The approaches to the realization of ”the contaminant pays” principle in the states-parties to the Carpathian convention (ratified by Ukraine in 2004) are analyzed. The mechanisms of realization of the given principle in Ukraine, in the other states-parties to the Carpathian convention and in the states of European Union are compared. The amounts of ecological payments, which are used in Ukraine, are analyzed in comparison with the amounts of ecological payments and taxes in other countries. The trends of subsequent development of ecological taxation are assessed and the ways of its improvement in Ukraine are proposed on the basis of world tendencies and the European Union practice.
