Prime Minister Necas said after the cabinet meeting yesterday that he is prepared to block the EU banking union if controversial proposals that would threaten the Czech financial system are not addressed. If the union were proposed in its current form, he said, the CR would undoubtedly veto it. Necas also indicated that the vote in Parliament on the tax package that should be jointed with no confidence vote might not come until after the ODS party congress on Nov. 3-4.
