Kesner-Škreb and Mikić think that state aid in Croatia is not in harmony with the situation in EU members. 
Kesner-Škreb i Mikić smatraju da državne potpore u Hrvatskoj nisu usklađene sa stanjem u članicama EU.
Firstly, the amount of the aid given is considerably larger than in the EU and secondly it is mainly sectoral and not horizontal aid that is given. 
Prvo, iznosi potpora koji se dodjeljuju znatno su veći nego u EU, i drugo, dodjeljuju se uglavnom sektorske, a ne vodoravne potpore.
Also dissatisfied are Bejaković and Gotovac, for according to them the legal material dealing with unemployment is insufficiently harmonised with EU requirements, while the differences are still greater in practice. 
Nezadovoljni su i Bejaković i Gotovac, prema kojima je i zakonsko pitanje (ne)zaposlenosti nedovoljno usklađeno sa zahtjevima EU, a još su veće razlike u praksi.
While in the EU the creation of new jobs is encouraged, Croatia looks more to the preservation of existing employment. 
Dok se u EU potiče stvaranje novih radnih mjesta, u Hrvatskoj se potiče očuvanje zaposlenosti.
And yet they do think that we are moving in the right direction, if only slowly. 
No smatraju da se sporo, ali ipak krećemo u dobrom smjeru.
There are also regions in which Croatia lags behind the members, but not essentially behind the candidate countries, or has similar problems. 
Postoje i područja u kojima Hrvatska zaostaje za članicama, ali ne zaostaje bitno za zemljama kandidatkinjama, odnosno ima slične probleme.
This can be said for the issues of gender equality and the development of the non-governmental sector, in which Croatia can even boast of a programme for cooperation between the government and the non-governmental sector of the kind that is a rarity even among EU members. 
To se može reći za pitanje ravnopravnosti spolova i razvoj nevladina sektora, u čemu se Hrvatska čak može pohvaliti Programom suradnje između Vlade i nevladinih organizacija, kakav je rijetkost i među članicama EU.
The situation in trade and agriculture is particularly bad, here Croatia being slower and worse-off than both members and candidates. 
Osobito je loše stanje u trgovini i poljoprivredi, u kojima je Hrvatska sporija i lošija i od članica i od kandidatkinja.
Rodin is the most pessimistic, for he sees in Croatia a legal and cultural abyss created by decades-long separation from the European and world mainstream. 
Najpesimističniji je Rodin, prema kojemu u Hrvatskoj postoji pravno-kulturološki jaz prouzročen višedesetljetnom odvojenošću od europske i svjetske matice.
Of course, a break with traditional legal culture cannot be pulled off in a short period of time, but concentration on particular areas in which differences between Croatia on the one hand and member states and candidate states on the other is certainly possible. 
Naravno, raskid s tradicionalnom pravnom kulturom nije moguće izvesti u kratkom roku, ali koncentriranje na konkretna područja na kojima su uočene razlike između Hrvatske i zemalja članica i kandidatkinja i te kako je moguće.
The series of recommendations for an improvement of the economic situation is on the whole linked and consistent. 
Niz preporuka za poboljšanje ekonomskog stanja uglavnom je povezan i konzistentan.
Thus Mihaljek and Šonje highlight the need for rapid and stable growth, low inflation, external stability, fiscal adjustment, reduction of the deficit, reduction of the debt, stimulation of domestic savings, reforms of the labour market and the civil service. 
Tako i Mihaljek i Šonje ističu potrebu brzoga i stabilnog rasta, niske inflacije, vanjske stabilnosti, fiskalnog prilagođavanja, smanjenja deficita, smanjenja duga, poticanja domaće štednje, reforme tržišta rada i reforme javne uprave.
Subject to the success of these measures, Arbutina, Kuliš and Pitarević suggest the reduction of the tax burden (particularly of contributions) and Kesner-Škreb and Mikić propose reducing state aid, its redirection from vertical to horizontal targets and the foundation of an independent body for the supervision and implementation of aid. 
Ovisno o uspjehu navedenih mjera, Arbutina, Kuliš i Pitarević preporučuju smanjenje poreznog tereta (osobito doprinosa), a Kesner-Škreb i Mikić predlažu smanjenje potpora, njihovo preusmjeravanje iz okomitih u vodoravne te osnivanje neovisnog tijela za nadzor i provedbu potpora.
And anyway, Croatia is bound to do this because of the SAA. 
Na to Hrvatsku, uostalom, obvezuje i SSP.
The case with energy is similar, an independent body already having been founded, although Boromisa stresses that it is necessary to draw up concrete plans of implementation with deadlines and clear divisions of authority and responsibility, and to harmonise theory and practice, for the regulations are good, and yet are interpreted and applied poorly. 
