POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS FOR AMENDMENTS OF CROATIAN COMPANY LAW

Rad daje smjernice nekih budućih izmjena i dopuna domaćeg prava društva kojima se teži stvaranju konkurentnijeg i jasnijeg pravnog okvira koji će biti jednako privlačan domaćim i stranim poduzetnicima. Konkurentan i jasan pravni okvir može pridonijeti jačanju domaćega gospodarstva i pravne sigurnosti te stvaranju povoljne poduzetničke klime. Rad je podijeljen na dva osnovna dijela. U prvom se dijelu daju prijedlozi za izmjene i dopune zakonskoga rješenja na području osnivanja trgovačkih društava. Tako se, primjerice, analizira mogućnost uspostave one stop shop usluge i online osnivanja trgovačkog društva, uvođenje društva kapitala bez zahtjeva minimalnog iznosa temeljnoga kapitala, kao i druge mogućnosti usmjerene na pojednostavljenje osnivanja trgovačkih društva u Hrvatskoj (npr. ukidanje izjave osnivača da nisu porezni dužnici). U drugom se dijelu rada analiziraju, a potom i daju određeni prijedlozi usmjereni na poboljšanje postojećih zakonskih rješenja i uklanjanje nejasnoća koje narušavaju pravnu sigurnosti, a mogu dovesti i do neujednačenih rezultata u poslovnoj i sudskoj praksi. Tako se, primjerice, daju prijedlozi za uređenje mogućnosti davanja razrješnice članovima organa društva s ograničenom odgovornošću, odlučivanje članova upotrebom drugih sredstava komunikacije izvan skupštine društva s ograničenom odgovornošću, odobrenje nagrade članovima prvog nadzornog odbora dioničkog društva, sudjelovanje članova uprave na sjednicama nadzornog odbora te stavljanje protuprijedloga dioničara prije početka i tijekom glavne skupštine društva.This contribution aims to provide directions for some possible future amendments of domestic company law regulation. Intent of such amendments is to facilitate creation of a more competitive and understandable legal framework that will be equally attractive to both domestic and foreign investors. Establishment of such legal framework can contribute to the strengthening of economy and legal certainty as well as creation of a favourable investment environment. Contribution is divided into two distinct parts. First part provides suggestions relating to amendments in the field of company incorporation. For example, consideration is given to establishment of one stop shop service as well as online incorporation, introduction of the limited liability company without the minimal share capital requirement and other similar areas which can contribute to the simplification of company incorporation procedure (e.g. abolition of the founder’s statement of tax debt non-existence). Second part provides suggestions for amendments aimed at improvement of existing legal solutions and removal of ambiguities that undermine legal certainty which can result in non-uniform application in business dealings and judicial practice. For example, suggestions are given in regard to the clearance given to the management and supervisory board members of a private company limited by shares, decision making by shareholders through use of means that do not require them to be physically present at the general meeting of a private company limited by shares, fee approval to the members of the first supervisory board of a public company limited by shares, attendance of management board members at the supervisory board meetings and making counter-proposals by company shareholders before and during the general meeting of the company
