On 15th June 2003,
55.21% of Czech voters turned out to cast their vote in the
referendum as to whether the Czech Republic should become a member
of the European Union. 77.33% voted
"Yes".
Therefore, from
1 May 2004, the Czech Republic will sit at the heart of the
enlarged European Union. This central location, coupled with a
highly experienced, foreign language speaking workforce, will mean
that the Czech Republic will become the natural choice for many
European companies to locate their logistic and distribution
centres, production and assembly plants and company
headquarters.
Over time
Prague, as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, could well
become a seat for a number of European Union administrative
bodies.
Accession
heralds an exciting time for both those already doing business in
the Czech Republic, and those looking at it as a new investment
possibility. The move will bring with it a myriad of
opportunities and challenges, and my team and I look forward to
guiding our clients expertly through them.
