Kyselá, Eva ; Grmelová, Nicole (advisor) ; Valenta, Petr (referee)
This thesis focuses on legal protection afforded to foreign investments by international law. Its aim is to survey impartially the sources of international investment law, provide some insight into the procedural mechanisms by means of which the guaranteed standards of treatment and protection of investments are enforced, and analyze the relation of this specific branch of international law to the law of the EU. In its first part, the thesis defines the term foreign investment from both economic and legal point of view, so that it delimites the object of the branch of law which is being studied. In the second part it adresses the sources of international investment law, trying to underline the specific role of the usually overlooked noncontractual sources.The third part summarizes the methods of investment dispute resolution. The final part analyzes the interference of the law of the EU and the international investment law and tries to provide unbiased answers to the questions brought up by the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty in this field.

Horka, Marian ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Ryvolová, Ivana (referee)
In my work I will deal with mergers of companies in the Czech Republic in 2000-2008. I will concentrate on the share of foreign mergers and try to find out whether the year 2004, when the Czech Republic joined the EU, had an influence on the change of the number of foreign mergers. Then I will devide them according to the classification "OKEČ". In my analytical part I will use the date from the collection of statistics and decisions of "ÚOHS".

I will mention the most important mergers, which have been realised in the Czech Republic in recent years.

Position and perspectives of the oil-refining industry - comparison of Central and Eastern European Countrie
Kuznetsova, Evgenia ; Černá, Iveta (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
Being non-renewable source of energy, oil maintains the largest contributor to the energy mix of all counties in the world. Consequently, oil-refining industry is a field of particular concern for the governments and society. This work focuses on oil-refining industry in the countries of Eastern and Central Europe. This topic is very sensitive for CEE counties due to continuously rising energy prices, vulnerability of the supply security and current EC regulations concerning emissions trade and common environment policy. This thesis aims to answer to question what will happen to the industry in CEE counties after implication of new EC regulations and development of the renewable sources of energy. For this purpose, SWOT analysis of the industry in different counties was performed, highlighting major strengths and potential threats. Further analysis describes major mergers and acquisitions in the industry, FDI and current problems of trade imbalance. Particular attention is given to the security of supply and dangerous dependency on the crude oil imports. The results show that some EC policies and regulations could be potentially perilous for the counties which have large crude reserves and developed oil-refining and petrochemical industry, influencing such factors as cost of production and competitiveness of the product in the market. However, further development of renewable sources is often the only option available for the counties with no fossil fuel reserves and poor developed refining infrastructure, aimed to eliminate ever-increasing energy dependency.
