Unsolved questions in the application of the Maritime Domain and Seaports Act with suggestions for amendments

Pomorsko dobro u Zakonu o pomorskom dobru i morskim lukama (NN 158/03) određeno je kao u ranije važećem Pomorskom zakoniku. Za određivanje granice pomorskog dobra na obali i u lukama posebne namjene pojavljuju se dvojbe i pitanja na koja se daju različiti odgovori. No u lukama otvorenim za javni promet to je prilično jasno određeno pa su dvojbe i pitanja skoro isključena. Zakonom je izričito navedeno da morska obala uključuje i dio kopna nastao nasipavanjem, u dijelu koji služi iskorištavanju mora. Radi unošenja određene preciznosti predlažemo da se pitanje nasipa uredi slično odredbama Zakona o gradnji, odnosno da se pomorskim dobrom smatraju nasipi nastali nakon 15. veljače 1968. godine. Smatramo da je u Zakonu načinjen propust u tome što se u postupku utvrđivanja granice pomorskog dobra nije zadržao institut Uredbe o granici pomorskog dobra (koju donosi Vlada RH a uz prethodno pozitivno mišljenje Državnog odvjetništva RH). Mišljenja smo da bi prilikom izradbe detaljnih planova uređenja prostora na stručnu raspravu trebalo pozivati predstavnike Povjerenstva za granice pomorskog dobra i tražiti njihova mišljenja, odnosno očitovanja o tome da li predloženi planovi zadovoljavaju kriterije za utvrđivanje granice pomorskog dobra. Postupke dodjele koncesija na pomorskom dobru treba vezati uz donošenje rješenja o upisu pomorskog dobra u katastarske knjige, a potom raditi na sređivanju zemljišnih knjiga i evidenciji pomorskog dobra. (...)In the Maritime Domain and Seaports Act (\u27National Gazette\u27 No 158/03, hereinafter refered to as the \u27Act\u27) maritime domain is regulated in the same way as in the Maritime Code which was earlier in force. In the course of determining the boundaries of maritime domain on shore and in the ports for special purposes doubts and questions arise to which different answers are given. In the ports open for public traffic this is relatively clear and hence such doubts andambiguities are almost excluded. The Act provides explicitly thet the seashore includes also that part of the land which has been fprmed by dumping earth in the area intended for the exploitation of the sea. In order to obtain greater precision we suggest that the question of dumping be regulated as in the Building Act, namely that the dumps deposited after 15th od February 1968 be considered as maritime domain. There is an ommision in the Act because in the course of determining thr boundaries of maritime domain the institute od the Decree on the boundaries of maritime domain has not be retained which is brought by the Government of the Republic of Croatia with a previous positive opinion of the State Attorney of the Republic of Croatia. The granting of concession on a maritime domain should be connected with the issuing of the decision on the entry of the maritime domain in the land register and thereafter one should proceed to bring into order the land registers and records of maritime domains.
