Thus each one of the areas needs separate and careful monitoring and studying, so that we shall know with certainty which adjustments need to be made as soon as possible, and which had better be deferred.
Znači, svako od područja valja posebno i pažljivo pratiti, proučavati i sa sigurnošću znati koje nam je prilagodbe dobro provesti što prije, a koje bi bilo bolje odgoditi.
The attitude to regional initiatives
Odnos prema regionalnim inicijativama
Most of the authors in the book have a positive attitude to regional initiatives.
Većina autora ove knjige ima pozitivan odnos prema regionalnim inicijativama.
It is mainly stressed that the implementation of the SAA can help us in the process of restructuring, meeting the conditions for full membership, modernisation of the infrastructure, the use of financial resources for regional projects and adjustment of the laws so that in some areas Croatia could emerge as the leading nation in the region.
Uglavnom se naglašava da nam provođenje SSP-a može pomoći u procesu restrukturiranja, ispunjavanja uvjeta za puno članstvo, modernizaciju infrastrukture, u korištenju financijskih sredstava za regionalne projekte i usklađivanju zakona te da bi se Hrvatska u nekim područjima čak mogla nametnuti i kao vodeća zemlja u regiji.
Boromisa and Mikić stress that along with the necessary implementation of the SAA it is essential to do everything possible to become a member of the EU as soon as possible, thus minimalising the costs of partial liberalisation forced on us by the SAA.
Boromisa i Mikić pak naglašavaju da je uz obvezno provođenje SSP-a svakako bitno učiniti sve što je moguće da što prije postanemo članom EU jer bi se tako minimizirali troškovi parcijalne liberalizacije što je nameće SSP.
Zimbrek and Franić are actually able to point to the improvement in agriculture that has occurred since the signing of the SAA, especially in the harmonisation of legislation, the incentives to sustainable development, while Vasiljević recalls that the SAA also obliges us to respect the right of the individual.
Zimbrek i Franić čak ističu i poboljšanje u poljoprivredi nakon potpisivanja SSP-a, posebice u usklađivanju zakonodavstva, poticanju održivog razvoja, a Vasiljević napominje da nas SSP obvezuje na poštovanje prava pojedinaca.
Croatia is charged in the report of the European Commission with being insufficiently regionally cooperative, and so we do not have a lot of room for choice.
Nedovoljna regionalna suradnja Hrvatskoj se spočitava i u izvješću Europske komisije, dakle velikog izbora i nemamo.
In brief, one should not a priori cold-shoulder regional initiatives, rather try to make use of the advantages that they furnish, and use them intelligently for as rapid accession to the EU as possible.
Ukratko, od regionalnih inicijativa ne treba unaprijed zazirati, nego pokušati iskoristiti prednosti koje nam nude i mudro ih iskoristiti za što brže priključenje EU.
In this book we have attempted to give a summary of some of the challenges of the economic and legal adjustment involved in Croatian accession to the EU.
U ovom smo radu pokušali rezimirati neke od izazova ekonomske i pravne prilagodbe pridruživanja Hrvatske EU.
We have the while constantly borne in mind that negotiations with the EU are a politician's task, that our assignment is not to monitor the course of negotiations, rather to observe the state of affairs, to deal with given topics, even if they are currently not in line with government views, with EU demands or the actual course of negotiations.
Pritom smo stalno imali na umu da su pregovori s EU posao političara, da naš zadatak nije pratiti tijek pregovora već promatrati stanje, obrađivati određene teme, čak i ako trenutačno nisu u skladu sa stajalištima Vlade, zahtjevima EU ili samim tijekom pregovora.
Politicians have tasks that they must do here and now, while independent experts can afford to observe and suggest, hoping to be useful in the long run.
Političari imaju zadatke koje moraju odraditi odmah i sada, a neovisni stručnjaci mogu si dopustiti promatranje i sugeriranje, uz nadu da će biti korisni u dugom roku.
From this point of view, it is most important to be informed and expert, not only via keeping up with the literature, but also with events, in, for example, the world of business, in given branches of industry, in the media and so on.
U tom je smislu najvažnije biti obaviješten i stručan, ali ne samo praćenjem literature, nego i zbivanja, primjerice u poslovnom svijetu, određenim granama, medijima itd.
We do not look at the EU as a set fact, rather as a construct, one that is constantly changing, and we consider adjustment to a future, expanded, and not the present, Union.
Pritom EU ne promatramo kao zadanu činjenicu nego kao konstrukciju koja se stalno mijenja, te razmišljamo o prilagodbi budućoj, proširenoj, a ne sadašnjoj Uniji.
