The government founded a committee for preparing and covering the
visit of Pope John Paul II to Croatia, and put Vice Premier Goran
Granic at the helm.
Linic and Crkvenac explained to reporters today's decision to
establish an annual financial reports register. Its goal, they
said, is to unify all data about the business of companies in
Croatia in one location. The register would incorporate some 80,000
profit-making companies, while non-profit ones (schools,
associations) would not be included in the register.
The register would be made public, with companies able to receive
information about their partners at any time. The bill which would
regulate its founding was sent by the government from its closed
session into urgent parliamentary procedure, so that the business
reports of companies for 2002 could be included in the register.
Linic said that since 1992, after the cancellation of the state-run
book-keeping service (SDK), where data on the business of
individuals and companies was gathered, Croatia had not had such a
register. Since the cancellation of the SDK, this segment was
transferred to commercial courts, and there had been no serious
business analysis.
The carriers of the project of establishing the register are the
Financial Agency (FINA), the Croatian National Bank, the Croatian
Bureau of Statistics and the Finance Ministry.
