These risks are mitigated by hedging transactions based on the C 5 ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENTS The main development trends of the Unipetrol Group include the development and increase of petrochemical production, integration of refinery assets, involvement in low-emission energy, hydrogen and circular economies, consistent development of retail sales and strengthening the leading position in the retail market of fuel sales in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia. Furthermore, it puts emphasis on a strong R&D background and the introduction of innovations that will support all areas of activities on a sound financial basis. The main tasks for 2020 include n, as well as the marketing and sale of the product portfolio of the newly launched PE3 polyethylene unit in 6 EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE In the period from 1 January 2020 until the time this report was prepared, no occurrences other than the usual course of business affected the expected development. In the period from 1 January 2020, the following changes were made in statutory representatives: Position Name Change Date of change Statutory representative Marek Kaszuba Termination of position 13 January 2020 Statutory representative Termination of position 14 January 2020 Statutory representative Ryszard Pilch Elected into the office 27 January 2020 Statutory representative Adam Jarosz Elected into the office 18 February 2020 UNIPETROL RPA, s.r.o. 5 7 OTHERINFORMATION 7.1 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development in the Unipetrol Group is focused primarily on the areas, which are crucial for further development of the Group and are in accordance with its strategy. The Company still faces new challenges arising from changing legislative rules. The main areas of interest are therefore biofuels, hydrogen for mobility, alternative raw materials for the production of fuels and polymers and the associated circular economy. All of these areas are closely linked to national and European objectives, which require permanent reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases and sustainable development of the refinery and petrochemical industries. Unipetrol continues to be intensively engaged in improving energy efficiency, looking for the options of reducing the consumption of primary sources of energy and energy recovery. The topics addressed are fully in line with the ORLEN Group strategy. Unipetrol covers the above basic segments primarily in its research institutions: Unipetrol Research and Education Centre (UniCRE) and the PIB branch (Polymer Institute Brno). UniCRE focuses on the production of biofuels and their impact on quality of fuels. It intensively focuses on the selection of appropriate raw materials and their qualitative evaluation, searching for optimal technologies and preparation and evaluation of operational tests, both in test laboratory units as well as real technologies. In particular, the processing of pure vegetable oils and used cooking oils has been examined in the long term with very positive results. Assessment of the impact on catalyst systems forms an integral part of its activities. Testing of catalytic converters of selected production processes is an area where UniCRE has had a long-term expertise and a wealth of knowledge. In 2019 an ACE unit was acquired, which is used to assess and optimise the FCC units within the ORLEN Group. At present, pyrolysis of waste plastics and hence the production of alternative raw materials for other processes is a very dynamically developing research area. This process is an important part of circular economy the objective of which is to use waste materials as the raw material for further processing. This area is very important for Unipetrol, which is a significant producer of plastics. Future sustainability of the production of these materials depends on these issues. Other activity areas include optimisation of the pyrolysis process, the use of renewable raw materials and advanced inorganic materials. The PIB focuses on polymer research. It also continues to develop the product portfolio of polypropylene and polyethylene. In 2019 there was a significant development of the testing infrastructure also thanks to the testing of the new PE3 unit. PIB employees provide wide UNIPETROL RPA, s.r.o. 6 The PIB continues to focus on the monitoring of monomer quality, acquisition of the necessary certifications, testing and development of catalysers. Important tasks in 2019 as well as in 2020 include support of the commencement of activities of the PE3 unit and further stabilisation of operations and evaluation of the production. Another area includes the project of the PLA production within the ORLEN Group as a component improving biodegradability of polymers, which is also manufactured from renewable materials. Unipetrol continues to be intensively involved in cooperation with universities and research institutions. The main partners in this area include the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague with which it has implemented many research projects. The University Centre of the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague - Unipetrol is located directly within the - have the opportunity to choose from a wide range theses and dissertations. Together with UniCRE and the University Centre, Unipetrol provides many educational activities both for secondary schools and universities. Increasing the awareness of research and devel Other institutions of higher education, which are involved in cooperation include Czech Technical University in Prague, Brno University of Technology, Technical University of Liberec, Jan Even . Unipetrol is also engaged in R&D cooperation with entities abroad. The main activities in research and development in 2020 will include the production of biofuels and the purchase and commissioning of a pilot unit for pyrolysis of waste plastics. Stabilisation of the PE3 unit and the development of the product portfolio will be a key task in the production of polymers.

