Competitiveness and Enviromental Protection in the EU
Havlíčková, Lenka ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Tunkrová, Věra (referee)
The bachelor thesis examines the impact of the EU environmental policy on the competitiveness in the region. Environmental measures are assesed in the context of macroeconomic competitiveness focusing on climate policy. The theoretical concept of competitiveness and EU climate policy is introduced and their interconnection evaluated. This is applied on the European emission trading system and partially on the situation in the Czech republic. As the direct relationship between environmental policy and competitiveness has not been proved, the empirical studies offer no consensus on potential nor real impacts of the European emission trading system on the EU competitiveness.

Ouzký, Martin ; Štěpánek, Petr (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
Although the global economic crisis and significant geopolitical changes have overshadowed the global interest in the issue of climate change, the question of a long term solution of world's alternating climate remains the main trigger of political debates all around the world. The European Union seeks to be the leader in this field. This thesis aims to describe the extensity of european enviromental legislature and the consequences of its implementation into the legal framework of European Union and confronts it with EU's long term aim to sustain competitiveness. The first part lists the main climate protection related legislative acts and strategies EU has prepared and implemented especially during the past ten years. Included in this part is a narrow review of Lisbon strategy and its follow-up Europe 2020. The second part of this thesis describes various theoretical approaches towards competitiveness. The third part offers views on how the climate protection legislature affects the competitiveness of EU itself and includes the confrontation of different strategies among EU and its global partners.

EU ETS post 2012
Řezníčková, Dobroslava ; Slavíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Jílková, Jiřina (referee)
The thesis tells about an European Union Emission Trading Scheme revision. EU ETS is an economic instrument for CO2 emission reduction. The thesis focuses on analysis of revision from the view of scheme deregulation, rule stability, impacts on instalations and states' economics. Deregulation is important for more effectiveness in the market. Other part of the thesis focuses on the possibility of auction revenue use in state economics. Auction is the most important part of the EU ETS revision. Methodologies of the Public Choice are used for analysis -- bureaucracy growth effect, lobbying, market regulation, etc.

Tax aspects of the emission allowances trading
Knupp, Aleš ; Pavel, Jan (advisor) ; Pavel, Jan (referee)
This study deals with questions regarding Carbon Dioxide allowances market. By giving an explanation of the most important terms and core coherences of the EU ETS system, it endeavours to provide thematic organized preview of the allowances as a whole. The work stands on several pillars which are essential for existence of the allowances market. I mainly talk about national legislation giving basic law framework, then National allocation plan and, on the international level, I refer to the Kyoto protocol and global connection of previously separated market systems on a worldwide scale. The work's goal is to expand on the theme of emission trading and draw out possible impacts on the individual emitents and the whole economy. The first chapter deals with allowances as a matter of czech legislation and financial accounting. In the following text I discuss a trading emission scheme and give readers a vivid example for practical illustration. The Last part is devoted to the future of trading and, in particular, to the implementation of the auction system which allows the producers to buy the allowances themselves.

Srovnání základních parametrů systémů UK ETS a EU ETS
Vařecha, Jan ; Čamrová, Lenka (advisor) ; Lipka, David (referee)
Každý systém obchodování s emisními právy je založen na řadě parametrů definovaných ještě před spuštěním celého systému. Tyto parametry jsou stanoveny regulátorem, tj. zpravidla státem a jeho orgány. Jelikož se ale jedná o administrativní rozhodnutí, které je ovlivněno řadou rozličných faktorů, může při jeho přijímání dojít k řadě chyb, které narušují budoucí fungování systému obchodování s emisními právy, včetně systémů obchodování s právy na emise skleníkových plynů. Cílem této práce je popsat, které z výše uvedených základní parametrů jsou pro úspěšné a efektivní fungování systémů obchodování s právy na emise skleníkových plynů nezbytné a porovnat na základě těchto parametrů fungování systému UK ETS (systém obchodování s právy na emise skleníkových plynů zavedený ve Velké Británii) a EU ETS (systém obchodování právy na emise skleníkových plynů fungující v Evropské unii), zhodnotit jejich úspěšnost a nedostatky a posoudit, zda náklady vynaložené na jejich fungování byly přiměřené dosaženému snížení emisí skleníkových plynů.
