THE ISSUE OF VALORISATION OF LEGITIMATE INVESTMENTS IN NAUTICAL TOURISM PORTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Izgradnjom luke nautičkog turizma u Republici Hrvatskoj koncesionar, osim prava na gospodarsko korištenje luke prema odluci i ugovoru o koncesiji, ne stječe nikakva prava ni na luci niti na objektima koje je izgradio. Sve ono što je ugrađeno, dograđeno ili na bilo koji način trajno spojeno s pomorskim dobrom ostat će dio pomorskog dobra, čija će vrijednost time nesporno biti uvećana. Cilj je ovoga rada utvrditi u kojim će slučajevima koncesionar koji je svoja sredstva uložio u pomorsko dobro u Republici Hrvatskoj i time mu povećao vrijednost imati pravo na naknadu za izvršena ulaganja. Iako Zakon o pomorskom dobru i morskim lukama (u daljnjem tekstu: ZPDML) i Zakon o koncesijama (u daljnjem tekstu: ZOK) predviđaju cijeli niz razloga za prestanak koncesije, u radu se analizira isključivo problematika valorizacije ulaganja u slučaju kada koncesija prestaje istekom vremena na koji je dana. Posebna pozornost posvećena je pitanjima produljenja koncesije (uključujući i automatsko produljenje), dodjele prvenstvene koncesije, novčane naknade koja bi se dodijelila primjenom instituta stjecanja bez osnove, te naknade nužnih i korisnih troškova koji nisu bili predviđeni u dokumentaciji o koncesiji, kao mogućim načinima naknade onoga što je koncesionar uložio, a što premašuje iznos sredstava ulaganje kojih je predviđeno odlukom i ugovorom o koncesiji. U svezi s navedenim pitanjem posebno se razmatra problematika primjenjivog nacionalnog prava, odnosno odnos ZOK-a i ZPDML-a, i ispituje utjecaj pravila Europske unije o dodjeli ugovora o koncesijama i uslugama na unutarnjem tržištu, odnosno Direktiva 2014/23/EU i Direktiva 2006/123/EZ, na tumačenje i primjenu nacionalnog prava. Analizira se i sudska praksa Suda Europske unije vezana uz tumačenje relevantnih odredbi tih Direktiva. Pored toga, ukazuje se i na neka rješenja i dvojbe koja su se u komparativnim pravima pojavila vezano uz pitanja dodjele i produljenja ugovora o koncesiji. Naposljetku, predlažu se rješenja vezano uz mogućnosti valorizacije ulaganja koncesionara u lukama nautičkog turizma de lege ferenda.With the construction of a nautical tourism port in the Republic of Croatia its concessionaire, except the right to economically exploit the port he built, in accordance with the decision and contract on concession, has no other rights on the port and objects he built. Everything incorporated, later added or in any way permanently attached to maritime domain will remain its part, consequently its value will be increased. The aim of this paper is to determine in which cases the concessionaire who invested in maritime domain in the Republic of Croatia, and in that way increased its value has right to compensation for the investments he made. Although Maritime Domain and Seaports Act (MDSA) and Concession Act (CA) prescribe a whole series of reasons for termination of concession, the paper analyses exclusively the issue of valorisation of investments in case of its termination by expiration of time on which it is granted. Special attention will be devoted to issues of extension of concession (including its automatic renewal) right to priority concession, financial compensation which will be assigned by application of institute of gains without legal foundation, compensation of necessary and useful expenses which were not foreseen in the documentation on concession, as possible forms of reimbursement of that what the concessionaire has invested and what exceeds the amounts of resources anticipated with the decision and contract on concession. In relation to that matter, the issue of applicable national legal rules is particularly analysed, respectively the relation between CA and MDSA. We also investigate the influence of rules of the European Union on award of concession contracts and services in the internal market, respectively Directive 2014/23/EU and Directive 2006/123/EC on the interpretation and application of national rules. Judicial practice of the Court of Justice of the European Union which refers to interpretation of the relevant provisions of these Directives is analysed. Further, it is pointed to some solutions and doubts that emerged in comparative laws in relation to issues of awarding and extension of concession. Finally, solutions with respect to possibilities of valorization of the concessionaire’s investment in nautical tourism ports in the Republic of Croatia de lege ferenda are submitted
