Sale of Key Czech Mining Company Collapses

Summary/Abstract: Seven months after it began, the sale of the largest Czech mining company has collapsed. The government’s decision to halt the privatization of Severoceske doly marks the end of the latest major tender to raise questions about the transparency of government decision-making. It also probably marks the end of an attempt to protect the Czech mining industry from competitive pressures ahead of EU membership.
