Czech government lacks concept in construction area - experts
The passing of an amendment to the construction law, which should speed up the planning permission process, is considered a mildly positive step, experts said.
The government did not keep its resolutions in the construction area, Ladislav Mincic of the Chamber of Commerce said. Proposed amendment to the EIA law does not offer a solution to a number of domestic conceptual problems, he stated. On the other hand, Mincic praised the new law on public procurement.
Bohuslav Cizek of the Confederation of Industry said that no significant change can be registered in the results of the construction production and public procurement in construction. He considers the construction law amendment positive, however, the confederation recommends drafting a new bill. The current cabinet has merely put down fires created by the lax and short-sighted attitude of this and previous governments, Cyrrus company analyst Lukas Kovanda said. "It is also why construction remains basically the weakest important link of the Czech economy," he added.
The government has done a lot of work in the area of development and construction, according to the Association of Developers' head Tomas Kaderabek. It is crucial that there has been a shift in the way of thinking of politicians and self-rule authorities representatives whose main idea is no longer to stop any development, he added.
Political parties consider transport infrastructure outdated and their priority is the motorway network completion and high-speed rail construction.
