Some significant flood events that have occurred in various European countries in the last decade are described. They are used to illustrate the widespread nature of flooding, its economic impact and the resultant loss of life. The underlying hydro-meteorological causes of each flood are outlined, followed by a brief chronology of the flood event and the subsequent consequences. The flood events have been drawn from countries with differing climatic conditions, and from river basins that differ in both size and topography. The selection includes floods from the following countries: the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland and the UK. The events include examples of both flash floods and slower basin-wide floods. The important lessons that may be drawn from these events are highlighted, as are the economic impacts such floods might have in the future due to climate change.

This paper pays attention to and analyses two of the economic impacts of the BSE occurrence in the Czech Republic, namely the financial compensations to the farmers whose herds had been affected and the costs of animal killing and carcass disposal in the rendering plant. Between February 2001 and the end of June 2008, a total of 1 263 749 cows were examined and 28 cases of the BSE were detected. Consequently, 4 022 cows in cohorts were killed and their carcasses were safely disposed of. The farmers whose herds had been affected were provided compensations for the losses suffered. The total of the compensations in this period reached CZK 198,413 thousand. Of these, 83.3% (CZK 164.9 million) were compensations for the value of the killed animals, 9.7% (CZK 19.2 million) for the related costs, i.e., killing, safe disposal of carcasses and the examination for the BSE, and 6.9% (CZK 13.5 million) for the losses due to non-materialised production. The average costs per 1 BSE-positive animal were CZK 7.08 million and the average costs per 1 cohort animal were CZK 49 331. In the rendering plant responsible for killing the infected and cohort animals and safely disposing of their carcasses, the total of 2 221 tons of raw material was processed between March 2003 and February 2008, and this cost CZK 9 315 thousand. The fact that there were only two cases of the BSE in 2007 and none in 2008 suggests a trend towards the disease eradication, which is in agreement with the situation in the other EU countries.

Cigarette Taxation

This paper presents the analysis of economic impacts of cigarette taxation development in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic in the period corresponding with the membership of both countries in the European Union, precisely from May 2004 until January 2016. After introduction focusing on the issue of cigarette taxation and the overview of the international scientific research in this area, the authors focus on the analysis of cigarette taxation increase in both of the countries. Then the analysis of cigarette taxation impacts on expenses of selected types of households on consumption of tobacco products in the analyzed period is provided, using the methods of correlation and regression analysis. Finally, the results from the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic are compared. Dealing with tax rates in EURO, it is obvious, that the increase of cigarette taxation was higher in the Czech Republic than in the Slovak Republic in the period 2004 – 2016. However, the expenditures of households on tobacco products consumption in both of the countries have not been decreasing.
