PRAGUE, Oct 31 (Reuters) - The Czech anti-monopoly
office UOHS on Thursday rejected appeals against a tender run by
majority state-owned utility CEZ  CEZP.PR  that chose South
Korea's KHNP as the preferred bidder to build new nuclear power
units.
    UOHS said it had either stopped proceedings or rejected
proposals brought in appeals by U.S. group Westinghouse and
France's EDF, which had both challenged the tender. It said the
parties could still appeal the office's decisions, which were
not final.
