A continuation of trade liberalisation via bilateral free trade agreements is recommended, particularly in the Balkan region, while encouragement of competitiveness in the agricultural sector, in line with the results of the research into the competitiveness of domestic agriculture, should be achieved through the following measures. 
Preporučuje se nastavak trgovinske liberalizacije putem bilateralnih sporazuma o slobodnoj trgovini, poglavito u balkanskoj regiji, a poticanje konkurentnosti poljoprivrednog sektora, sukladno rezultatima istraživanja konkurentnosti domaće poljoprivrede, treba ostvariti sljedećim mjerama.
• Give teeth to the law about making contracts and encourage the respect for contractual conditions in business operations, without particular fears or privileges. 
• Osnažiti zakon ugovaranja i poticati poštovanje ugovornih uvjeta u poslovanju, bez posebnih strahova ili povlastica.
• Make the passing of agrarian policy decisions more transparent and encourage them to be implemented in practice; set up an appropriate system of criteria for the payment of aid to agriculture; bring in a simpler system of direct payments in agriculture, thus stimulating farm income, and at the same time making possible a more powerful and freer impact of market prices and a more profitable use of natural and agricultural resources. 
• Učiniti donošenje agrarnopolitičkih odluka transparentnima i poticati njihovu primjenu u praksi; ustanoviti prikladan sustav kriterija za isplatu potpora poljoprivredi; uvesti jednostavniji sustav izravnih plaćanja u poljoprivredi, čime bi se stimulirao dohodak poljoprivrednika, a istodobno omogućio snažniji i slobodniji utjecaj tržišnih cijena i profitabilnije iskorištavanje prirodnih i poljoprivrednih resursa.
• Adjust the customs system, which has already largely been done during the WTO accession process; further adjustment is necessary in order to reduce the costs of the protection of highly protected products for the sake of those products in which Croatia has comparative advantages. 
• Prilagoditi carinski sustav, što je već dobrim dijelom učinjeno tijekom pristupanja WTO-u; daljnja je prilagodba potrebna kako bi se smanjili troškovi zaštite visokoštićenih proizvoda u korist proizvoda za koje Hrvatska ima poredbene prednosti.
• Put the agricultural land market in order, which would settle the question of collateral when loans are being made. 
• Urediti tržište poljoprivrednim zemljištem, čime bi se riješilo pitanje jamstva pri odobravanju kredita.
• Improve economic capacity at the level of the farm - through further investment in development services, encouragement of the research and educational system in agriculture. 
• Unaprijediti ekonomsku sposobnost na razini poljoprivrednoga gospodarstava - daljnjim ulaganjem u razvojne službe, poticanjem istraživanja i obrazovnog sustava u poljoprivredi.
The way to answers to which legal, political and institutional measures have to be taken and how they should be put into practice is still a long one. 
Put do odgovora na pitanja koje sve zakonske, političke i institucionalne mjere treba poduzeti i kako ih ostvariti još je uvijek dug.
Through which instruments of economic and structural policy should one work on the income of agricultural producers, the protection of consumers, the development of the rural space and regional balance? 
Kojim instrumentima ekonomske i strukturne politike djelovati na dohodak poljoprivrednih proizvođača, zaštitu potrošača, razvoj ruralnog prostora i regionalnu ravnotežu?
Is not Croatian agriculture, after all, so particular that a special way needs to be found for the adjustment of it to the developed economies? 
Je li hrvatska poljoprivreda ipak toliko specifična da za njezinu prilagodbu razvijenim gospodarstvima treba pronaći neki poseban put?
The only thing certain is that the Croatian institutions responsible for negotiations with and convergence of Croatia on the EU must be very well prepared for the performance of their assignments, which means that it is necessary to go on providing for the specialisation of domestic experts within the administrative departments for the wellgrounded making of political decisions that are in harmony with EU practice. 
