Merger control in EU and USA
Ventová, Kateřina ; Zajíček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Pfeifer, Lukáš (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to compare the approaches of EU and USA to the merger control from the point of view of the competition policy. Its goal is to confirm the hypothesis that both these approaches converge, but there are still significant differences. The comparative method was used to achieve this goal. The necessary information was gained from law regulations, academic papers and books. The results is that in the last years, mainly after the reform of merger control in EU in 2004, the definition of the lessening of the effective competition has been converged and the same happened in the field of horizontal mergers. However there are still significant differences in the area of non-horizontal mergers, mainly because the approach of USA is based on the ideas of Chicago school, but the approach of EU is rather based on the post-Chicago economics. Other differences can be found in the fact, that US merger control system is judicial but in EU it is administrative. Apart of that the US antitrust authorities use more economics and econometrics. These findings are also proved by the arguments of EU and USA in the cases GE/Honeywell and DB/NYX, in which both jurisdictions decided differently.

Analysis of investment policy in case of re-building and reconstruction of the CWTP in Prague in context of European grant
Večerník, Jakub ; Vojáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Slavík, Jan (referee)
The Reconstruction of the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant in Prague constitutes a fundamental challenge for the Czech capital city of Prague. The existing wastewater treatment plant is obsolete and fails to comply with limits set forth by the Council Directive 91/271/EEC concerning urban waste-water treatment. Thus, it is necessary to build a new waterline and reconstruct the old one. As such a project would be financially demanding, its implementation is dependent upon a subsidy from the EU Operational Programme "Environment". There are also more variants of the reconstruction of the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant in Prague. In the thesis, the author compares the contemplated options of re-building and reconstruction of the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant in Prague. He also examines the influence of negotiations with European Commission representatives and of the amount of the subsidy upon the choice of the final option. A hypothesis of the study is that due to the subsidy policy creates pressure on the final form of the reconstruction of the Prague Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, which directly interact its economic efficiency.

European Commission and its role in forming collective identity in the EU
Havlíček, Tomáš ; Müller, Karel (advisor) ; Reschová, Jana (referee)
The work deals with the formation of a European public sphere through cultural policies and European collective identity. It starts with premise that in today's globalized world the function of nation-states is weak. I believe it is good option for European states to delegate some of its powers to an international organization such as the European Union. I believe that if the European public sphere were developed more it would helped to increase the competitiveness of EU in the economic, political and social sphere. My work tries to answer the question how this European public sphere could be formed. Therefore I focused on the European Commission which is the only one operational executive body of the EU which aims to promote European (supra-national) interests. So In my work I analyzed one of their program. This program became the ERASMUS program - a program for university student exchange. By analyzing the cultural policy and the ERASMUS program I was able to answer the question why it is important to create a European public sphere and if the European Commission wants to reach this objective.
