Position of the American Chamber of Commerce CR regarding the surge in electricity prices presented at a press conference of the Confederation of Industry of the CR on October 13, 2010
Transparency and Competitiveness
From our perspective, issues of increase in electricity prices and taxation of producers of photovoltaic energy must be seen in the light of competitiveness of the Czech economy. If the economy is in trouble and faces harsh conditions, any price increase or taxation would weaken and hurt it. This is a general rule. The American Chamber of Commerce CR (AmCham), however, wants the opposite, that is promote competitiveness of the Czech Republic and Czech economic growth.