We point out that it is necessary to keep a constant eye on the development of conditions in the member countries and the applicant countries remaining after the next round of EU enlargement, because after they have joined we could well lose the advantages that we had.
Napominjemo da stalno valja pratiti razvoj prilika u zemljama članicama i zemljama kandidatkinjama koje preostanu nakon prvoga idućeg proširenja EU jer bismo nakon što se one priključe lako mogli izgubiti prednosti koje smo imali.
For this reason we have to concentrate on differences, on failures to keep up and adjust, and attempt to correct them.
Stoga se moramo koncentrirati na razlike, zaostajanja i neprilagođenosti te ih pokušavati ispraviti.
In this text we have avoided speculations about any possible date of Croatian entry, a very unrewarding task, but do nevertheless mention the danger of a long period of lingering in the status of associated member with a very uncertain date of accession.
U ovom smo se tekstu klonili nagađanja o eventualnom datumu ulaska Hrvatske u EU jer je to vrlo nezahvalan zadatak, ali ipak spominjemo i opasnost od dugog ostajanja u statusu pridružene članice s vrlo neizvjesnim datumom priključenja.
This condemns us to many obligations without having a place at the table.
Naime, na taj način prihvaćamo brojne obveze, a bez prava glasa.
Nevertheless, the criteria of Maastricht and Copenhagen, and most of the conditions of the SAA, can only be of use to us.
Ipak, kriteriji iz Mastrichta i Kopenhagena, te veći dio uvjeta SSP-a samo nam mogu koristiti.
It is our aim to meet as many as possible of these criteria, irrespective of whether we are or are not an EU member, or of some new creation that might exist when it is Croatia's turn.
Cilj nam je zadovoljiti što više tih kriterija, bez obzira na to jesmo li ili nismo član EU, odnosno neke nove tvorevine koja će postojati kad Hrvatska dođe na red.
Our objective is to recognise and capitalise on the advantages, and also to identify and remove the shortcomings, and know how to make intelligent use of positive results, advances and improvements.
Cilj nam je prepoznati i unapređivati prednosti, ali i prepoznati i uklanjati nedostatke, te znati pametno upotrijebiti pozitivne rezultate, pomake i napretke.
Although it would seem that political and legal conditions are crucial, in the long run, economic questions will also turn out to be decisive.
Iako se čini da su politički i pravni uvjeti presudni, u dugom će se roku sigurno presudnima pokazati ekonomska pitanja.
For this reason our recommendations relate primarily to an improvement of the state of the economy, that is, for maintaining rapid and stable growth, low inflation, external stability, fiscal adjustment, deficit reduction, debt reduction, a rise in domestic savings, labour market reform, civil service reform, diminution of the tax burden, cutting state aid and greater influence from independent bodies.
Stoga se naše preporuke prije svega odnose na poboljšanje ekonomskog stanja, odnosno na održavanje brzoga i stabilnog rasta, niske inflacije, vanjske stabilnosti, fiskalnog prilagođivanja, na smanjenje deficita, smanjenje duga, porast domaće štednje, reformu tržišta rada, reformu javne uprave, smanjenje poreznog tereta, smanjenje državnih potpora i veći utjecaj neovisnih tijela.
Reforms have to be carried out before they are forced on us from outside, because if we do not start ourselves on time, perhaps the time will never come.
Reforme treba provoditi prije nego nam se počnu nametati izvana, jer ako sami ne krenemo na vrijeme, možda to vrijeme nikad neće ni doći.
Although adjustments have to be carried out as soon as possible in most cases, nevertheless it is important to be careful, for there are areas in which it pays us better to wait until the moment of accession.
Iako je prilagodbe u većini područja nužno provesti što prije, ipak valja paziti jer ima i područja za koja bi nam se više isplatilo pričekati do priključenja.
It is important to train experts for various areas capable of keeping up with EU specialists and those from current and future competitive applicant countries.
Vrlo je važno obrazovati stručnjake za različita područja koji će se moći nositi sa stručnjacima iz EU, ali i iz sadašnjih i budućih konkurentnih zemalja kandidatkinja.
In all areas it is necessary to draw up concrete plans of implementation with deadlines and clear divisions of authority and responsibility.
Na svim područjima treba izraditi konkretne planove provedbe s rokovima i jasnim podjelama ovlasti i zaduženja.
Whenever possible, it is worthwhile getting involved in exchange programmes with member states, and to make intelligent use of regional initiatives.
Kad god je moguće, valja se uključivati u programe razmjene sa zemljama članicama, ali je pametno iskorištavati i regionalne inicijative.
