Hello Cynthia I had a conversation with Jan Sedlacek (director of the certification department at CTU) about this in May of last year. At that time his view was that it would eventually happen but it would be about five years or so before it did. He explained that the reason for the delay was due to the fact that the PSTN in the Czech Republic is made up of a wide variety of equipment, some of which is very old. A modernization scheme is in progress at present and when this is complete, CTU will consider the use of CTR21. In a recent presentation of approvals in the Czech Republic however, Jan stated that the Czech Republic are aiming to adopt the R&TTE Directive at the same time it comes into force in the EU which would tend to contradict his earlier statements. Either way CTR21 is not going to be much use in the Czech Republic in the short term. Hope this helps.
