CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ROCKED BY "TRANSFORMATION" DEBATE

ZAGREB, Nov 15 (Hina) - A round table discussion on transformation of ownership and privatisation, which included fifty experts, was held today at the Croatian Chamber of Commerce. A paper titled "Transformation" by Gust Santini and Zeljko Rohatinski was the reference framework for the debate. Offering several alternative privatisation models, the authors said the distribution of the state-owned 7.5 billion DEM among Croatia's 4.5 million-strong population would bring each citizen a 1.600 DEM bonus - which would be compensation "for everything that has gone wrong in the privatisation process so far." Ivan Jelaci, on behalf of the Association for Return of Property and Property Rights, called for denationalisation laws to be passed and for a "moratorium" on transformation to be implemented.
