Abstract
In a series of elements that define the legal regulation, it is necessary to allocate a subject of this regulation. Current Russian environmental regulation contains gaps and contradictions, administrative barriers for industry and does not provide constitutional rights to a healthy environment. One of the reasons for the formation of such environmental regulation is the use as a subject of regulation of subject-object relationship between economic activity and environment. There was offered a new subject of legal regulation in the field of environment protection – subject-object ecological relationships. Introduction of ecological relationships allows defining a new coherent environmental management, providing favorable conditions for the environment and reducing unjustified administrative burden on industry.
