ZAGREB, May 13 (Hina) - Croatian Economy Minister Davor Stern and
Dutch Foreign Minister Anneke Van Dok nee Van Weele on Monday
signed a Letter of Agreement on economic cooperation between the
two countries. #L#
Van Weele stressed that the Netherlands had prepared a special
Technical Assistance Program for countries in transition, which
would provide an incentive for foreign investments in those
countries.
Croatia is also included in the program for which the
Netherlands have set aside 2,5 million guilders.
Although trade between the two countries had risen 21 percent
over the period between 1994 and 1995, economic cooperation should
expand even more, Stern said.
The expansion should be realized through agreements on
avoiding double taxation and incentives for investments which the
two countries were considering as a legal basis for further
development of economic cooperation, Stern added.
