"Giving up the progress is not" - These words of Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic resolve all doubts regarding the proposed Law on strategic investment projects the Croatian. Rhetorical question, "Why would we do that?", Rejected from many directions addressed accusations that his government proposed the law allows and creates conditions pnct terminal for the sale of natural resources and public goods the Croatian. Yes Milanovic question is not merely rhetorical, that's what the thread that you expect or want an answer, critics would have a very convincing answer - did make it so that in a short time, collect the money necessary to maintain the existing system, a little delay take the necessary structural reforms and to This way you ensure a peaceful political mandate. Well, it could be said the prime minister "Tell me one reason why we peddle pnct terminal Croatia."
Although he and I in the debate on health education criticized the manipulation of the archbishop and associations hive constitutional provisions, this time it is and I resorted to. In fact, just as in addition to the constitutional rights of parents there and the constitutional rights of children, in addition to entrepreneurial and market freedoms on which by Milanovic's interpretation of the Constitution rests our state, which by the way is not quite right, there is a special constitutional protection of natural resources and public goods the Croatian .
Entrepreneurial and market freedoms are listed (only) as the foundation of the economic system of the Republic of Croatia (Article 49) while the inviolability of ownership, conservation of nature and the environment and the rule of law referred to in the general provisions, defined as the highest values of the constitutional order and as such explicitly defined as a foundation for the interpretation of the Constitution. Just because the Prime Minister Milanovic by profession a lawyer, it is necessary to condemn this its pretty cheap attempt to manipulate pnct terminal the constitutional provisions in order to more easily sent more than doubtful law.
First, it is the equality of all before the law (Article 14). Prescribing more favorable business conditions for large investors, the government in an unequal position leads all that sort of its commission is not declared as such. It is against pnct terminal the constitution someone from the obligation to respect pnct terminal the law just because it has enough money to his investment is "strategic" while everyone else is still destined to wander pnct terminal around the labyrinth pnct terminal of bureaucratic barriers imposed. Rather than adhere difficult reforms complicated system, Milanovic's government has resorted to rather leisurely decision according to which the rich investors free of the obligation to respect the regulations pnct terminal that apply to everyone else.
Second, pnct terminal the preservation and protection of the human environment, pushes the provision according to which the environmental impact study, if the competent ministry in general determines that it should be developed, working on an expedited basis. Conse- quently, not making you this within 10 working days, apply the principle of "silence of the administration" which means that the investment project receives a "green light". What is all manipulation with this solution allows, we can imagine.
Third, the Prime Minister assured us that it will not sell forests, water and other public goods but then it is legitimate and logical pnct terminal to ask why then does the law provides for such a possibility. After all, in order to avoid sales which is permanent alienation, the government has introduced the possibility of giving it all in the concession. pnct terminal Between permanent estrangement, for instance, some forests in Gorski Kotar and the fact that it as part of "strategic investments" to the root cut down a concessionaire pnct terminal no difference. While it grows new, it will take generations.
No less important to consider the conditions to be met by investment that would have been declared strategic. If they do not invest just 150 million, it is sufficient to meet the investment at least one of the following conditions:
creates the conditions for the employment of more people, directly or indirectly contributes significantly to the development or improvement of conditions for the development of tourism and economy, significantly contributes to the development or improvement of conditions for the production of goods and services for export, project is being implemented in developing or less developed regions the Croatian, war-affected areas and islands connect or building transport, energy, electronic communications or other infrastructure key objects relevant for the development of strategic activities or raising the overall level of safety and quality of life and health of citizens and environmental connect these isolated parts of the Croatian , contributes to the activation pnct terminal of the inactive state-owned assets, significantly contributes to increasing the use of energy from renewable energy introduce or develop new technologies designed to increase competitiveness and efficiency in the economy, pnct terminal some sectors or the public sector and / or that raise the overall level of safety and quality of life and health of citizens and environmental significantly contributes to the development of the science and higher education, fulfill the obligations assumed by International agreements or fulfill the obligations of a common policy with the European Union.
