CHANGES AFFECTING THE MEDICAL PROFESSION

Changes to doctors' and dentists' basic salary and changes to compensation for overtime were among the outcomes of the "strike by doctors", as set out in a memorandum between the government and the medical union regarding alteration of conditions in the health-care sector. These requirements, as well as others, have been enshrined in an amendment to the law, Act No. 578/2004 Coll.

 
BUDGETARY RESPONSIBILITY

Adoption of the constitutional law on fiscal responsibility is based on the concept of net worth which takes into consideration, in addition to conventional variables such as income, expenditure and their difference, also status variables. It allows a complex view of budgetary control. The law, moreover, establishes a new independent body and regulates the limits of public debt.

 
NEW SECURITIES ACT

Provision of full information concerning securities and their issuers is a major factor in investor protection. Therefore the amendment to the Act. 566/2001 Coll. on Securities includes provisions governing the type and method of information provision. The amendment brings changes, for example, to adjustments in the surveillance system in some specific provisions.

 
INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE FOR RECOVERY OF SOME CLAIMS

Electronic delivery of documents, introduction of a single enforcement order, and extension of the material scope of the law to all taxes, fees and duties, with the exception of certain claims, are some of the changes that became effective from 1 January 2012, as introduced by the amendment to the Act No. 466/2009 Coll. on International Assistance for the Recovery of Certain Financial Assets.

 
LEGAL RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN CRIMINAL LAW DECISIONS

Transposition of framework decision rules means that Member States shall facilitate the social rehabilitation of sentenced persons and shall recognise their appeals and imprisonment. Act. 533/2011 Coll. was adopted to legislate for the recognition and enforcement of decisions imposing penalties unrelated to imprisonment. We provide more information about these two legal acts in our full article.

 
BEING PREPARED IN PARLIAMENT – AMENDMENT TO THE ACT ON ROAD TRAFFIC

A proposed amendment would introduce strict liability for motor vehicle holders for violation of selected traffic rules. Discussion of breaches would be automated as far as possible in order to help reduce corruption and improve efficiency in proceedings.
