Abstract

The present Provincial Act lays down provisions in order to guarantee safety of navigation and bathing in the waters of the Lake Garda as well as the safeguarding of the natural environment. To attain these objectives, the administrative functions relating to the lake domain (including harbours) and navigation in the Lake Garda are regulated on an homogeneous legislative basis (which has been reached through a sub-national agreement) by the Lombardia Region, the Veneto Region and the Autonomous Province of Trento. The text of the sub-national agreement is inserted into Chapters II to IV of the present Act. Article 3 provides for the establishment of a Permanent Committee which shall be in charge of the implementation and, if necessary, of the updating of the provisions hereby contained. The sub-national agreement referred to in Chapters II to IV regards the lake domain (giving particular regard to harbours and related concessions), navigation and sport uses of the lake domain (art. 13 defines the areas where navigation is prohibited, art. 18 prohibits the release of waste). Articles 28 and 29 concern penalties and inspection respectively. Chapter V of the Act lays down particular provisions destined to be applied exclusively on the Autonomous Province of Trento. Article 31 specifies the competences of the Harbour Inspector. Articles 32 and 33 lay down certain specific prohibitions relating to navigation. Article 37 sets forth further measures in matter of inspections and controls to be carried out and related penalties.
