Internal security activities are based on analyses of the status and trends for crime and security risks. They are aimed at combating organised crime, corruption, serious economic crime, intellectual property crime, illegal migration, the illegal drugs trade and expressions of racism and xenophobia. A range of legislative measures are under preparation with significant benefits from (resulting from screening talks) the new Czech police Act, Security Organisation Employment Act, Weapon and Ammunition Act and the Witness Protection Act. The preparation of the new administration code is an integral part of a reform of the whole area of administration management and punishment. The code of practice for the Act on Crisis Management and Integrated Rescue System together with the Act form an area that has not yet been legally regulated (and it is a key issue relating to the security of persons and property). The Draft factual intent for establishment of financial police is being prepared, the projects aimed at combating economic crime are directed towards establishing higher numbers of competent staff of the Czech police specialised departments. On-going international co-operation is very important, with the Czech Republic's preparations for the EU accession. Implementation of Schengen Agreements in the Czech Republic is considered to be crucial. The ministries concerned will continue to work towards establishing a crime prevention system.
