Government adopts several bills
The Croatian government at its session on Wednesday adopted a bill on the electricity market and a final bill by which it adjusts Croatia's energy legislation with the European Union acquis communautaire, aimed at promoting market liberalisation and development.
According to Economy Minister Ivan Vrdoljak, the new law creates conditions for safe and quality power supply and contributes to market development, pricing competition, consumer and environment protection.
The government also adopted guidelines for Croatia's inclusion into a draft regulation of the European Parliament and the European Council on establishing instruments for the Connecting Europe Facility and a regulation on guidelines for the development of the trans-European traffic network.
The government also decided to give a guarantee to a group of banks and gave a greenlight to the Croatian motorway company HAC for a EUR 130 million loan to finance the company's business plan for 2012.
The government also gave its consent to the City of Zagreb to take a HRK 150 million loan from Zagrebacka Banka for capital investments in road construction.
At the closed part of its session today, the government took note of the letter of intent which the Uljanik shipyard from Pula sent to the Economy Ministry.
The government charged the Economy Ministry to analyse the letter of intent, propose a road map for privatisation and name state institutions that will be responsible for the privatising of the shipyard.
The Economy Ministry is to submit a report of what has been done over the past 15 days.
Also adopted was a conclusion concerning a bilateral agreement between Croatia and Europol regulating connections between their computer networks.
