Chamber of Deputies approves digital economy law, Czechia faces court proceedings over delay
Published
The Chamber of Deputies has approved a law on the digital economy. The law is intended to regulate rules for digital services and online business.
However, the approval came late. Czechia was supposed to adopt these rules by a set deadline arising from European Union law. Because of the delay, the country now faces court proceedings, which the European Commission may initiate.
The European Union expects member states to transpose its rules into their national law on time. If a state fails to do so, the Commission may start proceedings against it. This procedure is called infringement proceedings under European Union law.
The law now awaits further steps in the legislative process. The Senate will also consider it, and it must then be signed by the President of the Republic. Only after that can the law take effect.
Details of the content of the law and of when court proceedings could begin are not yet available. Readers should follow further reports on this topic.
