Vaculín, Michal ; Tomášek, Michal (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Aneta (referee)
Virtual currency and EU law Abstract This thesis focuses on the very topical issue of virtual currencies and European Union law, highlighting their growing importance in the global context. The introduction provides a historical overview of the evolution of money, from primitive barter to modern decentralized finance (DeFi) and virtual currencies. This context allows for a deeper understanding of the role of cryptocurrencies as the latest stage in the evolution of financial systems and how these currencies are transforming traditional concepts of money and financial transactions. The second part of the thesis presents a detailed introduction to the issues of cryptocurrencies, including the technical categorization of digital assets, explanation of the terminology used, and a description of the individual characteristics of cryptocurrencies, including their advantages and risks. The work also addresses the technological foundation of cryptocurrencies, particularly the distributed ledger technology (DLT), cryptocurrency wallets, and the energy intensity of DLT. It introduces the most significant and well-known virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as lesser-known altcoins. Special attention is given to the energy intensity of DLT, which is often a hotly debated topic in the context of...
State aid in the Field of Healthcare
Červinka, Jaroslav ; Šmejkal, Václav (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Aneta (referee)
1 State aid in the Field of Healthcare Abstract Health care in modern welfare states of the European Union member countries requires financing from public sources. However, member states also prohibit most forms of state aid in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The interpretation of the primary law in the decisional practice has confirmed in a long-term, that in the healthcare sector the competitive environment clashes with the public financing aspect. The Court of Justice and European Commission have repeatedly found ways how to deal with such a conflict. This thesis analyses court's case-law and the practice and soft law documents of European Commission, to establish which solutions are functional for the healthcare field, and which questions remain opened. For that purpose, it especially focuses on the exception for services of general economic interest according to Article 106 Paragraph 2 of the TFEU and on the interpretations of the term undertaking and the terms favouring and distortion of competition, contained in the definition of prohibited state aid. In the explored cases, the decision practice differentiates social funds lead by the principle of solidarity from the undertakings, which are subjected to EU competition law regulation. The traits of a social fund are mandatory...

The principle of primacy of application of EU law in the case law of the Spanish Constitutional and Supreme Courts Abstract The subject of this thesis is an analysis of the position of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Spain and the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Spain on the principle of primacy of the application of European Union law, as first established by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Costa v. Enel. The thesis is logically structured, firstly, into a chapter dealing with the genesis and meaning of the concept of the primacy of application of EU law in the light of the case law of the high court and legal theory, followed by a chapter summarising the general principles advocated by the Spanish Constitutional Court in the relationship between the Kingdom of Spain as a Member State and the European Union. The next two chapters provide an analysis of two specific court cases and draw out the implications for individuals of the application of the principle of primacy of EU law. The last chapter and the conclusion offer a synthesizing view of the topic discussed. The main contribution of the thesis is to introduce the doctrine of the Spanish Constitutional Court on the topic outlined above into the Czech environment, while its basic pillar can be considered to be the explicitly...
EU Competition Law analysis of football transfer fees
Subhan, Adam ; Exner, Jan (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Aneta (referee)
EU Competition Law analysis of football transfer fees Abstract: In this master's thesis, I assess the compliance of the transfer fees used in football with EU Competition law. I submit that the transfer fee system in its current state is a decision of an association of undertakings that is not compliant with Article 101 TFEU due to the restriction it imposes on the player supply market. This restriction prevents small market clubs to recruit good players and compete with large market clubs. I argue that the restriction cannot be justified under the Meca-Medina framework since it does not achieve the alleged objectives. The system is not inherent in pursuit of improvement of competitive balance at all. Even though it is inherent to promotion of youth development, it goes beyond what is necessary, and as such is disproportionate to the restriction is causes. The system neither qualifies for the exception of Article 101(3) TFEU, since it does not result in any efficiencies. However, I suggest that the effects of the transfer fee system cannot be assessed in isolation, but rather in the context with other football regulation, especially revenue redistributive mechanisms and limits on spending. In this context, I found the transfer fee system to have an aggravating negative impact on competitive balance because....

The Possibilities of the Use of Facial Recognition Technology in the Context of Personal Data Protection in the EU Abstract This thesis focuses on the data protection connected to the use of facial recognition technology in the EU. In particular, the purpose of the thesis is to assess under which circumstances and conditions the use of this technology complies with the GDPR. Marginally, the thesis addresses the risks and benefits of facial recognition technology. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part examines the general data protection framework in the EU, with an emphasis on the protection of biometric data. The aim of this part is to outline the main legal background regarding the protection of biometric data and the general principles of data processing. In particular, the author criticizes the legal definition of biometric data, which does not correspond to the technological reality, and which may be problematic in the case of the application of Article 9 of the GDPR. The second part of the thesis is devoted to facial recognition technology itself, its different types, and applications. An understanding of the technology itself is crucial within this thesis for the correct application of the legal framework. The author also finds it necessary to examine the reasons why this technology...

Vévoda, Ondřej ; Šmejkal, Václav (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Aneta (referee)
1 Certainty of FRAND conditions when concluding license agreements for SEP in the system of European competition law Abstract The diploma thesis examines the relationship of European Union competition law in relation to intellectual property rights, specifically standardized technologies using patents. The topic is currently at the forefront of interest with regard to technology development and the interconnection of global markets. Standardized technology is now increasingly used globally. The aim of this work is to determine whether there is a fixed method in the jurisdiction of the European Union, how to determine the license agreement for a patent for standardized technology under FRAND conditions, or whether there are a larger number of these methods. The second issue examined is to determine whether European competition law clearly provides undertakings with a procedure for negotiating a standardized technology patent license agreement in order to avoid infringing European Union competition law. The work takes into account the decision-making of judicial and other bodies in the matter, especially at the level of European Union institutions, but for a broader view, the methods of other jurisdictions with the highest GDP are given, namely the USA, Japan, China, Germany and the United Kingdom. In...

Galis, Daniel ; Navrátil, Petr (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Aneta (referee)
Arbitration Clauses in Bilateral Investment Treaties and their (in)compatibility with EU law Abstract The objective of this Master's Thesis is to critically analyse the Achmea judgment and its repercussions for the compatibility of arbitration clauses in the intra-EU BITs with the EU law. In the first part, the thesis therefore focuses on the judgment itself and identifies the main legal grounds the Court relied upon and contrasts them with the relevant case-law and doctrinal opinions. Firstly, the principle of the autonomy of the EU law is introduced and the applicability of the Article 344 TFEU on the investment arbitration is discussed. Then, it is considered whether an arbitral tribunal established under an intra-EU BIT may be a tribunal within the meaning of the Article 267 TFEU and whether subsequent review of the award by national court may be sufficient to guarantee its compliance with the EU law. Particularly, the thesis focuses on the Court's distinction between the commercial and investment arbitral tribunals. The first part ends with an analysis of the principle of the mutual trust and its role in the Achmea judgment. The second part of the thesis then deals with the development after the judgment. Following a brief introduction into the political shift against the intra-EU BITs which occurred...
