LOWER HOUSE DEBATES BILL ON ISLANDS

ZAGREB, March 25 (Hina) - By its amendment the Croatian Government totally gave up from parts of a bill on islands which refer to enabling the State to take abandoned arable land and buildings on islands at its disposal. The Government proposed the amendment to avoid making a climate as if the State wants something new to nationalise or to encroach upon the private property, said Croatian Minister for Development and Reconstruction, Jure Radic, at Thursday's session of the Croatian Parliament's House of Representatives. The final bill on islands, that is in the second reading at the Sabor, intends to create preconditions for halting the demographic and economic decline on islands. The population of the Croatian islands has been almost halved in this century, while the economy, particularly in remote islands has been slumping into a state of torpor, Radic added.

ZAGREB, March 25 (Hina) - By its amendment the Croatian Government totally gave up from parts of a bill on islands which refer to enabling the State to take abandoned arable land and buildings on islands at its disposal. The Government proposed the amendment to avoid making a climate as if the State wants something new to nationalise or to encroach upon the private property, said Croatian Minister for Development and Reconstruction, Jure Radic, at Thursday's session of the Croatian Parliament's House of Representatives. The final bill on islands, that is in the second reading at the Sabor, intends to create preconditions for halting the demographic and economic decline on islands. The population of the Croatian islands has been almost halved in this century, while the economy, particularly in remote islands has been slumping into a state of torpor, Radic added. One of many stimulating measures is the better traffic connection between islands and the mainland in the coming four years. The Government envisaged measures for giving incentives to the economy, through, for instance, favourable credits, and easy payment terms for water supplies in island households. Benches of opposition parties expressed a series of remarks and objections to the draft bill. The bill will not change anything important, and this is not its ambition either, claimed Damir Kajin of the Istrian Democratic Alliance (IDS) who put it in connection with the run-up to parliamentary elections. Kajin asked why the bill did not mention Brijuni islands. He demanded that these northern Adriatic islands with official residences should be included in the bill and "returned to people." The Croatian Social and Liberal Party (HSLS) also thinks that Brijuni or a part of them should not be the residence ensured only for one man even if it is the President of Republic, said Josko Kontic of the HSLS. Ante Tukic of the Liberal Party (LS) said the decentralisation of the system should be of more assistance to islands. Marin Jurjevic of the Social and Democratic Party (SDP) noticed that in the bill there was no mention of means necessary for its enforcement. The opposition benches welcomed the Government's decision to drop provisions from the law referring to leaving the abandoned land and facilities on the islands at the disposal of the State.