Although the government should undertake a great many measures, it is particularly important for the non-governmental sector not to expect everything from the government, but to work on its own, to cooperate, to get trained, to democratise itself, get rid of its monopoly, contribute to the development, adoption and dissemination of knowledge about integration and to make sure the government accepts it as a partner.
Iako Vlada treba poduzimati brojne mjere, posebno je bitno da nevladin sektor ne očekuje sve od Vlade nego da djeluje sam, da surađuje, obrazuje se, demokratizira, demonopolizira, pridonosi razvoju, usvajanju i širenju znanja o integracijskim procesima i da se nametne Vladi kao partner.
We hope that this book will be a contribution to this and we shall go on working on the topics already started; in future projects we shall focus on additional topics such as the public administration, the courts, education, regional cooperation, political dialogue, human rights, democratisation and other topics that will arise in the course of time.
Nadamo se da će i ova knjiga biti doprinos tome te ćemo i dalje raditi na već započetim temama, a u idućim istraživanjima usredotočit ćemo se na dodatne teme kao što su javna uprava, sudstvo, obrazovanje, regionalna suradnja, politički dijalog, ljudska prava, demokratizacija, ali i druge teme koje će se s vremenom nametati.
In short, our ideal ought to be to live in a country that meets the EU criteria, and if this is the case, being or not being a member will be of much less importance.
Ukratko, ideal bi nam trebao biti živjeti u zemlji koja bi zadovoljavala kriterije EU, a da li bi bila članica ili ne, u tom bi slučaju bilo manje značajno.

MACROECONOMIC ASPECTS OF CROATIA'S ACCESSION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
MAKROEKONOMSKI ASPEKTI PRIDRUŽIVANJA HRVATSKE EUROPSKOJ UNIJI
The one lesson that emerges is the need to keep trying.
Najvažnija pouka iz povijesti ekonomskog razvoja jest da nikada ne treba odustajati.
No miracles.
Ne postoje čudotvorna rješenja.
No perfection.
Nema savršenstva.
No millennium.
Nema zlatnog doba.
No apocalypse.
Nema apokalipse.
We must cultivate a sceptical faith, avoid dogma, listen and watch well, try to clarify and define ends, the better to choose means.
Moramo neprekidno preispitivati stavove, izbjegavati dogme, dobro slušati i promatrati, objašnjavati i definirati ciljeve kako bismo bolje odabrali sredstva.

Croatia does not lag significantly behind the other CEE countries in fulfilling the criteria for EU and EMU membership.
Hrvatska ne zaostaje bitno za drugim srednjoeuropskim zemljama u ispunjavanju kriterija za članstvo u EU i EMU.
It has certain advantages with respect to the criteria of macroeconomic stability (with the exception of the budget deficit), investment efficiency, and potential growth.
Određenu prednost ima kad je riječ o kriterijima makroekonomske stabilnosti (osim proračunskog deficita), efikasnosti investiranja i potencijalnog rasta.
However, delays in the implementation of some structural reforms, in particular the development of a securities market, are estimated at about four years.
Međutim, zaostajanje u nekim strukturnim reformama, osobito u razvoju tržišta vrijednosnica, iznosi otprilike četiri godine.
Croatian economy, Central European economies, enlargement of the EU, transition, convergence to the EMU, economic growth, inflation, external stability, budget deficit, public debt
hrvatsko gospodarstvo, srednjoeuropska gospodarstva, proširenje EU, tranzicija, konvergencija prema EMU, ekonomski rast, inflacija, vanjska stabilnost, proračunski deficit, javni dug.
This paper analyses three topics related to Croatia's accession to the EU and EMU: the macroeconomic conditions for joining the EU and EMU, the preparedness of the Croatian economy to meet these conditions, and the main challenges that are awaiting economic policy on the road to the EU and EMU.
Autor analizira tri teme vezane za pridruživanje Hrvatske EU i EMU: makroekonomske uvjete za pristup EU i EMU, spremnost hrvatskoga gospodarstva da te uvjete ispuni i glavne izazove koji očekuju ekonomsku politiku na putu prema EU i EMU.
These criteria relate primarily to the development of the fundamental political, economic, administrative and judicial institutions with the aim of creating as quickly as possible the conditions for the adjustment of the countries of CEE to the institutional framework of the EU.
Ti uvjeti, tzv. kopenhaški kriteriji, odnose se ponajprije na razvoj temeljnih političkih, ekonomskih, administrativnih i pravosudnih institucija, a cilj im je stvoriti uvjete za što brže prilagođavanje zemalja središnje i istočne Europe institucionalnom okviru EU.
