Since long the energy policy has been escaping the concept of the common European policies or has been only partially influenced through the harmonisation of other common policies. If energy sector was considered an exclusive competence of every State Member (or as a part of its national security), nowadays, it has made a big step forward.

The energy markets were subsequently given a new liberalisation impetus by the approval of the 3rd energy package (July 2009).

Müllerová, Markéta ; Pospíšil, Zdeněk (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
This thesis deals with the revitalization of the Zbrojovka area and the public spa built by Bohuslav Fuchs. The Zbrojovka area is located along the Svitava river in the northeastern part of Brno. In the past, Zbrojovka was an important industrial centre of the city. Duing the 90's it started to lose its importance similarly as the other industrial zones and nowadays only a part of the buildings is used, while the rest is slowly going to the bad. The public spa was built in the 30's as one of the several city waterworks projects providing daily hygiene for Brno citizens. The area is divided into two parts, the summer part, where the outdoor pool is located, and the winter part, where baths and showers could be found. Nowadays just the summer part is still in use, the winter one is abandoned. This is the part the project is aimed at. The main goal of the project is to find a new function which will follow up the original purpose.
