New position paper „Creating a Single National Court Register“
American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia has published a new position paper „Creating a Single National Court Register".
The Croatian system of record registration and record-keeping on legal entities and other essential data was established in 1993 with the adoption of the first Court Register Act. This system is based on the court register model, which consists of territorially divided court registers.
However, that system, which is almost 30 years old, has increasingly more shortcomings that significantly affect the ease of starting up and managing a business, including what was originally the goal of the system – the legal certainty of economic operators that must be registered in the court register.
The emergence of the Internet, increased mobility of people given better transport in parts of the country, accession to the European Union, and the maturation of the market economy in Croatia are the main factors prompting the reconsideration and reform of the court register system, i.e., the system of registers of companies and other legal entities as a whole.
Therefore, AmCham would like to use this position paper to propose reforming the system with the aim of aligning it with current and future needs and reaffirming the primary role of the register for which it was originally established.
