respirator production line from Taiwan in the Spur company

respirator production line from Taiwan in the Spur company

The fifth respirator production line from Taiwan, which, unlike the previous four, is the Taiwanese cabinet's gift to the Czech cabinet has arrived in Zlin, Deputy Industry and Trade Minister Martina Tauberova tweeted today, on Friday, February 19, 2021. Taipei promised to supply five respirator production lines to Czechia after last September's Taiwanese trip by Czech Senate chairman Milos Vystrcil (opposition Civic Democrats, ODS). The Vystrcil-led Senate delegation's visit to Taiwan was disliked by China, which considers Taiwan its province. The respirator production line, which Taiwan donated to the Czech Republic, arrived in Zlin today...Thanks to the gift, our Technical and Testing Building Institute (TZUS), in cooperation with the Spur company, will secure the production of certified FFP2 respirators, Tauberova wrote.

Prime Minister Andrej Babis gives a briefing on Czech Senate second round elections in Sokolovna Pruhonice, Czech Republic, on Saturday, October 10, 2020. The Mayors and Independents (STAN) clearly won the Senate elections, gaining 11 ouf of the 27 seats contested, ahead of two other opposition parties, the Civic Democrats (ODS) with five seats and the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) with three seats. The Social Democrats (junior government CSSD) did not defend a single of the ten seats it was defending. The CSSD will not even have its own group in the 81-seat upper house anymore because it will have only three senators, while at least five are needed to form a group. The ANO movement of PM Babis got weaker as well because it defended one of the two seats it was defending. TOP 09 will have four senators instead of two. The Pirates, who had only one senator, will have two. Both senators for the Senator 21 movement whose mandate expired defended their seats. The regional Hradec Democratic Club and the marginal Free Citizens Party will have one senator each. (CTK Photo/Michaela Rihova)

The ANO movement of PM Babis got weaker as well because it defended one of the two seats it was defending. TOP 09 will have four senators instead of two. The Pirates, who had only one senator, will have two. Both senators for the Senator 21 movement whose mandate expired defended their seats. The regional Hradec Democratic Club and the marginal Free Citizens Party will have one senator each. (CTK Photo/Michaela Rihova)

Prime Minister Andrej Babis gives a briefing on Czech Senate second round elections in Sokolovna Pruhonice, Czech Republic, on Saturday, October 10, 2020. The Mayors and Independents (STAN) clearly won the Senate elections, gaining 11 ouf of the 27 seats contested, ahead of two other opposition parties, the Civic Democrats (ODS) with five seats and the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) with three seats. The Social Democrats (junior government CSSD) did not defend a single of the ten seats it was defending. The CSSD will not even have its own group in the 81-seat upper house anymore because it will have only three senators, while at least five are needed to form a group.
