‘Czech Republic lobbies EU to keep large company subsidies’

A European Commission proposal to reduce incentives for large companies with more than 250 staff has not been welcomed by the Czech Republic. Nor is it to the taste of Poland, Slovakia or the Baltic States.
At a meeting of the EU Competitiveness Council on February 19 in Brussels, representatives of these countries will argue to keep these industry subsidies — notably incentives for investment by large companies.
