Above all, the Czech government should understand how the various European proposals will affect Czech entrepreneurs. Therefore, it has to build sufficient analytical capacity and then be able to fi nd allies for the Czech position. In terms of substantive priorities, the most crucial thing will be to secure enough money for the green transformation of the Czech economy — unlike other countries, we have neglected a number of changes, so it will be more challenging for us now. But suppose we can get through this change. In that case, it will fi nally bring (along with digitalisation) the long-promised end to the cheap economy. The Czech Republic should also insist on cutting bureaucracy and unnecessarily burdensome legislative rules. But this applies not only to Brussels but also to Prague.
