Government Opinion on Parliamentary Print No. 138/0

Processed date: 15.04.2026

The Government has expressed its disagreement with MP Vít Rakušan’s proposal to amend the Nomination Act governing the selection of persons to the bodies of state-owned companies. The reason for this is that the government has previously supported another proposal that would abolish the entire nomination law. According to the government, it therefore makes no sense to amend the law if its complete abolition is being discussed at the same time. For this reason, the Government recommends not to accept the proposed amendment.
