new barriers have been identified. This is why the original Action Plan has been updated. By its Resolution No. 694 of 24 October 2018, the Government discussed the report regarding the implementation of the Action Plan. The aim of the submitted document entitled Action Plan 2.0 to implement non-subsidy measures to support the planning and development of electronic communications networks (hereinafter referred to as the “Action Plan 2.0”) is to identify the most pressing issues and barriers to the development and operation of electronic communications networks that are currently the most limiting factors to investments in such networks. At the same time, the document proposes measures that should lead to the elimination of identified problems in the field of planning and development of electronic communications networks; it is also necessary to proceed in accordance with the public aid rules and in the case a cumulative fulfilment of defining features of public aid is identified, to apply relevant legal regulations in the given area. The issue was discussed in detail with the Czech Telecommunication Office (with regard to its scope of competence) and with professional associations or associations covering entrepreneurs in electronic communications. The results of the round table held on 29 May 2019 that was also attended by representatives of relevant ministries and public administration authorities, the Association of Regions of the Czech Republic, the Association of Towns and Municipalities of the Czech Republic, the Association of Local Authorities of the Czech Republic and representatives of associations of entrepreneurs active in electronic communications have also been included in Action Plan 2.0.
