Two options advanced for relaxing mining limits

Minister of Industry and Trade Jan Mládek has come up with two options according to which existing mining limits could be relaxed. The options would allow the limits to be relaxed at just the Bílina mine owned by ČEZ company SeveroČeský Doly (SČD) or both it and the ČSA mine owned by Severní Energetiká. Both options would not threaten the demolition of the two towns Horní Jiřetín and Černice which lie on the edge of the exiting limits. Mládek is to continue talks.
