Comparative Analysis of the Electronization of Public Administration in Selected EU Member States with a Focus on the Implementation of EU ETS

This thesis analyzes the implementation of the EU emission trading scheme (EU ETS) in comparison with the electronization of public administration, the level of development of information society, and the approach to the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in selected EU member states (the Czech republic, Slovakia, France, Italy, the United Kingdom). The main subject of this thesis is, whether the process of the implementation of EU ETS fits into the general conceptions of e-government in selected countries, or whether it stands individually. The EU system of emission trading is an european e-government service, and that is also the reason why its implementation depends significantly on the maturity of use of information and communication technologies within public administration in selected countries. This thesis is divided into three main sections, the first chapter contains the comparative analysis of the level of development of the electronization of public administration in selected countries, the second chapter contains the analysis of available information about the implementation of EU ETS in these states, and the third chapter compares the results from both previous sections, and contains the answers to the main questions mentioned above.
