Small-scale Projects of Euroregion Nisa- Neisse- Nysa as a new Dimension of Cross-border Cooperation
Dvořáková, Michaela ; Stracený, Josef (advisor) ; Jirásková, Věra (referee)
Michaela Dvořáková ABSTRACT The primary aim of the Diploma Thesis is to introduce an interest association called euroregion, which is a relatively new form of cross-border cooperation. The core part of the paper is dedicated to Euroregion Neisse-Nisa-Nysa. This association is studied from different perspectives, which embrace its foundation, development, legal definition, organization structure, financing, institutional interests, purpose and mainly the issue of Small Project Fund. The practical part of the thesis is focused on the analysis of amount of finances, cooperating subjects and the number of realized projects in individual subsidy programmes, in which the Small Project Fund participated. The preference of Czech municipalities on small projects is supported with an analysis and closing questionnaire survey.

Vztah metodických doporučení a zákona o zadávání veřejných zakázek při zadání zakázek v rámci projektů ESI fondů
Pantůčková, Veronika
The area of public procurement funded by the European Structural and Investment Funds is interwoven with many material and formal sources of law that the contracting authority must follow. The ambiguous hierarchy of legally binding standards has adverse consequences for contracting authorities. The aim of this thesis is to give an explanation of the links between the legal regulations of these contracts, in which the problems associated with these uncertainties lie and, on this basis, submit proposals for possible solutions to the given issue. The theoretical part of the thesis explains the basic concepts such as the contracting authority or the concept of public support within the EU. In this section there are also mentioned the formal and material sources of law related to the examined topic and the interconnection of the national legislation is explained. The practical part is devoted to the impact of ambiguity in the legal regulations of procurement in the Czech Republic, ie possible sanctions, in case of any of the errors made by the contracting authority, when these facts are demonstrated on actual cases. At the end of the thesis there are outlined the potential starting points for avoiding the negative consequences of wrongly processed and subsequently implemented public procurement, which was supported by EU funds.

Rendla, Luboš ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Résumé: Protection of financial interests of the EU in Czech criminal law The aim of this thesis is to introduce the issue of protection of the financial interests of the EU by means of criminal law, which has yet to be dealt with in a comprehensive manner. The introductory chapters describe the justification for the requirement to create common standards for protection of the EU general budget, or budgets managed by or on behalf of the EU, together with a brief history of the legislation of this legal institute at the level of the European Communities. The individual provisions of the Convention on the Protection of the Financial Interests of the EC and its Implementing Protocols are interpreted in detail with an emphasis on some persistent unclear points in the interpretation. The next chapter analyses the need for transposition of this EU regulation into the Czech legal system and describes an actual course of this transposition. The main focus of the thesis is the following analysis of the national criminal law de lege lata. The characteristics of the merits of criminal offences according to a special part of the Criminal Code are interpreted in detail, including their mutual relation in terms of the admissibility of the single-action concurrence. Particular attention is paid to the crime of harming...

Influence of the European Commission on the Adoption of the Public Service Law in the Czech Republic
Havelka, Vít ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
The master's thesis focuses on the role of the European Commission in the adoption of the Public Service Law (zákon č. 234/2014 Sb., o státní službě) in the Czech Republic. Its goal is to identify particular European Commission's tools of influence and their utilisation in the analysed case. The case study puts stress not only on hard methods (such as ex ante conditionality), but also on soft forms of influence (e.g. socialisation or persuasion). The Commission's tools were sorted according to Frank Schimmelfennig and Ulrich Sedelmeier's typology: 1) External-Incentive-Model; 2) Social-Learning- Model and 3) Lesson-Drawing-Model. The thesis combines two methodological approaches - process tracing and discursive analysis of relevant Czech actors. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and publically accessible documents.

Analysis of role of the EU outermost regions within their country and within their development funding from EU Structural funds
Vaculík, Jan ; Pělucha, Martin (advisor) ; Kouřilová, Jana (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to identify basic characteristics related to position of the outermost regions of the member states of the EU within EU development policies. These regions are evaluated from the point of view including allocated funding within Structural Funds (SF) and European Structural and Investments Funds during the programming periods of 2000-2006, 2007-2013, and 2014-2020, content of the operational programmes, and basic economic indicators. The outermost regions shows lower values of GDP per capita than European regions of the same country while showing higher allocated funding per capita than the European regions of the same country. The outermost regions also shows constantly growing GDP per capita at least from 2000 while the SF and ESIF allocated funding for the regions decreases. These findings are predictable. Interesting finding is that while the regional GDP of the outermost regions increases investments efforts do not shift towards soft projects. The investments efforts show steadily hard project implementation activities and increasing ratio of environmental projects, which are mostly hard projects. This finding creates space for improving concept of more developed regions focusing of soft projects and less developed regions focusing on hard projects.
