Na 12. sjednici Zupanijske skup5tine Primorsko-goranske Zupanije (lipanj 2018.) odrZana je tematska rasprava o provedbi projekta Centra za gospodarenje otpadom Mari5óina (CZGO) i poslovanju trgovaökog dru5tva Ekoplus d.o.o. (dalje TD Ekoplus ili Druötvo). U ovom materijalu dijelom je ponovljena i dijelom nadopunjena informacija o provedbi projekta iz materijala od lipnja2018. zbog vaZnosti obrazlqäenja uloge dionika u provedbi piojekta, a dodatno su navedene aktivnosti od tematske sjednice Zupanijske skupötine iz lipnja do danas. i ll 1. Provedba projekta Gentra za gospodarenje otpadom frnari5óìna Zakonom o odrZivom gospodarenju otpadom (,,Narodne novine" br. 94113 ¡ 73117), stavkom 23. stavkom 2. odredeno je da gospodarenje otpadom i uðinkovitost gospodarenja otpadom osíguravaju Vlada i Ministarstvo propisivanjem mjera gospodarenja otpadom, dok je stavkom 3. istog ölanka odredeno da je jedinica lokalne i podruöne (regionalne) samouprave duZna na svom podruöju osigurati uvjete i provedbu propisanih mjera gospodarenja otpadom, te da vi5e jedinica lokalne i podruöne (regionalne) samouprave mogu sporazumno osigurati zajedniöku provedbu mjera gospodarenja otpadom. Jednako tako, propisano je da je gospodarenje komunalnim otpadom u nadleZnosti jedinica lokalne samouprave, kojima je ovaj Zakon, u odnosu na prethodne, dao i znaöajno viöe obveza, posebice u pogledu osiguranja smanjenja koliöine otpada, njegova odvojenog prikupljanja te edukacije stanovniötva s tim u vezi. Jedinice lokalne samouprave imaju obvezu dono5enja svojih planova gospodarenja otpadom, dok takva obveza za Zupanije viðe nüe propisana. Gradovi i opóine obvezni su i godiönje izvje5óivati o provedbi drZavnoga Plana gospodarenja otpadom na svome podruöju. 2 lstim Zakonom, ölankom 83., kao i ranijim zakonima o otpadu, odredeno je da je gradenje gradevina za gospodarenje otpadom od interesa za Republiku Hrvatsku. Projekt izgradnje centra za gospodarenje otpadom Mariðóina utvrden je temeljem ranijih dokumenata gospodarenja otpadom drZavne razine - Strategijom i Planom gospodarenja otpadom Republike Hrvatske koji su prvotno predvidali izgradnju takvih centara u svakoj Zupaniji, da bi se kasnije odabrao pristup izgradnje manjeg broja, konkretno 13 regionalnih centara. Centar je bio osnova i Plana gospodarenja otpadom Primorsko-goranske Zupanije za razdobl¡e 2007.-2015. godine, odnosno uspostave integralnog sustava gospodarenja otpadom na podruöju Primorsko-goranske Zupanije PGZ), kao njezin financijski i tehnoloðki najzahtjevniji dio. Novi Plan gospodarenja otpadom Republike Hrvatske za razdoblje 2017-2022. godine (,,Narodne novine" brq 3117) stupio je snagu 05. 01 . 2017. godine. Navedeni Plan, uskladen s Europskom komisijom, i dalje sustav gospodarenja komunalnim otpadom temelji na regionalnim centrima za gospodarenje otpadom. U tome Planu izrijekom je naveden Centar Mari5óina u Primorsko-goranskoj Zupaniji, kapaciteta 100.000 t, kao prvi izgradeni centar za gospodarenje otpadom u Republici Hrvatskoj. U razdoblju od 2003. do 2008. godine Primorsko-goranska Zupanija i sve jedinice lokalne samouprave potpisale su Sporazume o uredenju odnosa u Integralnom sustavu zbrinjavanja komunalnog i neopasnog otpada na podruöju Primorsko-goranske Zupanije (u prilozima 1do 4). ll 2. Financiranje projekta izgradnje centra za gospodarenje otpadom Mariõéina U sklopu pripreme za kandidiranje Projekta CZGO ,,Mari5óina" u okviru lnstrumenta za pretpristupnu pomoó (program IPA lllb) izradena je tehniöka dokumentacija, studija izvedivosti i projektna aplikacija. Nakon odobrenja projekta od strane Europske komisije, Republika Hrvatska i Europska komisija zakljuöili su u lipnju 2009. godine Dvostrani sporazum o Projektu (Bilateral Project Agreement) CCI BR:2007HR161PR001 (Prilog 5) s odobrenim sufinanciranjem izgradnje CZGO Mari5óina u iznosu od 8.604.900 EUR. U oZujku 2011. godine potpisan je Dodatak Dvostranog ugovora o Projektu na izmijenjeni iznos sufinanciranja od 22.231.1 15 EUR. (Prilog 6). U sijeönju 2013. godine potpisan 2. Dodatak Dvostranog sporazuma kojim se poveóava iznos sufinanciranja na iznos od 25.889.613 EUR (Prilog 7). Sporazumom je utvrdeno da je: . tljelo odgovorno za prijavu: Ministarstvo za5tite okoliða, prostornog uredenja i graditeljstva . krajnji korisnik: Fond za energetsku uöinkovitost izaötitu okoliöa (FZOEU) o krajnji primatelj pomoói: EKOPLUS d.o.o. po dovr5etku projekta objekt preuzima na upravljanje. 3 Fond za za5titu okoliöa i energetsku uöinkovitost je pritom nominiran kao Provedbeno Tijelo (odnosno Naruöitelj po FIDIC terminologiji). Glavna uloga Fonda je da koordinira, nadgleda, vodi i evaluira sve aspekte implementacije IPA projekata u sektoru gospodarenja otpadom. To ukljuöuje generalno vodenje projekta, financijsku administraciju, sva odobrenja te nadgledanje lzvodaöeva napretka. Voditelj Projekta je imenovan od strane Fonda iodluöuje o svim formalnim ugovornim pitanjima vezanim na projekt te je na öelu Odbora za vodenje projekta. Odbor za vodenje projekta nadgleda provodenje projekta, saöinjavaju ga predstavnici Fonda za za5titu okoli5a i energetsku uöinkovitost, Ministarstva za5tite okoliöa i prirode te TD Ekoplusa. Voditelj Projekta djeluje u suglasnosti sa ostalim ölanovima Odbora, ali zadräava odgovornost za generalno vodenje i dono5enje odluka. Ministarstvo za5tite okolisa i prirode je tijelo odgovorno za provedbu IPA lllB komponente i odgovorno za svrhu i izvr5enie projekta na nacionalnoj razini te sudjeluje u Odboru za vodenje projekta. Ekoplus d.o.o. sudjeluje u radu Odbora za vodenje projekta. Ekoplus ima aktivnu ulogu operatera postrojenja nakon zavr5etka gradnje. Uloga lnvestitora prema hrvatskom zakonu je takoder dodijeljena Ekoplusu koji je podnio zahtjeve i ishodio gradevinske dozvole, ali generalno ulogu vodenja projekta i odluöivanja zadrZava Vod itelj Projekta FZOEU-a. U razdoblju od 17. prosinca 2013. do 17. listopada 2014. godine provedena je nacionalna revizija uõinkovitosti gospodarenja otpadom na podruöju svih Zupanija RH pa tako a PGZ. Pritom nije bila niti jedna primjedba glede modela i naöina provedbe gradnje CZGO Mari5óina. Prema aplikaciji odnosno Dvostranom sporazumu projekt se odvija kroz 4 faze i zahtijeva ukupna oöekivana ulaganja od 87,8 milijuna EUR. Prve tri faze su u provedbi: Faza 0 se odnosi na pripremne radove i financira se lokalnim sredstvima (sufinancirano je i drZavnim sredstvima); Faza 1 koja se odnosi na CZGO se sufinancira EU sredstvima, aFaza 2 se odnosi na izgradnju pretovarnih stanica drZavnim i lokalnim sredstvima. PosljednjaFaza 3 se odnosi na pro5irenje kapaciteta kada bude potrebno i trenutno nije u provedbi (vidljivo u tablici u toöki 14. Dodatka Dvostranog sporazuma 2013.). Projekt CZGO (Faza 1) se reahzirao sredstvima EU 70,95o/o, nacionalnim sufinanciranjem Fonda za za5titu okoliða i energetsku uöinkovitost 5,sYo te lokalnim sufinanciranjem kreditom i proraöunskim sredstvima (Ekoplus, PGZ, Grad Rijeka) 23,55Vo. Sufinanciranjem su obuhvaóeni sljedeói ugovori zakqeje postupak javne nabave provodio FZOEU: .

