Jurisprudence affirms that "the legal system regulates social relations that are subject of lasting settlement". Economic relations are a kind of public relations and as such are also subject to legal regulation. Therefore, the economic system is premised on the legal device that is stipulated according to the constitution. While classical political economy, introducing the concept of "economic base (substructure)" and "social structure (superstructure)" defines economic relations as basic and in this sense - for defining social relations in the superstructure. In this sense, economic relations trigger other public relations, including the legal system. In other words: Economy set the legal foundations (i.e. legal system). Obviously, there is a contradiction, but if this contradiction is apparent or meaningful (at paradigmatically level)? This contradiction led has provoked the scientific curiosity on the "macro-legal and macro-economic regulation of public relations".

The present paper attempts to identify the main barriers in implementing reverse logistics in Bulgarian manufacturing and commercial enterprises. After the theoretical literature review, nine barriers are displayed. Based on a survey, the barriers are ranked according to respondents’ opinions. Barriers in implementing reverse logistics and the degree of importance of its implementation in enterprises are submitted by means of two-dimensional distribution. The next stage of analysis is connected with the study of relationship and direction of influence among the variables. The results show that the reverse logistics is essential for the implementation of more environmentally friendly manufacturing and trade but barriers are relatively irresistible. The reasons for this have their roots in the government policy and non-engagement of managers to problems that can be solved through reverse logistics.
