Abstract

The Regional Act, consisting of 44 articles, regulates the exploration, exploitation and use of mineral and thermal waters existing on the Lazio Region. Exploration is permitted only upon issuance of a permit by the Regional Council. Article 3 specifies the documents and information to be submitted by the applicant so as to obtain the mentioned permit. Article 5 regulates the duration and transfer of the permit. In case of discovery of mineral or thermal water, the holder of the permit must inform the Regional Council not latter than fifteen days from the date of the discovery (art. 8). Article 8 concerns the revocation and withdrawal of the permit. The exploitation of mineral and thermal waters, on the other hand, is subject to the issuance of a concession by the Regional Council, as provided for in article 9. Mineral and thermal waters shall be used for sanitary, hygienic and therapeutical purposes in compliance with relevant Community, national and regional provisions and in authorized thermal and bootling establishments (art. 15 and 16). The Regional Council must carry out inspections to guarantee the compliance with the provisions hereby established (art. 30). Article 31 sets out related penalties. The Archives on Mineral and Thernal Waters of the Lazio Region are established by article 35. Furthermore, the Regional Council shall elaborate a Regional Plan on Activities concerning Mineral and Thermal Waters (art. 36). Final provisions regulate powers and duties of the Advisory Commission for Mineral Waters (art. 40-43).
