Prunéřov – Continually repeating declaration of ecological activists and similar people regarding the planned complex refurbishment of the Prunéřov II power plant is full of fallacious statements.

ČEZ also acts upon the valid legislation of the Czech Republic and legal regulations of the European Union. Because it is not possible to do otherwise.
