Government Institutions Who Do Not Obey The Law

Out of 30 ministries, institutions and offices, 15 of them do not run according to the law. These are the results of the national revision.

The government is not a good master of companies it owns either.

This is proved by the fact that of the nine government companies, only three passed – Croatia Airlines, Air controllers, Central depository agency.

Croatian electric power company (HEP), Narodne Novine, Antennas and communications, Croatian railways, Croatian postal service, and the Croatian radio and television (HRT) were all given a conditional pass.

However it is interesting that these are the results of the national revision of 2005, and the results for 2006 are missing.

As far as ministries are concerned, the revision established that the ministry of science and education did not post a public competition for any of its services. More precisely, buying consumable IT goods worth 318,916 kuna, photocopier service fees of 280,413 kuna, and services of graphical preparation and printing commercial materials worth 340,332 kuna.

Ivan Suker’s ministry did not register its data promptly enough. On certain receipts data was incomplete or not stated, and the reason for this is business changes in accounts which are registered only according to the principle of money flow – an interesting piece of information since it concerns finances.

The results of the revision say that the ministry of economy, employment and entrepreneurship did not comply to the guidelines for the supply of goods and services, did not have plan on how to spend national funds, nor did they take action to speed up the financial rehabilitation of Sibenik’s TLM, and the funds for subsidizing loans were not paid out according to the county report.

HZZO (Croatian Institute For Health Insurance), like the year earlier, did not comply to the law of public competitions for their supply of medicine.

In the taxation office revisers concluded that inspections and oversight of certain large tax payers has not been done for nearly nine years, from 1989 and 1999.

Revisers also noticed that the national taxation office in financial reports did not show the total demands for payments and taxes which total more than 23 billion kunas, for which the office is responsible.
