The Czech Parliament is set to debate two versions of a law extending the EU emissions trading system to all fossil fuels by 2027, which could increase fuel prices by 2-3 CZK per liter. The draft of the bill is not public but was obtained by website SeznamZprávy.cz. One version proposes implementing the law gradually, deferring full responsibility to the next government, while the other seeks immediate implementation. The debate is complicated by upcoming regional elections, with concerns about the political impact of rising fuel costs. The law is part of the EU's Green Deal, which Czech politicians agreed to under previous governments.

Postponing the digitisation of construction permits system would cause more economic damage to Czechia than its launch in its current form, Regional Development Minister Ivan Bartoš said in a debate programme on Czech Television on Sunday.
According to Mr. Bartoš, the money for the system’s digitalization can be drawn from the National Recovery Plan, i.e. from European resources, but the condition is that the system be launched in the third quarter of 2024.
The Minister has been under fire for persisting problems with the newly digitized system which has drawn complaints from civil servants around the country. Mr. Bartoš repeated on Czech Television that he was not considering resigning.

The World War II bomb discovered at Unipetrol’s chemical plant near Litvínov earlier this week will be difused on Thursday or Friday, not on Wednesday as originally planned, Karel Čadil, the head of the police bomb squad, told Czech Television on Saturday. The postponment is neccesary due to a large number of protective sandbags needed, he said.
The british aerial bomb, discovered on Wednesday during excavation works at the site, features a chemical timer that prohibits movement until Tuesday afternoon. It is not yet clear when the chemical plant will resume operations.
