Abstract This work investigates the implementation of the European Union (EU) Floods Directive (FD) in Lithuania. First, it analyzes the requirements set in the EU law for the correct and effective implementation of the directive. Second, it addresses the implementation of the FD in the national law of Lithuania and the practical application of it, particularly in regard to the amendments of the land use regulations. The assessment revealed that Lithuanian authorities comply with the deadlines and requirements set in the FD. However, not all measures are considered to be effective. The distribution of tasks, among particular authorities, especially the potential role of the river basin district council, is not clear, which can lead to an inconsistent decision-making process. The urbanization in the flood hazard territories is still growing, and the usage of hazardous chemicals in agriculture in these areas is allowed. Therefore, the legal limitations of construction and intense agriculture were not sufficiently effective. These drawbacks in the effectiveness of the implementation of the FD can significantly affect the contribution of Lithuania in achieving European and global sustainable development goals.

欧盟洪水指令的实施——要求和国家转换和实际应用：立陶宛案例研究

摘要 这项工作调查了欧盟 (EU) 洪水指令 (FD) 在立陶宛的实施情况。首先，它分析了欧盟法律中为正确有效地实施该指令所设定的要求。其次，它解决了立陶宛国家法律中FD的实施及其实际应用，特别是在土地使用法规的修订方面。评估显示，立陶宛当局遵守了 FD 中规定的截止日期和要求。然而，并非所有措施都被认为是有效的。特定当局之间的任务分配不明确，尤其是流域区议会的潜在作用，这可能导致决策过程不一致。洪水灾害地区的城市化仍在增长，允许在这些地区在农业中使用危险化学品。因此，建设和集约化农业的法律限制不够有效。FD 实施有效性方面的这些缺陷会显着影响立陶宛在实现欧洲和全球可持续发展目标方面的贡献。
