Meeting with OECD representatives

In the process of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Trade Committee evaluates the openness of the candidate country's market and analyzes how the procedures, practices and regulatory regimes affect trade and foreign investments, i.e. their trade aspects. These are several basic principles of trade integration that arise from the broader context of the OECD's work on the principles of good regulatory practice and effective regulation that promote market openness in all sectors, in trade in goods, agricultural products and services.

During the evaluation process, OECD representatives visit the candidate country and, in addition to representatives of state administration bodies, they also meet with representatives of the private sector, trade partners and other stakeholders with whom they discuss the business environment and investment climate in Croatia.

Those topics were discussed by Saša Jovičić, Chair of the Public Procurement Committee; Hrvoje Jelić, Chair of the Trade and Investment Committee; Marko Porobija, Chair of the Judicial Committee; Krešimir Lipovšćak, Judicial Committee member; Andrea Doko Jelušić, AmCham’s Executive Director and Svjetlana Momčilović, Policy Manager.
On behalf of the OECD, Evdokia Moise, Senior Trade Policy Analyst and Spela Berlizg from the Trade Policy Division, Trade and Agriculture Directorate participated in the meeting.
