Government Opinion on Parliamentary Print No. 317/0

Processed date: 20.10.2026

Scope: § 24a–§ 73; pages 1–4.

The government has issued a favorable opinion on the bill, which abolishes the Czech Breeding Inspection Authority and transfers its powers to the State Veterinary Administration. However, it recommends considering postponing the merger from April 1, 2027, to January 1, 2028. It points out the need to clarify the rules for inspections, the status of breeding inspectors, the transfer of management and finances, and the terminology used in the proposal. It also requests that the financial impacts be quantified and that related regulations be amended so that the change does not create legal uncertainty.