  • Croatian Kuna: Money, Or Just a Currency? Evidence from the Interbank Market
    Davor Mance, Bojana Olgic Drazenovic, and Stella Suljic Nikolaj. 2019. Croatian Kuna: Money, or just a Currency? Evidence from the Interbank Market. UTMS Journal of Economics 10 (2): 149–161. Original scientific paper (accepted November 6, 2019) CROATIAN KUNA: MONEY, OR JUST A CURRENCY? EVIDENCE FROM THE INTERBANK 1 MARKET Davor Mance2 Bojana Olgic Drazenovic Stella Suljic Nikolaj Abstract Modern sovereign money is accepted as an institution in virtue of the collective intentionality of the acceptance of the sovereign status function declaration it being the official currency of a country. A status function declaration may not create money it may only create a currency. How does one test the fact that an official currency also has all the properties of money? We propose a rather simple test based on the Granger causality of the acceptance of a currency in virtue of money if, and only if, the allocation function of its market interest rate is not rejected. This condition is fulfilled if the interest rate is its genuine allocator. This is the case if the changes in quantity cause the change in the interest rate as a price of money i.e. its true opportunity cost. We find that market interest rate changes are Granger caused by changes in quantities of traded euros on the overnight banking market but not by changes in the quantity of traded Croatian kuna. Thus, the Croatian kuna is only the domestic currency of Croatia, and the euro is its true money. Keywords: money functions, euroization, ZIBOR, Granger causality. Jel Classification: E31; E43; E47; E52; G17 INTRODUCTION The fact that we call something “money” is observer relative: it only exists relative to its users and relative to the users’ perspective considering something a money.

