ZAGREB, Nov 26 (Hina) - The Croatian government on Thursday
forwarded into urgent parliamentary procedure a bill on changes and
amendments to the Income Tax Law and a bill on changes to Value Added
Tax Law.
A new bill on banks, forwarded into third reading, among else
enables the Croatian Central Bank to exert speedy and preventive
action when certain banks get in trouble.
Most remarks from the parliamentary discussion on the said bill
were adopted. Rejected from the bill's text were provisions
stipulating personal liability of members of management and
supervisory boards for a bank's business, and the bank's obligation
to enter the Zagreb stock market in set deadlines.
Changes to the Croatian Railways (HZ) Law were forwarded into
second parliamentary reading. In efforts to bring HZ up to date, the
government granted state guarantees for running a DEM 60 million
foreign debt.
Premier Zlatko Matesa recalled that the government was supporting
HZ's restructuring and state-of-the-art improvement through
budgetary transfers. The government would persist in implementing
the said programmes, as it was the only way of increasing HZ's
business and effectiveness.
Matesa said the responsibility for the improvement must be borne by
all, the government, as well as the HZ management and employees.
"Every strike takes us further from restructuring, modernisation,
increased business, tasks in which the government will persist," he
concluded.
