In December 1998, the Government adopted a resolution stipulating that all state aids must be notified to the Monitoring Authority. The notification system will become mandatory when the State Aid Bill approved by the Government becomes law. The State Aid Monitoring Authority in the Ministry of Finance should be strengthened. Some steps have been taken to increase transparency by compiling parts of the inventory of existing aids. However, it only provides for a basic level of comparibility between aid provided in the Czech Republic and in the Community.
Further improvements are therefore necessary.
