The law is in the Senate

The Act on public procurement which is the Upper Chamber of the Czech Parliament foresees an identification of ultimate beneficial owners of the selected contractor which is a legal person. Nevertheless, it does not prescribe the way in which the indirect interests in the company, i.e. the corporate ownership structure, linking those beneficial owners to the contracting legal person, should be disclosed. This issue is neither resolved in the section on the register of beneficial owners contained in the amendment of the Act on anti-money laundering, or respectively, in the Act on public procurement which is in the Lower Chamber of the Parliament.
