Newly elected Czech MEPs met at Prague House for the first time

The MEPs met with prominent representatives of the Czech community in Brussels and were introduced to the work of regional representations in Prague, the South Moravian Region and the Pilsen Region who jointly organized this event.

The distinguished guests were welcomed at the Prague House by Jan Chabr, Chairman of the Energy Committee of the Prague City Assembly: „I am glad that almost all newly elected MEPs from across the parties attended the meeting. Most of the legislation that is subsequently implemented into the Czech legal system is produced within the European institutions. Many these regulations then have a direct impact on the functioning and life of Czech regions and municipalities. My appeal to MEPs in this regard was unequivocal: they should also discuss amendments to the individual proposals that will be discussed at a meeting with representatives of the regions and municipalities from which they come. Many measures are sometimes met with a lack of understanding and an inability to explain them sufficiently and to put them into practice. For the City of Prague, I believe that during this term of the European Parliament and the Commission, we will be able to obtain several funds for the development of Prague's transport infrastructure, as well as for the challenges in the energy sector and the modernisation of the heating industry.“
