行政立法裁量与法律优先原则之间的权衡——以《环境行政处罚听证程序规定》第五条为分析对象

The Balance between Discretion of Administrative Legislation and Law Priority Doctrine: On the analysis of Article 5 of The Provisions on the Procedures for the Hearing on Environmental Administrative Punishment

"法律优先"是行政立法所应遵循的原则之一。它意味着行政立法应受宪法和法律的约束。它是保障行政法规、规章合法有效的前提和基础。同时由于不同地区部门之间存在的巨大差异性,需要行政机关制定相应的行政法规规章,将法律规定具体化,以保障法律的有效实施。因此,从这一点来说,行政立法过程中需要根据实际情况进行适度的裁量。如何处理好行政立法裁量与法律优先原则,是行政立法活动所必须解决的问题,也是确保行政立法活动合法有效的关键所在。

＂Law priority doctrine＂ is one of the fundamental principles that we should follow in administrative legislation, which means that the administrative legislation should be governed by the constitution and laws. It is the foundation to ensure the legality of administrative laws and regulations. Because of the big difference between different sectors in different areas, the administration should enact corresponding administrative regulations to ensure the effective implementation of laws. Therefore, in administrative legislation we need proper administrative discretion based on the actual situation. We must solve the problem of balancing the discretion of administrative legislation and law priority doctrine so as to ensure the legality of administrative legislation.
