POREC, Nov 17 (Hina) - Croatian economy is structurally unadjusted to the European Union, so Croatia has yet to create conditions in agriculture to be integrated into Europe, Croatian National Parliament speaker Zlatko Tomcic said in
the north Adriatic town of Porec Friday. Tomcic and European Integrations Minister Ivan Jakovcic were on Friday guests at the session of the management and scientific councils of Porec's Institute for Agriculture and Tourism. "In Croatia's intentions to become a member of the EU, the unavoidable lack of a structural adjustment of Croatian agriculture to European standards and practice shows that we still have to create conditions for such European integration," Tomcic said.

POREC, Nov 17 (Hina) - Croatian economy is structurally unadjusted
to the European Union, so Croatia has yet to create conditions in
agriculture to be integrated into Europe, Croatian National
Parliament speaker Zlatko Tomcic said in the north Adriatic town of
Porec Friday.
Tomcic and European Integrations Minister Ivan Jakovcic were on
Friday guests at the session of the management and scientific
councils of Porec's Institute for Agriculture and Tourism.
"In Croatia's intentions to become a member of the EU, the
unavoidable lack of a structural adjustment of Croatian
agriculture to European standards and practice shows that we still
have to create conditions for such European integration," Tomcic
said.
Co-operatives in Europe and the EU has proved as the "best model of
articulating the interests of farmers and family farms on the harsh
economy market, despite the negative connotations co-operatives
have due to associations to the state's force towards farmers after
World War II".
European Integrations Minister Ivan Jakovcic said in the overall
adjustment of Croatia's legislature, production and business to
European standards and laws, Croatian agriculture is facing its
biggest challenge.