  • 1. Mission, Vision and Objectives of the Unipetrol Group
    1. Mission, vision and objectives of the Unipetrol Group Introduction Unipetrol is the leading refinery and petrochemical group in the Czech Republic and a major player in Central and Eastern Europe; since 2005 it has been part of Central Europe’s largest refining and petrochemical group, PKN Orlen. Unipetrol Mission: We strive to ensure long-term and permanent value growth for our shareholders. We want to achieve this by focusing on three strategic business segments: • Crude oil refining and wholesale • Petrochemical production • Retail distribution of motor fuels The company’s main goals in 2009 One of the top priorities will be to increase profitability through strict cash management and working capital reductions. With regard to the current economic crisis, the management of Unipetrol is preparing further operating cost cuts and capital expenditure reductions. The company is planning to modify its product portfolio, which will feature fewer types of polyethylene and polypropylene, and to enter into product swaps with PKN Orlen. Unipetrol also intends to launch fuels with a higher added value, such as aviation fuel kerosene, and promote a more competitive pricing policy. Other goals include completion of the expansion of available capacities and production volumes. Code of Conduct The members of the Unipetrol Group are aware of their responsibility to all the stakeholders – their employees, customers, shareholders, trade and social partners, and the public. Therefore, with the Code of Conduct we commit to clear principles, which form the basis for our business and social conduct and for forming corporate culture in the Unipetrol Group companies. The Unipetrol Group observes laws, directives, internal policies, and ethical values in all business areas.

  • Informality Reigns the Country: the Case of the Czech Republic1
    inForMALitY reiGns tHe CoUntrY: tHe CAse oF tHe CZeCH rePUBLiC1 Nicole Gallina Criminal networks have infiltrated the Czech justice system. Czech Security Information Services BIS, 2007 Abstract: This work focuses on informal politics for the political elite level in the Czech Republic and proposes an actor-based view. It considers the relationship between formal and informal structures and the functions of informality. I analyse areas highly affected by informality: the justice system and anti-corruption agencies as well as state ministries and state monopolies distributing large amounts of money, and identify patterns of informality. Additionally, the work shows the effect of informality for the European level. The work concludes with a rather pessimistic view on the effects of informal politics in a democratic country. Keywords: Informality, Political Elite, Justice System, (anti-)Cor- ruption, the Czech Republic Introduction At least 200 Czech state prosecutors sighed with relief at the end of October 2010: Finally, the general state prosecutor, Renata Ves- ecká had resigned from her office. This would finally put an end to the instrumentalisation of the state prosecution. The destructive informal networks that had developed between the state prosecu- tion and politics had used the justice and political system for their personal gains, and impeded independent agencies from fulfilling their function as control institutions. The Czech Republic has some democratic traditions; however it is still a country in transition. One important aspect is that the for- malisation of politics and of the political system is outweighed in certain situations – for instance, should future possibilities arise to generate financial gain or power advantages.

The country did not ordered the Government to ban gold production in the produce metal ore, and the Government faced opposition to Czech Republic. This measure was proposed by the Parliament gold projects owing to environmental concerns. The country Committee on Environment in response to requests for mining produced crude steel, pig iron, rolled and semimanufactured licenses to mine gold in 13 towns, including Eseniki, which is steel products, and secondary lead and aluminum metals located in northern Moravia, and the Kashper Mountains. The in 2014. Mineral fuel production included coal, which was committee recommended that the Government keep intact the important to the country’s domestic and regional markets; decree issued in 1999. The decree states that gold production uranium, which was consumed predominantly at domestic and processing are undesirable activities because of their nuclear powerplants; and a small amount of crude oil and environmental impact.
