ČEZ loses freedom of information case, again

The Supreme Administrative Court has upheld a previous decision finding that the energy company ČEZ must provide information in accordance with freedom of information laws. The court thus agreed with the complaint of a civic association which has been attempting to acquire documentation on the fuel the company uses for several years. ČEZ considers the court’s decision a violation of its equal rights in relation to other companies on the free market; the court however found that the electricity giant meets the criteria of a public institution, established by the state, which also has a majority share in it.
