They should be aware that this could happen and that it would have very devastating consequences for these companies. In response to the question of whether European companies should be concerned about retaliatory measures, Puzder replied that "they should be aware that this could happen and that it would have very devastating consequences for these companies." If the goal is to reduce the competitiveness of the United States, I believe that is not a legitimate goal of this kind of legislation. You will not increase the competitiveness of European companies by reducing the competitiveness of American companies. According to Puzder, the U.S. has "top" and "reliable" products in this area. One begins to wonder: Are we trying to deal with competition in the digital market, or are we trying to generate revenue from American companies for the benefit of Europe? #EvropskáKomise #konkurenceschopnost #Starlink (translated)

He added that some who previously served are now serving on the sidelines. #EvropskáKomise #veřejnéfinance #trestnýčin (translated)

Janusz Konieczny stated that the government was preparing a new grant program worth 200 million crowns, from which only businesses with billion-crown revenues or at least 250 employees could benefit. According to him, the conditions would favor Agrofert and other large holdings. He wrote that he began preparing a letter to the European Commission, which was to be sent the following day. He also reminded that at the beginning of the year, the government renewed a program worth 250 million crowns intended for large concerns and that Agrofert would receive the most from it, according to him. Konieczny claimed that representatives of the European Commission told him several years ago that the program for crop and livestock insurance is not intended for large businesses in other EU countries, with the exception of Poland. He explained to the European Commission the differences in farm sizes: the average in the EU was 17 hectares, in Poland 10 to 15 hectares, in Spain 30 hectares, and in the Czech Republic up to 130 hectares. He associated this situation with supporting the largest agricultural holdings. He recalled that eight years ago, he and Michal Bláha, the founder of Hlídač státu, investigated whether Agrofert was receiving subsidies intended for small and medium-sized enterprises. He stated that after two press conferences, Agrofert and other holdings had to return the subsidies and that the courts and the European Commission became involved in resolving the issue. Konieczny thanked Ivan Bartoš and the Association of Private Agriculture, especially its chairman Šebek, for their involvement in this matter. #dotace #zemědělství #EvropskáKomise (translated)
