COUNTY HOUSE WRAPS UP SECOND DAY OF 36. SESSION

ZAGREB, 4 June (Hina) - The Count House of the Croatian parliament closed its business today by turning down a bill of an amendment to a sales tax, proposed by the SDP. The bill was presented by MP Zeljka Antunovic, who said printing industry is an economic activity and not a service. Deputy Finance Minister Mijo Jukic countered this view by saying that the government decided to turn down the bill because it considers printing both an economic activity and a service. The majority of the House voted in favour of the government's motion for the winding up of court martials. According to Deputy Justice Minister Ivan Lovric, the Government believes the courts martials have already served their purpose and are not needed any more in the Croatian judicial system.
