Industry and Trade Minister Jozef Síkela will on Wednesday propose that the government allocate CZK 30 billion to compensate large companies for increasing energy prices. According to the minister, the aid should help around 8,000 companies.
Ahead of a government meeting, Mr Síkela said he didn‘t envisage setting maximum energy prices for companies because European legislation did not allow it. The firms will receive the support in the form of compensation for losses. They can start applying for it already this year.
The minister wants to compensate primarily energy-intensive industries, such as manufacturing or mining.

Acclaimed US actor John Malkovich will present the world premiere of his one-man show The Infamous Ramirez Hoffman in Prague, the Czech News Agency reports. Malkovich will perform the play in English at Prague’s Congress Centre on November 11 and then take it on tour.
The play is based on the last chapter of the book Estrelio Distante (The Distant Star) by Chilean author Roberto Bolaño. The book, considered by literary critics to be one of Bolaño's most important works, is a story about an artist who cares only about aesthetics rather than ethics.
Malkovich will perform accompanied only by musicians, just like in his play The Music Critic, which he performed in July this year in Kroměříž in south-east Moravia.
