Abstract
The European Commission proposed in the autumn 2017 new regulation on screening of foreign direct investments into the EU. This is the first EU initiative in this field because investment screening has been until now the domain of the EU Member States.
The state reflect the current situation. On the one hand, the half of Member States does screening in various forms.
On the other, the second half has no screening mechanism. This is also the case of the Czech Republic.
The goal of this contribution to analyse selected aspects of the Commission's proposal and to assess the situation in the Czech Republic as well which could use the emerging debate in the EU for consideration over an introduction of own national mechanism for screening of foreign investments.
