Amendments to the decision on concession of maritime demesne

U članku se vrši analiza jedne odluke Vlade Republike Hrvatske koja je po mišljenju autora pravno neutemeljena, odnosno zasnovana je na pogrešnim premisama oko ingerencija države u procesu koncesioniranja luka posebne namjene, koje spadaju u luke od interesa za Republiku Hrvatsku, prema kriteriju broja luka u sustavu. Ovaj kriterij za proglašavanje luke posebne namjene je uveden odlukom Vlade Republike Hrvatske koji je donesen isključivo iz razloga da bi se jedan jedini subjekt to jest jedno trgovačko društvo stavilo u poseban režim poslovanja. Ovo je učinjeno jer je to trgovačko društvo u većinskom vlasništvu države i time su gotovo nedvojbeno narušena načela tržišnog natjecanja propisana u Ustavu Republike Hrvatske. Najvažnija implikacija ovakve odluke je njeno zadiranje u vlasničke odnose u samom dioničkom društvu, pri čemu su dugovi tog trgovačkog društva napravljeni sa osnova neplaćanja koncesijske naknade prema drugom koncedentu pretvoreni u vlasnički udio države, po mišljenju ovog autora nezakonito i protupravno.In this article, an analysis is made of a decision of the Republic of Croatia which is, according to the author’s opinion, legally unfounded. Namely, it is based on erroneous premises about the authority of the state in the process of the concession of ports for particular purposes, which belong to the category of ports of interest to the Republic of Croatia, according to the criterion of the number of ports in the system. This criterion for declaring a port for a particular purpose was introduced by a decision of the Republic of Croatia which was reached exclusively for the reason that a single subject, that is, a corporation be placed in a special business regime. This was done because the state is the majority shareholder of that corporation. Thereby, the principles of market competition prescribed in the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia were almost certainly destroyed. The most important implication of such a decision is its interference with ownership relations in the very company itself in which the debts of that corporation made on the basis of non-payment of concession fees to the other grantor are transformed into a proprietary share of the state. This, according to the author’s opinion, is illegal and unlawful
