Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek visited Austria in January. One of the topics Topolanek discussed in Vienna was joining of the Schengen area without border checks by some European Union member states, including the Czech Republic. Topolanek also discussed with Austrian Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer the Czech-Austrian inter-parliamentary commission on the safety of the south Bohemian nuclear power plant Temelin. Both presidents stressed the importance of its work. The question of Temelin is one of the topics Austrian representatives have raised in talks with their Czech partners for a long time. Temelin, situated some 60 kilometres from the Austrian border, has long been criticised by some Austrian and Czech environmentalists as well as some Austrian politicians as unsafe. They say that the Czech Republic is not fulfilling the Melk agreement from 2000 in which the Czech side pledged to constantly upgrade Temelin's safety and regularly provide information on Temelin to Austria. On the other hand, the two countries' government offices point out that the Czech Republic and Austria are each other's biggest trade partners and that the countries are interested in further development of economic relations.