Sigurno je samo to da se hrvatske ustanove odgovorne za pregovore i približavanje Hrvatske EU trebaju kvalitetno pripremiti za obavljanje svojih zadaća, što znači da je potrebno i nadalje osiguravati specijalizaciju domaćih stručnjaka u sklopu upravnih službi za utemeljeno donošenje političkih odluka u skladu s EU praksom.

ENERGY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND IN CROATIA 
ENERGETIKA U EUROPSKOJ UNIJI I HRVATSKOJ
The objective of this work is to determine the extent of the conformity of the Croatian energy sector with the conditions for membership in the EU. 
Cilj je ovog rada utvrditi usklađenost energetskog sektora RH s uvjetima za članstvo u EU.
According to a comparative analysis an identification is made of the state of affairs in the energy sector in the EU, in the Republic of Croatia and in the applicant countries, the level at which the conditions for membership are fulfilled and the necessary measures that have to be implemented during the reform. 
Na temelju komparativne analize stanja energetskog sektora u EU, RH i državama kandidatkinjama identificira se razina ispunjavanja uvjeta za članstvo i nužne mjere koje se moraju provesti tijekom reforme.
The main conclusion is that the legal system itself in the area of the Croatian energy system is already mainly harmonised with the EU system. 
Glavni je zaključak da je pravni sustav na području energetskog sektora RH već uvelike usklađen sa sustavom EU.
However, concrete application of the rules departs from the way rules are applied in the EU. 
Međutim, konkretna primjena pravila odudara od primjene u EU.
Since these rules obtain their final form only during application, and the manner of interpretation and application is much harder to change than the rules themselves, particular attention needs devoting to practice in the process of adjustment. 
Budući da ta pravila dobivaju konačan oblik tek u primjeni, a način tumačenja i primjenu mnogo je teže mijenjati od samih pravila, u procesu prilagodbi osobitu važnost treba pridati praksi.

Adaptation to the EU system is a process of the gradual acceptance of its rules and standards. 
Prilagođavanje sustavu Europske unije (EU) proces je postupnog prihvaćanja njezinih pravila i standarda.
The membership criteria define the necessary level of harmonisation with the EU system that must be attained by applicant states. 
Kriteriji za članstvo definiraju nužnu razinu usklađenosti sustavu EU koju države kandidatkinje moraju postići.
In an evaluation of fulfilment of membership criteria, the European Commission takes into account the conformity of the national political system as a whole (degree of democracy, effectiveness of the rule of law, establishment of market economy) and of individual sectors. 
Pri procjeni ispunjavanja kriterija za članstvo Europska komisija vrednuje usklađenost državnog uređenja u cjelini (stupanj demokracije, djelotvornost pravne države, uspostavljeno tržišno gospodarstvo) i pojedinačnih sektora.
In the energy sector, during membership negotiations the EU first of all required from the applicants an increased level of nuclear safety. 
Na području energetike EU je tijekom pregovora o članstvu od kandidata ponajprije zahtijevala povećanje razine nuklearne sigurnosti.
However, with reform and liberalisation of the energy sector, new requirements have been set up for states that wish to join. 
Međutim, reformom i liberalizacijom energetskog sektora u EU postavljeni su novi zahtjevi državama koje se žele uključiti u EU.
In this paper, these requirements are identified, their implementation in the EU, in the applicant countries, and in the Republic of Croatia. 
U ovom se radu identificiraju ti zahtjevi, njihova provedba u EU, u državama kandidatkinjama i u RH.
According to what has been achieved to date by certain groups of countries, the main difficulties in meeting EU demands and the measures that might help to solve them are identified. 
Na temelju dosega pojedinih skupina zemalja identificiraju se glavne teškoće u ispunjavanju zahtjeva EU i mjere koje bi mogle pomoći u njihovu rješavanju.
MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA 
KRITERIJI ZA ČLANSTVO
In each sector of the economy, fulfilment of the membership conditions is evaluated according to how much the economic and legal criteria for membership are met. 
U svakom se sektoru gospodarstva ispunjavanje uvjeta za članstvo procjenjuje na temelju ispunjavanja gospodarskih i pravnih kriterija za članstvo.
