REACH: New Community Legal Framework for Chemicals
On 1 June 2007, Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) took effect. The REACH Regulation gradually replaces several existing Community directives and regulations on chemicals and sets a comprehensive Community legal framework for use of chemicals. By strengthening the reporting and evaluation obligations of producers, importers and downstream users, and by setting new mechanisms for enforcing their compliance, the REACH Regulation mainly aims to improve protection of human health and the environment from thousands of chemical substances used by the industry, and to improve the way the internal market functions.
Amendment to the Czech Commercial Code simplifying disposal of a company and associated amendments
The amendment to the Act on Trading in the Capital Market, which was published in March 2006 in the Collection of Laws, significantly amended the Commercial Code and other legal regulations. The change to the Commercial Code considerably simplifies the processes related to transfer of a business or a company’s assets and liabilities and affects the provisions on de-merger of a company. The amendment also contains new, more extensive regulation of the obligations of securities issuers whose securities are to be offered to a broader public range of persons within a public offer of investments securities. The amendment extends the provisions of the Civil Code on consumer contracts to include the new legal regulation of distance contracts for financial services.
Transfers of assets in light of Section 196a(3) of the Czech Commercial Code