After they become EU members, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe will have the obligation to join the EMU and accept the euro as the common currency.
Nakon što postanu članice EU, zemlje središnje i istočne Europe imat će obvezu ispuniti i uvjete za pristup EMU i prihvatiti euro kao zajedničku valutu.
To be admitted to EMU, countries will have to demonstrate that they are capable of maintaining macroeconomic stability for at least two years.
No tu obvezu trebaju ispuniti tek nakon što tijekom najmanje dvije godine dokažu da mogu održavati makroekonomsku stabilnost.
To pass this test, countries will have to fulfil the Maastricht criteria on the rate of inflation, interest rate, exchange rate, budget deficit and public debt.
Kao dokaz će poslužiti ispunjavanje tzv. maastrichtskih kriterija nominalne konvergencije - približavanje stopa inflacije, kamata, tečaja, proračunskog deficita i javnog duga razinama utvrđenima u Ugovoru iz Maastrichta.
It carefully analyses comparative economic indicators for Croatia and five other Central European countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), as well as some less developed current EU members (Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain).
Spremnost hrvatskoga gospodarstva za priključenje europskim ekonomskim integracijama ocjenjuje se u trećem poglavlju pažljivom analizom usporednih ekonomskih pokazatelja Hrvatske, srednjoeuropskih zemalja (Češke, Mađarske, Poljske, Slovačke i Slovenije) i manje razvijenih sadašnjih članica (Grčke, Irske, Portugala i Španjolske).
The main conclusion of these comparisons is that Croatia does not lag behind other Central European countries and even has certain advantages with respect to the main macroeconomic criteria (apart from the budget deficit), investment efficiency and potential growth.
Opći je zaključak da Hrvatska ne zaostaje za drugim srednjoeuropskim zemljama ili čak ima određenu prednost prema glavnim makroekonomskim kriterijima (osim proračunskog deficita), efikasnosti investiranja i potencijalnog rasta.
However, the delay in the implementation of some important microeconomic reforms, such as the development of non-bank financial markets and competition policy, is estimated at almost four years.
Međutim, zaostajanje na nekim važnim mikroekonomskim segmentima - poput tržišta vrijednosnica i politike tržišnog natjecanja - procjenjuje se na gotovo četiri godine sustavnih reformskih napora.
Chapter Four addresses the issues of the sustainability and stability of the process of real and nominal convergence.
Cetvrto poglavlje obrađuje pitanje održivosti i stabilnosti procesa realne i nominalne konvergencije.
Although current indicators of macroeconomic stability for Croatia and other Central European countries are mostly satisfactory, the experience of some members of EMU shows that the final phase of convergence can be the most difficult.
Iako su pokazatelji makroekonomske stabilnosti u Hrvatskoj i ostalim srednjoeuropskim zemljama za sada uglavnom zadovoljavajući, iskustvo članica EMU pokazalo je da posljednja etapa konvergencije može biti ispunjena neugodnim iznenađenjima.
The fifth chapter concludes the discussion and provides some recommendations for economic policy.
Zaključna razmatranja i neke preporuke za ekonomsku politiku izneseni su u petom poglavlju.
CONDITIONS FOR JOINING THE EU
UVJETI ZA PRISTUP EU
This chapter briefly considers the basic economic and institutional framework that the EU has elaborated for future members.
U ovom poglavlju ukratko se razmatraju osnovne ekonomske i institucionalne odrednice koje je EU zadala budućim članicama.
The economically relevant criteria for the accession of Croatia to the EU can be divided into two groups: conditions that derive from the Stability and Association Agreement (2001), which the EU had expressly devised for the countries of SEE; and the Copenhagen criteria, which apply to all applicants from CEE and are also included in the Stability and Association Agreement.
Ekonomski relevantni kriteriji pristupa Hrvatske EU mogu se podijeliti u dvije skupine: uvjeti koji proizlaze iz SSP-a (2001) što ga je EU razradila posebno za zemlje jugoistočne Europe i kopenhaški kriteriji, koji vrijede za sve zemlje kandidatkinje iz središnje i istočne Europe, a uključeni su i u SSP.
Criteria from the Maastricht Treaty on EMU have to be met by all EU members before they can adopt the euro as their common currency.
Kriteriji iz Maastrichtskog sporazuma o EMU moraju ispuniti sve članice EU prije prihvaćanja eura kao zajedničke valute.
The framework set in these three groups of criteria forms, in a way, a goal that the Croatian economy and, in particular, the public administration should aim for in the macroeconomic sphere in order to join the EU and EMU as soon as possible.