The fulfilment of economic criteria for membership implies: a) the existence of a functioning market economy (liberalisation of prices and trade, demand and supply equilibrium established by market forces) and b) the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union. 
Ispunjavanje gospodarskih kriterija za članstvo podrazumijeva: a) postojanje djelotvornoga tržišnoga gospodarstva (liberalizacija cijena i trgovine, ravnoteža ponude i potražnje uspostavljena tržišnim snagama) i b) sposobnost suočavanja s konkurencijskim pritiskom i tržišnim utjecajima u EU.
The fulfilment of the second criterion is evaluated, however, among other things, according to an estimation of whether the proper infrastructure exists. 
Ispunjavanje drugog kriterija vrednuje se, između ostaloga, na temelju procjene postoji li dostatna infrastruktura.
The legal conditions imply the acceptance and application of the acquis communautaire. 
Pravni uvjeti podrazumijevaju prihvaćanje i primjenu propisa EU, tzv. acquisa communautairea, odnosno, skraćeno, acquisa.
At the level of states members and at the level of the Union no effective market economy in energy has yet been set up. 
Na razini država članica ni na razini Unije nije još uspostavljeno djelotvorno tržišno gospodarstvo u energetici.
For example, the system of market laws at EU level is only just developing (for more detail, see Pelkmans, 2001), and this is one of the elements for the estimation of whether there is an effective market economy. 
Primjerice, sustav tržišnih zakona na razini EU tek se razvija (detaljnije npr. u Pelkmans, 2001), a to je jedan od elemenata za procjenu postoji li djelotvorno tržišno gospodarstvo.
For this reason, in the energy sector the level to which membership conditions has been fulfilled is monitored with respect to the degree of liberalisation achieved within the EU. 
Stoga se na području energetike razina ispunjavanja uvjeta za članstvo prati uzimanjem u obzir razine liberalizacije postignute u EU.
Hence, fulfilment of conditions for membership in the energy sector is estimated above all according to the ability to accept and apply the acquis. 
Dakle, ispunjavanje uvjeta za članstvo na području energetike procjenjuje se prije svega na temelju sposobnosti za prihvaćanje i primjenu acquisa.
• improve energy networks in order to create a real European market; 
• unapređenje energetskih mreža radi stvaranja energetskog tržišta
• prepare for crisis situations, particularly through the constitution of 90 days of oil stocks; 
• priprema za krizna stanja, osobito uspostavom pričuva nafte dovoljnih za 90-dnevnu opskrbu
• address the social, regional and environmental consequences of the restructuring of mines; 
• rješavanje socijalnih, regionalnih i ekoloških posljedica restrukturiranja sektora
• waste less energy and increase the use of renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and biomass in their energy balance; 
• povećanje učinkovitosti, smanjivanje gubitaka energije i poticanje uporabe obnovljivih izvora (hidroenergija, energija vjetra, solarna energija i energija biomase)
CURRENT LEVEL OF FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBERSHIP 
SADAŠNJA RAZINA ISPUNJAVANJA UVJETA ZA ČLANSTVO
The current level of the fulfilment of membership conditions is evaluated according to a comparative analysis of energy in the Republic of Croatia, in the applicant countries and in the EU. 
Sadašnja razina ispunjavanja uvjeta za članstvo procjenjuje se na temelju komparativne analize energetike u RH, zemljama kandidatkinjama i EU.
Elements for an evaluation of the state of affairs are bounded on key definitions for the evaluation of the conformity of the applicants with the acquis and the results of previous negotiations (Lithuania team, 2002, op. cit., 
Elementi za procjenu stanja temelje se na ključnim odrednicama za procjenu usklađenosti kandidata s acquisom Unije i rezultatima dosadašnjih pregovora (Lithuania team, 2002, op. Cit.,
European Commission, DG TREN, 2002).i 
European Commission, DG TREN, 2002)3
Since during membership negotiations the capacity of an applicant to take part in the single market, adequacy of reserves and nuclear safety have been defined as key points, the analysis is focused on these determinants. 
