2024 POLICY ISSUES

1. Equal access for businesses within the EU 

• The European Digital Decade emphasizes the importance of digitalization in improving the business environment, public administration, and citizens’ lives. Big tech companies play a key role in this process, and it’s necessary to ensure fair treatment and equal access for all companies providing digital solutions within the EU, without discrimination.

2. A single point of contact for a digitalization 

• A governing institution is needed for digitalization, which would oversee all digitalization policies, have legislative capacities, and be the central body for digital public services. Currently, different duties and responsibilities are held by the Central State Office for the Development of the Digital Society, several ministries, and agencies. Croatia should have a Ministry of Digitalization to tackle all the challenges arising from this policy area.

3. Croatian legislation on data processing within Croatia and EU

• Croatian data processing legislation needs to be updated in line with EU legislation and the latest technological standards. The goal is to enable cloud data processing when the server is within the EU. 

4. GDPR, data processing and security  

• Amendments to the GDPR Implementation Act, as well as legislation on data processing, servers, and cloud solutions, and personal data security are needed. Existing legislation needs to be updated to keep up with new technological solutions and trends.
