Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to specify the extent of buy-national policies of the Czech Republic and the impact of opening its
public procurement market to domestic production and employment due to the Europe Agreements of 1995. Two series of indicators
are proposed for measuring the impact of Czech buy-national policies. The first series outlines the behavior of the public
sector vis-à-vis domestic production and imports. The second series sketches the industrial structure of the sectors which,
following the above analysis, seem to be protected by preferential public procurement. The interaction of both series of indicators
can provide information about the level of protection in terms of public procurement on a sectoral level.
