KŠB Successfully Assists REMA System in Obtaining Authorization to Operate Collection System for Electrical Equipment

KŠB’s team led by Tomáš Sequens and Petra Mirovská was successful in assisting our long-standing client REMA Systém, a.s. with obtaining authorization from the Ministry of the Environment to operate a collection system for ensuring the obligations of manufacturers of electrical equipment under the new End-of-Life Products Act for all groups of electrical equipment, including solar panels, for which it previously did not have authorization.

The new End-of-Life Products Act imposes a number of corporate, financial, contractual, organizational, technical and other requirements on operators of collection systems. We assisted the client in making its collection system compliant with all the requirements, which was essential for obtaining the authorization to continue operating the system. Our assistance also included legal advice throughout the challenging licensing process.

For more information, please see REMA System's press release or its annual report here (both only in Czech).

Suburbanization Trends and Sustainable Commuting: Will the Construction Act Amendment Change the Landscape?

The discussion surrounding the current proposal to amend the Construction Act (Parliamentary Print 67) has moved to the committee stage in the Chamber of Deputies following its first reading. The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings. The shortage of affordable housing remains a pressing issue in major cities, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, giving rise to the pervasive trend of suburbanization. This raises the question: does the proposed amendment truly have the ambition to reverse this trend, and will an increase in housing construction alone suffice?
