MEPs are also deeply concerned by the political pressure on independent Czech media as well as the countrys previous prosecutor-general.

Key Points: 
  • MEPs are also deeply concerned by the political pressure on independent Czech media as well as the countrys previous prosecutor-general.
  • They consider that the Czech Governments lack of action in tackling the Prime Ministers conflict of interest has a negative impact on the functioning of the Czech State authorities and on compliance with EU legislation.
  • Another option would be to ensure that he or other members of his government fully abstain from EU decision-making that might directly or indirectly concern the interests of the Agrofert group.
  • All of the evidence we have at hand indicates there are serious, systemic problems for Czechia that urgently need to be dealt with.