Slično je i s energetikom, u kojoj je neovisno tijelo već osnovano, ali Boromisa naglašava da je potrebno izraditi konkretne planove provedbe s rokovima i jasnim podjelama ovlasti i zaduženja, te uskladiti teoriju i praksu jer su propisi dobri, ali se loše tumače i primjenjuju.
Agriculture is a story all by itself; Zimbrek and Franić recommend measures to improve competitiveness while at the same time preserving domestic resources. 
Posebna je priča poljoprivreda, za koju Zimbrek i Franić preporučuju mjere povećanja konkurentnosti, ali uz očuvanje domaćih resursa.
Here it is exceptionally important to educate CAP experts who will be able to keep up in this complex material with experts from the EU as well as from competitive applicant countries. 
Usto je iznimno važno obrazovati stručnjake za ZPP koji će se u toj složenoj materiji moći nositi sa stručnjacima iz EU, ali i iz konkurentnih zemalja kandidatkinja.
A certain disagreement can be seen among the authors in the book. 
Među autorima u knjizi zamjetno je i određeno neslaganje.
Zimbrek and Franić advise liberalisation of trade through bilateral free trade agreements, especially with the Balkan countries, while Boromisa and Mikić are against such agreements, and in fact advocate even turning existing bilateral agreements into multilateral deals in order to reduce the administrative costs of implementation and monitoring. 
Zimbrek i Franić savjetuju liberalizaciju trgovine bilateralnim sporazumima o slobodnoj trgovini, osobito s balkanskim zemljama, dok su Boromisa i Mikić protiv takvih sporazuma, dapače, zalažu se za pretvaranje postojećih bilateralnih sporazuma u multilateralne kako bi se smanjili administrativni troškovi provedbe i praćenja.
From the point of view of law, Rodin states that it is necessary to make a break with traditional legal culture and to institute concrete changes to provide the legal basis for EU membership, including the governing of the manner of using state sovereignty. 
Pravno gledano, Rodin ističe da je nužan raskid s tradicionalnom pravnom kulturom, ali i konkretne promjene kojima će se osigurati pravna osnova za članstvo u EU, uključujući uređenje načina korištenja državnom suverenošću.
Here it is necessary to settle the status of international and European law in the Croatian legal system. 
Usto valja urediti status međunarodnoga i europskoga u hrvatskom pravu.
For the development of the non-governmental sector, Vidacak recommends intensive involvement in exchange programmes with EU members, which are quite possible before accession. 
Za razvoj nevladina sektora Vidačak preporučuje intenzivno uključivanje u programe razmjene s članicama EU, koji su mogući i prije priključenja.
The government ought to undertake numerous measures, but, which is still more important, the non-governmental sector should not look for everything from the government, but has to work on its own, develop cooperation within organisations, among organisations and with foreign associations, train experts, become more democratic and itself contribute to the development, adoption and dissemination of knowledge about the European integration process and insist that the government treats it as a partner. 
Vlada treba poduzimati brojne mjere, ali, što je još važnije, nevladin sektor ne treba sve očekivati od Vlade, nego mora sam djelovati, razvijati suradnju unutar organizacija, među organizacijama i s inozemnim organizacijama, obrazovati stručnjake, demokratizirati se te sam pridonijeti razvijanju, usvajanju i širenju znanja o europskim integracijskim procesima i nametnuti se Vladi kao partner.
Vasiljević on the other hand says that for any progress from the impasse in the area of gender equality it is necessary to keep a constant eye on the development of European law, to adopt solutions from more advanced members, to make a dedicated law as soon as possible, or to put new provisions into existing laws, and to sensitise the public. 
Vasiljević pak ističe da je za pomak s mrtve točke na području ravnopravnosti spolova potrebno stalno pratiti razvoj europskog prava, preuzimati rješenja naprednijih članica, što prije donijeti poseban zakon ili ugraditi određene odredbe u postojeće zakone, senzibilizirati javnost.
Both Vidacak and Vasiljević stress the need for democratisation and constructive and non-monopolistic behaviour on the part of the NGOs. 
I Vidačak i Vasiljević naglašavaju potrebu demokratizacije, konstruktivnoga i nemonopolističkog ponašanja nevladinih organizacija.
Along with the many concrete proposals, most of the authors also stress the need to think about adjustment to a future and expanded, and not the current, EU, the importance of implementing the SAA, the importance of reforms of the administration, the foundation of independent bodies, and the education, education and education of all those involved in the integration processes. 
Uz brojne konkretne preporuke, većina autora ističe potrebu razmišljanja o prilagodbi budućem, proširenom, a ne sadašnjem EU, značenje provođenja SSP-a, važnost reforme javne uprave, osnivanja neovisnih tijela te obrazovanje, obrazovanje i obrazovanje svih subjekata uključenih u integracijske procese.
