Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic supports the direction of simplification, however we are of the opinion that even greater pragmatism, legal certainty and consideration of the practical realities of industrial production at key points are necessary, so that the taxonomy can serve as functional means of supporting sustainable investments.
The Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic welcomes this initiative to increase competitiveness. Among other things, we see the following four problematic points: 1) Unification of concepts and their legal definition (definition).
The Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic (SP ČR) has long supported reducing the regulatory burden and the systematic assessment of the cumulative impacts of European digital legislation. The Digital Fitness Check initiative could be an appropriate instrument to identify overlaps, inconsistencies, and disproportionate administrative requirements. However, we fundamentally disagree with its current timing.

On behalf of the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic, we would like to submit the following comments and recommendations regarding the revision of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008. We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the consultation process and hope that our input will be helpful in refining the final version of the proposal. 1.
The opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) concerning substances classified as carcinogens, germ cell mutagens or reproductive toxicants and subject to restrictions is welcomed. The European Unions objectives of protecting human health and ensuring regulatory alignment with updated harmonised classifications are fully supported.
The initiative to strengthen the EU defence single market and reduce fragmentation is strongly supported. Enhancing joint procurement, improving interoperability and reinforcing the European defence technological and industrial base are essential steps towards greater strategic autonomy and operational readiness by 2030.
