e-brod.com: LOST AT SEA
Topic Shipbuilding
| TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR SHIPYARDS
Years of brushing aside problems in the Croatian shipbuilding industry has finally
culminated in a frantic last minute search for a restructuring solution that is
compatible with EU competition policy
During early last week, reviewers
in the Ministry
of Economy, Labour and
Entrepreneurship reviewed abstracts
concerning the restructuring
plans for Croatian shipyards,
aimed at making the industry
compatible with European competition
policies.
State Secretary for Economy Leo
Begović, who will be responsible
for “smoothing the edges” when
things get difficult around the
negotiating table, announced on
television that the scenarios for
overcoming the most difficult
chapter are still not satisfactory
and must be modified. Talks with
leading shipyard directors were
resumed later in the week.

e-brod.com: Spevec: EU does not require the privatisation
Topic Society
| OLGICA SPEVEC, MEMBER OF THE CROATIAN NEGOTIATING TEAM WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION
Support measures for shipyards that are currently provided are not only inconsistent with the EU regulations but are also not compliant with our regulations. However, it is absolutely not true that new regulations forbid the state to stop providing support for the shipbuilding industry
Croatian shipyards are going
through one of the
most uncertain periods in
their history: they must find a
way out of the long-lasting agony
in which they operate on the
one hand, and on the other this
solution has to meet the requirements
of operating in the single
market of the European Union.
We discussed this issue with
Olgica Spevec, President of
the Competition Council of the
Croatian Competition Agency
and member of the Croatian
Negotiating Team with the European
Union in charge of the
Market Competition Chapter
and the Entrepreneurship and
Industrial Policy Chapter.

Topic Shipbuilding
| One sentence from the
Vice Prime Minister
and Minister of Economy,
Labour and Entrepreneurship,
Damir Polančec, in a TV
appearance recently, brought
the subject of shipbuilding
into the public eye. Polančec
said one shipyard will be shut
down and one will be converted.
To prevent further a further
avalanche of speculation from
the media, Tomislav Mazal,
Spokesperson of the Ministry
of Economy, denied reports
of the possible bankruptcy of
Brodotrogir, and stated that
the Ministry is revising improved
restructuring plans introduced
by the management
of the five state-owned shipyards
and that it is too early
to talk of shutdown or bankruptcy
of any shipyards.
