Four recommendations for the Czech Republic

The European Commission responded positively to the criticism by some member countries and social dialogue partners and published an analysis of the economic challenges the member countries are facing. In the so-called Country reports, the Commission pointed out the weak points and small progress in some areas.

As to the Czech Republic, the Commission evaluated the progress degree in a series of partial fields, reduced the number of recommendations and focused on four important areas. In the next future, the Czech Republic should:

·         Reach a fiscal correlation at a 0,5% level in 2016. Improve the cost effectiveness and administration of healthcare.

·         Reduce a high tax burden for the low-income working people in transferring the tax burden in other areas.

·         Adopt a tertiary education reform. Guaratee the proper training of the teachers and support the schools achieving poor results.
