy. The proposed recommendation
could ensure the sustainability of the country's mining industry as
well as streamlining mining fees.
