Objectives: To seek for the optimum economic model for public utility services in the sector of municipal waste management; to present the results of studies regarding the efficiency of companies in the sector of management of municipal waste and the systems that such companies function within. Research Design & Methods: Multi-criterion rankings with the use of synthetic variable, the structure of which has been based on zeroed unitarisation (method of zeroed unitarisation – MZU). Owing to general financial data, technical and operational data, as well as output data, it was possible to determine rankings of effectiveness for companies in the system of municipal waste management and communes. What is more, a correlation diagram was created – the dependency between the aggregated effectiveness of companies and the aggregated effectiveness of waste management in communes. Findings: Communes which entrust municipal companies with management of an integrated system for municipal waste management or/and its individual chains feature more properties of operating, economic, and financial effectiveness within the scope of management of municipal waste. Implications / Recommendations: It is demonstrated that communes which entrust municipal companies with management of an integrated system for municipal waste management – or/and its individual chains – feature more properties of operating, economic, and financial effectiveness within the scope of the management of municipal waste. Contribution / Value Added: Further extended research into the organisation and management of the municipal waste management system. Article classification: The article presents an original and innovative analysis of the municipal waste management sector with the use of the developed research method of aggregation and unit efficiency ranking. The purpose is to continue the extended research on the organisation and management of the municipal waste management system.

The main objective of this article is to determine the effectiveness of enterprises providing municipal services and a model approach for processes related to the provision of local public transport services in Poland. In particular, the identification included methods of organisation and implementation of public utility tasks as well as organisational and legal forms and forms of ownership in the case of local collective transport. An attempt has been made to determine the effectiveness of enterprises providing urban transport services in cities in Poland, assessing their operational, financial, technical and social effectiveness. The research design and methods used in this article are based on the assessment of the effectiveness of enterprises using taxonomic methods of grouping e ntities according to selected characteristics and efficiency measures. The use of the k-means method with the number of clusters determined on the basis of the hierarchical Ward method, in which the contribution of variables to the differentiation of clusters was determined on the basis of a one-way analysis of ANOVA variance, to obtain groups of companies with similar efficiency indicators. The findings, based on the conducted research, present the relationship between the economic efficiency of public transport companies and their organisational and legal form as well as the type of ownership. Recommendations from empirical studies indicate that public enterprises operating in the field of municipal services provide public utility services with a higher level of economic efficiency than other distinctive groups of carriers. The added value is that the research methods presented in this work can be successfully applied to other sectors of the economy and other countries in order to verify the effectiveness of individual organizational, legal and ownership forms of enterprises.

Opracowanie podejmuje problematykę wzrostu publicznego nadzoru nad sprywatyzowanymi zadaniami gospodarczymi z zakresu świadczenia usługi powszechnej realizowanej przez przedsiębiorstwa komunalne - w analizie porównawczej do reżimu prawa publicznego przedsiębiorstw energetycznych. Tłem jest de lege lata wzmożenie administracyjno-prawnych środków nadzoru nad tymi podmiotami prawa. Sednem podjętej analizy otoczenia prawnego przedsiębiorstw użyteczności publicznej jest pozbawienie odbiorcy usług przedsiębiorstwa wodno-kanalizacyjnego (monopolisty), przy okazji zmiany modelu regulacji taryfowej tego rodzaju dostawców, prawa do samodzielnej drogi administracyjnoprawnej zaskarżenia taryfy jako naruszającej interes prawny tego odbiorcy. Autonomia jednostki w demokratycznym państwie prawa została ograniczona i powstaje pytanie, czy stan obecny jest wystarczająco uzasadniony, czy ochrona jednostki została wzmocniona, czy też ma miejsce jej osłabienie? Stąd przedmiotem analizy uczyniono możliwości zapewnienia aktywnej roli obywateli w promowaniu i efektywnym osiąganiu integracji systemu prawnego UE, na polu konkurencji i praw konsumentów. Przy okazji osiągania przez jednostkę jej interesu prywatnego może mieć miejsce jednoczesny udział jednostki i jej oddziaływanie w sferze publicznej, w której najefektywniej realizowana jest ochrona praw podstawowych w interesie ogółu jednostek.

This study addresses the problem of the progressive growth of public supervision over privatized business tasks in the area of provision of a general service provided by municipal companies; the issue is presented in the comparative analysis to the regime of the public law of power companies. The undertaken analysis of the legal environment of public service enterprises is focused upon the fact that as the model of regulation of tariffs for water and wastewater enterprises (a monopolist) is amended, the recipients of their services are deprived of their right to independent administration law path for challenging such tariff as infringing their legal interests. An autonomy of an individual has been reduced in a democratic state of law and the question arises whether the actual situation is sufficiently justified; and whether the protection of an individual has been reinforced or weakened. Hence, the subject of the analysis chosen is the potential to ensure the active role of citizens in promoting and effectively achieving the integration of the EU legal system in the field of competition and consumer rights. When an individual attains its private interest, an individual may have a simultaneous participation and influence in the public sphere, in which the protection of fundamental rights is most effectively carried out in the interest of all individuals.