Boromisa, for example, describes an energy sector that is state owned, and will mostly remain so, state bodies thus being charged primarily with the implementation of energy reforms. 
Boromisa, primjerice, opisuje energetski sektor koji je u državnom vlasništvu, i pretežno će tako i ostati, pa su za provedbu reforme energetike zadužena ponajprije državna tijela.
This means that for a reform in energy, effective reform of the public administration is also necessary, or else a transfer of its authorities to an independent body. 
To znači da je za uspjeh reforme energetike nužna i uspješna reforma državne uprave ili prijenos ovlastiti na neovisna tijela.
Kesner-Škreb and Mikić also lay stress upon the importance of founding independent bodies to do with state aid, and Vasiljevic for cases of sexual discrimination and violations of the principle of equality between men and women. 
Naravno, nije dovoljno osnovati neovisna tijela, već je neophodno osigurati i formalne mehanizme koji će im omogućiti da stvarno djeluju i utječu na područja za koja su osnovana.
Bejaković and Gotovac urge reform of the public administration if there is a wish successfully to put through an active employment policy, while Rodin also urges this when talking of the break with traditional legal culture. 
Bejaković i Gotovac zagovaraju reformu javne uprave ako se želi uspješno provoditi aktivna politika zapošljavanja, a Rodin se za to zalaže kad je riječ o raskidu s tradicionalnom pravnom kulturom.
Zimbrek and Franić also state that the main challenge to EU adjustment will be the adjustment of Croatian administrative structures and society. 
Zimbrek i Franić također ističu da će glavni izazov prilagodbi EU biti prilagodba hrvatskih upravnih struktura i društva.
A key role will go here to domestic experts and the education of them, getting to know the CAP and mastering it in order to be able to carry out reforms and effectively negotiate with the EU. 
Ključna će pritom biti uloga domaćih stručnjaka i njihovo obrazovanje, upoznavanje ZPP-a i ovladavanje njime kako bi se mogle provoditi reforme i suvereno pregovarati s EU.
At all levels it will be necessary to invest in development divisions, research and education. 
Pritom će na svim razinama trebati ulagati u razvojne službe, istraživanje i obrazovanje.
Adjustments at once or later 
Prilagodbe - odmah ili kasnije
Most of, or in fact all, the authors in the book lay stress on the need for Croatian adjustments to EU requirements that are as rapid as possible. 
Većina, odnosno gotovo svi autori u knjizi ističu potrebu što bržih prilagodbi Hrvatske zahtjevima EU.
Rodin says that some changes are necessary right away, in the context of the implementation of the SAA, while some are essential for the outlook for full membership. 
Rodin ističe kako su neke promjene nužne već sada, u kontekstu provedbe SSP-a, a neke su bitne zbog perspektive punopravnog članstva.
However, in his opinion, Croatia will best express its genuine desire for full membership if it creates the premises for full membership now at the constitutional level. 
Međutim, Hrvatska će, prema njegovu mišljenju svoju istinsku želju za punopravnim članstvom najbolje izraziti ako već sada na ustavnoj razini stvori pretpostavke za punopravno članstvo.
With this viewpoint, Mihaljek, Šonje, Kesner-Škreb and Mikić, Boromisa and Mikić, Zimbrek and Franić, Bejaković and Gotovac are in full agreement. 
S njegovim se stajalištem slažu Mihaljek, Šonje, Kesner-Škreb i Mikić, Boromisa i Mikić, Zimbrek i Franić, Bejaković i Gotovac.
Vasiljević adds that numerous treaties oblige us to act fast, and Vidacak points out that apart from adjustments to EU requirements, we should be vigorously involved right now in exchange programmes with members, this being possible before membership, because in this way we will be able to create the preconditions for the development of civil society and working for the general good. 
Vasiljević usto dodaje da nas na brzo djelovanje obvezuju i brojni međunarodni ugovori, a Vidačak ističe da se osim prilagodbi zahtjevima EU, trebamo odmah intenzivno uključiti u razmjene i programe s članicama koje su moguće i prije priključenja jer bismo tako stvorili preduvjete za razvoj civilnog društva i djelovanje za opće dobro.
Nevertheless, there are still some areas like the tax system where, Arbutina, Kuliš and Pitarević recommend, some of the adjustments need to be delayed right until the acquisition of the status of EU member. 
Ipak, postoje i područja poput poreznog sustava, za koji Arbutina, Kuliš i Pitarević preporučuju da se neke od prilagodbi odgode sve do stjecanja statusa članice EU.
For although the situation in Croatia is currently not in line with EU requirements, it is nevertheless in the interests of Croatia, and adjustment would not anyway produce reciprocity. 
Naime, iako stanje u Hrvatskoj trenutačno nije u skladu sa zahtjevima EU, ono je u interesu Hrvatske, a prilagodbom se ionako ne bi postigla uzajamnost.
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.
