Adamčíková, Leona ; Šmejkal, Václav (advisor) ; Handrlica, Jakub (referee)
This Master's Thesis deals with the EU competition law enforcement towards undertakings in the energy industry. The attention of the thesis is devoted only to the part of the energy industry, gas and electricity sectors, as the EU decided to liberalize these markets in the mid-1990s with the aim of gradually transform them into the single European energy market, which will be fully open to the competition. The aim of the thesis is to answer research question, what the specifics of the EU competition law enforcement towards undertakings in the energy industry are. The first chapter deals with the fundamental competition law rules, which are analysed in the thesis within the energy industry. These are prohibition of the agreements which have as their object or effect the restriction of competition (regulated in the Art. 101 TFEU) and prohibition of the abuse of dominant position (regulated in the Art. 102 TFEU). Besides these rules, which are enforced ex post, the chapter also deals with the control of merger of undertakings by the Commission as an ex ant competition law enforcement towards notified mergers. The chapter further looks at the main objectives of the competition law and the means the Commission has at its disposal to competition law enforcement. The second chapter briefly describes the...

Landa, Martin ; Mynaříková, Romana (advisor) ; Nigrin, Tomáš (referee)
The Fukushima disaster sparked another series in the continuous German debate over the future of nuclear power and led to a major shift in the country's energy industry. The 2011 decision to abandon nuclear power nevertheless followed only a few months after the announced power plants' operation-extension. The aim of this paper is to examine, whether the CDU/CSU's post-Fukushima gradation reflects any constant developments in the party's policies. The author is looking at how nuclear policy of the Christian parties has been developing since the early stages of technological research in the 1950's until the Fukushima accident in March 2011. The paper outlines the shifts in the party's policy in the general context of German energy industry. This thesis provides an overview of CDU/CSU's approach towards the use of nuclear power and contributes to the understanding of the long- term tendencies behind the "Fukushima reversal."

Legal aspects of network industries and natural monopolies
Šik, Martin ; Handrlica, Jakub (advisor) ; Eichlerová, Kateřina (referee)
1 Summary Key words: Natural monopoly, network industry, energy industry, regulation, liberalization, unbundling, third party access The present thesis sets out to explore the legal aspects of network industries and natural monopolies. It researches these aspects using the example of the energy sector (i.e. the power and gas industries), which is a typical example of a network industry. In terms of its geographical scope, the thesis focuses on the EU energy law and its specific application in the Czech Republic. The fundamental point of departure for the present thesis is a believe that energy law is closely intertwined with economic policy, and is appropriately interpreted only in the context of the concrete measures, tools, and concepts meant to reflect a nation's energy policy. The main driver of energy policy, and hence also of energy law, is a reform of the energy industry aiming at its liberalization. The key tools for its successful implementation are economic regulation, third party access, unbundling, and public administration by independent regulatory bodies. Firstly, the present thesis discusses the economic characteristics of network industries, that is most importantly the existence of a natural monopoly. The second part of the thesis outlines the background of liberalization and the related...