Budući da su tijekom pregovora o članstvu kao ključna pitanja utvrđena sposobnost kandidata da sudjeluju na jedinstvenom tržištu, dostatnost pričuva i nuklearna sigurnost, analiza je usredotočena na te odrednice.
Joining the single market 
Uključivanje u jedinstveno tržište
The ability to take part in the single market is evaluated according to the institutional and technical capacities of a given country. 
Sposobnost sudjelovanja na jedinstvenom tržištu procjenjuje se na temelju institucionalne i tehničke mogućnosti sudjelovanja neke zemlje na tržištu.
Institutional capacity implies the acceptance and implementation of that part of the acquis that makes possible the establishment of a market economy in energy and technical readiness assumes an appropriate infrastructure and interoperability of systems. 
Institucionalna sposobnost podrazumijeva prihvaćanje i provedbu dijela acquisa koji omogućuje uspostavu tržišnoga gospodarstva u energetici, a tehnička spremnost podrazumijeva odgovarajuću infrastrukturu i interoperabilnost sustava.
Institutional capacity 
Institucionalna sposobnost
The creation of a single market in energy and of the corresponding acquis started with the liberalisation of the 1990s. 
Stvaranje jedinstvenoga energetskog tržišta i odgovarajućeg acquisa započelo je liberalizacijom 1990-ih.
In the first phase, transparent pricing was assured, and the access of third parties to the transport infrastructure was made possible. 
U prvoj je fazi osigurana transparentnost cijena i omogućen pristup treće strane transportnoj infrastrukturi (tranzit).
The second phase of liberalisation started in 1993. 
Druga je faza liberalizacije započela 1993.
This made possible the allotment of licenses for the construction of transport capacities on a non-discriminatory basis, which thus enabled competition. 
U njoj je omogućeno dodjeljivanje dozvola za izgradnju transportnih kapaciteta na nediskriminirajućoj osnovi čime je omogućeno stvaranje konkurencije.
Vertically integrated firms separated the accounts of individual activities (generation, transmission, distribution) and the approach of third parties to the greatest consumers of electricity and gas was made possible. 
Vertikalno integrirana poduzeća razdvojila su račune pojedinih djelatnosti (proizvodnje, prijenosa, distribucije) i uveden je pristup “trećoj strani” za najveće potrošače električne energije i plina.
In the third phase, which started in 1996, common rules for the electricity market were adopted (Directive 96/92) and for gas (Directive 98/30), and the preconditions for the free moment of electricity and gas in the area of the Union were created. 
U trećoj su fazi, koja je započela 1996, usvojena zajednička pravila za tržišta električnom energijom (Smjernica 96/92) i plinom (Smjernica 98/30), te stvoreni preduvjeti za slobodno kretanje električne energije i plina na području Unije.
The progressive opening up of the national markets started in 1999 for electricity, when a minimum of 26% of the total annual consumption was opened up to foreign suppliers. 
Progresivno otvaranje nacionalnih tržišta započelo je 1999. za električnu energiju, kada je minimalno 26% ukupne godišnje potrošnje otvoreno stranim dobavljačima.
In 2000 the opening of the gas market started, when 20% of consumption was opened. 
Godine 2000. započelo je i otvaranje tržišta plinom, te je otvoreno 20% tržišta.
The market opening plan anticipated that in 2003 33% of the electricity market should be liberalised, after which, by 2006, there should be a further consideration of market opening. 
Planom otvaranja tržišta predviđeno je da bi do 2003. godine 33% tržišta električnom energijom trebalo biti liberalizirano, nakon čega bi se, do 2006. godine, trebalo razmotriti daljnje otvaranje tržišta.
For gas, 28% of the market should be opened in a period of five and 33% in a period of 20 years. 
Za plin bi se 28% tržišta trebalo otvoriti u roku pet, a 33% u roku 20 godina.
However, the European Council at its Lisbon summit (23-24 March, 2000) required gradual and total opening of the energy market. 