Okvir zadan u tim trima skupinama kriterija na određeni način čini cilj kojemu bi hrvatsko gospodarstvo i osobito javna uprava trebale težiti u gospodarskoj i makroekonomskoj sferi da bi se Hrvatska što prije priključila EU i EMU.
In spite of frequent interpretations, most of these conditions have not been phrased extremely rigidly, but leave Croatia and other applicant countries a certain flexibility to adapt, in agreement with the European Commission, some of the conditions to the particular circumstances.
Nasuprot učestalim interpretacijama, većina tih uvjeta nije postavljena odveć kruto, već Hrvatskoj i drugim zemljama kandidatkinjama ostavlja određenu fleksibilnost da uz dogovor s Europskom komisijom pojedine uvjete prilagode specifičnim okolnostima.
The Stabilisation and Association Agreement
Sporazum o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju
The SAA between Croatia and the EU was signed on 29 November 2001 and by summer 2002 it had been ratified by Austria, Denmark and Ireland.
SSP između Hrvatske i EU parafiran je 29. studenog 2001. i do ljeta 2002. ratificirale su ga Austrija, Danska i Irska.
The Agreement governs cooperation and the framework for the gradual convergence of Croatia to European structures.
Sporazumom se uređuje suradnja i okvir za postupno približavanje Hrvatske europskim strukturama.
The SAA contains provisions on cooperation and mutual obligations in the following areas: political dialogue, regional cooperation, free movement of goods, movement of workers, establishment of businesses, the supply of services, current payments and movements of capital, harmonisation and implementation of legislation and the rules of market competition, cooperation in the area ofjustice and internal affairs, the policy of cooperation and financial cooperation.
Odredbe Sporazuma sadrže dogovore o suradnji i međusobnim obvezama u sljedećim područjima: političkom dijalogu, regionalnoj suradnji, slobodi kretanja roba, kretanju radnika, poslovnom nastanu, pružanju usluga, tekućim plaćanjima i kretanju kapitala, usklađivanju i provedbi zakonodavstva i pravila tržišnoga natjecanja, suradnji na području pravosuđa i unutarnjih poslova, politici suradnje i financijskoj suradnji.
Thus in the trade part of the Agreement a transitional period of three or six years in which Croatia will liberalise its market for industrial and agricultural products from the EU was agreed on.
Tako je u trgovinskom dijelu Sporazuma dogovoren prijelazni rok od tri odnosno šest godina u kojemu će Hrvatska liberalizirati svoje tržište za industrijske i poljoprivredne proizvode iz EU.
That is, as early as November 2000, the EU had decided, with certain exceptions, to liberalise its market for Croatian products.
Naime, EU je već u studenome 2000. godine odlučila, uz određene iznimke, jednostrano liberalizirati svoje tržište za hrvatske proizvode.
In the regional cooperation provisions, it is anticipated that there will be a network of bilateral treaties with countries that have signed the SAA, other countries covered by the stabilisation and association process and with EU accession applicants.
U odredbama o regionalnoj suradnji predviđa se sklapanje mreže dvostranih ugovora sa zemljama potpisnicama Sporazuma, ostalim zemljama obuhvaćenima procesom stabilizacije i pridruživanja te zemljama kandidatkinjama za pristup EU.
It is clearly stated that the goals of the regional provisions are the establishment of political dialogue, the establishment of an area of free trade in the region in line with WTO provisions, mutual concessions concerning the movement of workers, establishment, supply of services, current payments and movement of capital and other policies related to movement of persons, as well as cooperation in justice and home affairs.
Jasno se ističe da su ciljevi regionalnih odredbi uspostava političkog dijaloga, uspostava područja slobodne trgovine u regiji u skladu s odredbama WTO-a, uzajamne koncesije glede kretanja radnika, prava poslovnoga nastana, pružanja usluga, tekućih plaćanja i kretanja kapitala te drugih politika koje se odnose na kretanje osoba, kao i suradnja u pravosuđu, unutarnjim poslovima i drugim područjima.
The creation of any kind of new state or other structures in the region is not envisaged in the Agreement, nor is it mentioned.
Stvaranje bilo kakvih novih državnih ili drugih struktura u regiji nije predviđeno niti se uopće spominje u Sporazumu.
In the political preamble and in the appropriate parts of the Agreement it is clearly stated that Croatian accession to the EU will be based on the individual merits of Croatia.
U političkoj preambuli te u odgovarajućim dijelovima Sporazuma utvrđen je jasan individualni karakter približavanja Hrvatske EU.