Based on that, and taking into account Croatia's close ties to the euro area, we es- timate that the introduction of the euro, due to lower transac- tion costs, easier price comparison and currency risk reduc- tion, might provide a small boost to Croatian trade in goods and services, particularly in tourism, and encourage foreign investment.

    Geography of Development of Eastern Europe A GEOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF EASTERN EUROPE WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON POLAND, CROATIA, AND UKRAINE By Kathryn E. Dyas Advised by Professor Benjamin Funston-Timms GEOG 461, 462 Senior Project Social Sciences Department College of Liberal Arts CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE UNIVERSITY Spring, 2014 ii Table of Contents Research Proposal iii Annotated Bibliography iv Outline x Geography of Development of Eastern Europe 1 Chapter One: Introduction 1 Chapter Two: Poland, the Example 5 Chapter Three: Croatia, the Newcomer 20 Chapter Four: Ukraine, the One in Crisis 34 Chapter Five: Comparisons and Conclusions 48 Works Cited 53 iii Research Proposal My goal for this senior project is to evaluate the long-standing effects the geography of development has had on specific countries in Eastern Europe. I will examine and analyze the political, cultural, and geographic nature that has affected the history and development of Poland, Croatia, and Ukraine. Specifically, I will focus on the influence socialism, communism, and the Soviet Union as a whole, had on Eastern Europe and why it has affected the progress (either negatively, positively, or both) of the Eastern states. I will assess the affect the European Union has on the Eastern world of Europe and how a currency change to the Euro could affect developmental progress. I will explicitly utilize development theories to demonstrate the differences in progress between the three countries where Poland is most progressive, then Croatia, and ending with Ukraine. There will be an introduction, separate chapters on each country, and a comparison chapter, along with a conclusion.

  • Integration of Economic Activity Between the Euro Area and Croatia
    INTEGRATION OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY BETWEEN THE EURO AREA AND CROATIA Tanja Broz The institute of Economics Zagreb Department for macroeconomic analysis and policy Trg J. F. Kennedya 7 10000 Zagreb Croatia [email protected] Abstract This paper analyses the integration of Croatian and the euro area’s industrial production indices in order to see whether Croatia and the euro area form an optimum currency area. More precisely, it is of interest to determine would future Croatian adoption of euro be of benefit to Croatia (of course, once Croatia joins the EU). First, unit root tests are employed, then cointegration analysis and finally Granger causality test. Results indicate that there is no long run relationship between Croatian and the euro area’s industrial production indices. However, Granger causality test shows that in the short run the euro area’s industrial production causes Croatian. But, this is not enough to conclude that Croatia and the euro area form the optimum currency area. Key words : optimum currency areas, integration of economic activity, Croatia JEL classification : E42, F15, F33 157 1. Introduction In a situation when Croatia started with the negotiation process for joining the EU and when it is very likely that Croatia will join the EU in the next decade at latest, it is justifiable to expect that Croatia will introduce euro, since new members do not have the possibility of the “opt out” clause. For that reason it is necessary to examine whether the introduction of euro will be beneficial for Croatia or will it impose unwanted costs. Discussion about common currency areas usually rests on the theory of optimum currency areas, which was created by Mundell (1961) and supplemented by many other authors such as McKinnon (1963), Kenen (1969), Tower and Willett (1976), Tavlas (1993), Bayumi and Eichengreen (1996) and Frankel and Rose (1998).

    4 PREFACE This document contains two selected issues papers. With one paper assessing external stability in Croatia and the other taking a cross-country perspective on analyzing inefficiencies in Croatian public spending, the papers are integral to the analysis for the 2008 Article IV consultation. In addition, the latter paper also served as input into a technical assistance mission on short-term expenditure rationalization, which the Fund’s Fiscal Affairs Department undertook in collaboration with the World Bank in January–February 2008. The first paper focuses on external stability, an important issue in view of Croatia’s external imbalances and the requirements of the IMF’s 2007 Decision on Bilateral Surveillance. The paper concludes that the real exchange rate is broadly in line with economic fundamentals, and that external debt dynamics are sustainable over the medium-term, as long as macroeconomic policies remain strong. However, there are risks to external stability, largely related to financial account vulnerabilities that arise from the possibility of increases in the cost of foreign borrowing and/or a significant slowdown in capital inflows. This underscores the importance of policies to reduce Croatia’s external imbalances, not only through strong macroeconomic policies, but also through structural reforms. It also underscores the importance of the authorities having contingency measures at the ready. The second paper finds evidence of significant inefficiencies in Croatia’s social spending. This implies there is room to reduce government spending without unduly sacrificing the quality of social services. The paper discusses a number of reform measures to reduce inefficiencies in public spending and generate budgetary savings, with a view to reducing the size of the general government deficit.