Međutim, Europsko je vijeće na samitu u Lisabonu (23-24. ožujka 2000) zatražilo postupno i potpuno otvaranje energetskog tržišta.
For this reason the European Commission in March 2001 proposed amendments to the directives for electricity and gas (96/92 and 98/30) and the regulation on the conditions for access to the electricity network (for more see: European Commission, 2001; 2; European Commission 2001; 3; European Commission 2001; 4). 
Stoga je Europska komisija u ožujku 2001. predložila amandmane na smjernice za električnu energiju i plin (96/92 i 98/30) te uredbu o uvjetima pristupa elektroenergetskoj mreži (više u: European Commission, 2001; 2, European Commission 2001;3, European Commission 2001;4).
Since for the adoption of these decisions the co-decision procedure process is applied, after the amendment by the European Parliament, the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee was obtained, and the acceptance of the directive by the Council, in June 2002 the European Commission published an amended proposal to the directive and the regulation (for more, see European Commission 2002; 1; European Commission 2002; 2). 
Budući da se za usvajanje tih dokumenata primjenjuje postupak suodlučivanja, nakon amandmana Europskog parlamenta, pribavljenog mišljena Ekonomskoga i socijalnog vijeća te prihvaćanjem smjernica Vijeća, Komisija je u lipnju 2002. godine objavila dopunjeni prijedlog smjernice i uredbe (više u European Commission 2002;1, European Commission 2002;2).
The proposals allow for the opening of national markets to electricity and gas by 2005, the supply of all consumers and the creation of a single energy market instead of 15 open national markets. 
Prijedlozi omogućuju otvaranje nacionalnih tržišta električnom energijom i plinom do 2005. godine, osiguranje opskrbe svih potrošača i stvaranje jedinstvenoga energetskog tržišta umjesto 15 otvorenih nacionalnih tržišta.
The opening of the market means that in 2005 consumers will be able to choose which supplier of electricity and gas they want. 
Otvaranje tržišta znači da će 2005. godine potrošači moći birati svoje dobavljače električne energije i plina.
In order to strengthen competition and the creation of a single market, access to transmission and distribution networks will have to be assured without discrimination. 
Radi jačanja konkurencije i stvaranja jedinstvenog tržišta mora se osigurati pristup prijenosnim i distribucijskim mrežama bez diskriminacije.
In turn, in order to achieve this goal it is necessary for the network to be managed by an independent body, completely detached from generation and sales; that the national regulatory body, which has to be set up in all member states, determine, publish and approve charges for access to the network before they come into force. 
Za postizanje tog cilja nužno je da mrežom upravlja neovisno tijelo, potpuno odvojeno od proizvodnje i prodaje; da nacionalno regulativno tijelo, koje se mora uspostaviti u svim državama članicama, utvrdi, objavi i odobri naknade za pristup mreži prije njihova stupanja na snagu.
At the same time, the demand on the infrastructure is made that says the capacity of the transmission network to neighbouring countries must attain at least 10% of domestic generation. 
Ujedno, postavlja se i infrastrukturni zahtjev kojim se određuje da kapacitet prijenosne mreže prema susjednim državama mora dosegnuti barem 10% domaće proizvodnje.
Although these proposals have not yet been adopted and are not applied in the EU, they could be looked upon as conditions for membership. 
Iako navedeni prijedlozi još nisu usvojeni i ne primjenjuju se u EU, mogu se promatrati kao uvjeti za članstvo.
For the European Commission (2001) in the latest Regular Reports on Candidates' Progress towards Accession specifically states that during the implementation of reforms in the energy sector, adjustments must be carried out in such a way as to take into consideration the acquis that is in the making. 
Naime, Europska komisija (2001) u najnovijem izvještaju o napretku kandidata u ispunjavanju uvjeta za članstvo eksplicitno navodi da se tijekom provedbi reformi u energetskom sektoru prilagodbe moraju provoditi uzimajući u obzir i acquis koji se priprema.
