Comparative view of basic terms of European and American legislation in the field of fisheries

mr. Nenad Cukon,

Abstract

Differences in European and American model should be looked for in legal tradition and historical circumstances. The European system of the so-called civil law tradition is based on a more or less strict application of the law without leaving much space for the interpretation of regulations, whereas the American system of the so-called common law tradition finds an important role in judicature which appears as a corrective factor of the application of legislation. By observing basic terms from both systems in the field of fisheries it is realized that there is no essential professional difference. It can be determined that European and American legislation model in the field of fisheries are two different means for accomplishing the same goal in order to achieve the balance between the state union and a user of legislation in the field of fisheries.
