检察机关作为环境公益诉讼原告的优势及程序制度的完善

The Design of Rules of Procedure with the Procuratorial Organizations as the Environmental Public Interest Litigation Plaintiff

环境公益诉讼的原告资格问题一直是环境公益诉讼研究中的重点和难点。新《民事诉讼法》明确排除了公民个人提起环境公益诉讼的可能性。在中国,环保组织并不强大,环保行政机关受到各方利益的牵制,因而检察机关应当是最适格的原告。另外,由检察机关担当环境公益诉讼的原告,在现有诉讼程序的基础上,对其进行适当修改和完善,就可以适用于环境公益诉讼的需要,更具有可操作性。

The problem of the plaintiff qualification has always been the emphasis and difficulty in the study of the environmental public interest litigation. The New Civil Procedural Law rules out the possibility of individual citizen＇s filing a lawsuit against environmental tort. In China, the procuratorial organizations are the most suitable plaintiffs with the environmental protection organizations being too weak and the environmental protection administrations got stuck in the interests with all parties. Besides, with proper modification and improvement of the current judicial proceedings, it is more applicable and feasible for the procuratorial organizations to act as the envi- ronmental public interest litigation plaintiff.
