In all the systems aspiring towards free trade it is of essence to reconcile this interest with the protection of other values; also, the member stets agree to certain restrictions of their regulatory autonomy for the system on the whole to strike an optimal balance among the relevant interests. In relatively heterogeneous systems such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the members hold on to a significant portion of their regulatory autonomy in order to protect their values though this hampers the liberalization of trade. In relatively homogeneous systems, however, such as the European Union (EU), the members find it opportune to agree to tighter restrictions of their regulatory autonomy since thus they allow for increased trade without severely harming the other values. For Croatia it is good that the liberalization of trade & the restriction of regulatory autonomy have been gradual, occurring in four stages: the WTO membership, the Stabilization & Accession Agreement, negotiations on the EU membership & eventually the full EU membership.

Cijepljenje spašava od obolijevanja, nesposobnosti za život i rad te spašava živote od brojnih zaraznih bolesti. Europski ured Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije (SZO) radi na ujednačavanju i osnaživanju svih potrebnih preduvjeta kako bi se povećao obuhvat i osiguralo cijepljenje što većeg broja stanovnika u zemljama europske regije SZO, te kako bi se postigla što veća kvaliteta i ujednačenost u planiranju, organizaciji, obuhvatu i provođenju cijepljenja. Od ukupno 26 do sada dostupnih i široko korištenih cjepiva u svijetu, njih 14 se sustavno primjenjuje i pojavljuje u gotovo svim kalendarima cijepljenja zemalja europske regije SZO. Europska regija SZO obuhvaća 53 europske zemlje koje se dijele na 25 zapadnoeuropskih, 16 centralnih i jugoistočnih zemalja te 12 nezavisnih država nastalih raspadom bivšeg Sovjetskog Saveza. Posebnu pozornost treba usmjeriti na ujednačenost mehanizama financiranja, legislative, kvalifikacijsku strukturu osoblja, praćenje zdravstvenih posljedica, stavova javnosti o cijepljenju te ukupne predanosti svih segmenata društva za što uspješniju i ujednačeniju implementaciju programa cijepljenja u zemljama europske regije SZO. ; Vaccination prevents illness, inability to live and work, and saves lives from many infectious diseases. The European Office of the World Health Organization (WHO) is working to harmonize and strengthen all necessary preconditions in order to increase coverage and ensure vaccination of as many people as possible in the countries of the WHO European Region and to achieve greater quality and uniformity in planning, organization, coverage and conducting vaccinations. Out of a total of 26 vaccines available and widely used in the world so far, 14 of them are systematically applied and appear in almost all immunization schedules in the countries of the WHO European Region.

Osim globalnih organizacija, u svijetu je formiran i velik broj regionalnih organizacija koje djeluju na svim kontinentima. Početni oblik integracije bilo je formiranje Zone slobodne trgovine, zatim Carinske unije, Zajedničkog tržišta, Monetarne unije, pa sve do najsloženijeg oblika Ekonomske unije. Danas sve zemlje svijeta sudjeluju u nekim oblicima integracija, dok su neke članice i više regionalnih organizacija. Proces integracije nije lak i jednostavan put, već dugotrajan i složen. Neki od razloga zašto se zemlje odlučuju ući u razne regionalne ekonomske organizacije su proširenje svog tržišta, povećanje konkurentnosti, bolje korištenje resursa, efikasnija proizvodnja i sl. Integracija podrazumijeva da se zemlje članice prilagode određenim pravilima, te da se povežu u smislu razvijanje međusobne suradnje i da tako ostvare cilj radi kojeg se organizacija i formirala. Kao primjer najuspješnije regionalne ekonomske organizacije zasigurno je Europska unija koja se formirala još davne 1951. godine te djeluje i danas s time da povećava broj svojih članica te širi svoj teritorij na Europskom kontinentu. ; In addition to global organizations, a lot of regional organizations have been formed across all continents. The initial form of integration was the establishment of a Free-trade zone, then a Customs Union, a Common Market, a Monetary Union, and finally the most complex form of organization an Economic Union. Today all countries in the world participate in some form of integration, and some even participate in multiple regional organizations. The integration process is not an easy and simple process, but a long and complex one. Some of the reasons why countries decide to participate in various regional economic organizations are the expansion of their markets, increase of competitiveness, better use of resources, more efficient production etc. The integration means that Member States have to conform to certain rules, and to connect in terms of development cooperation, in order to achieve the goal for which the ...

It is still active today, increasing the number of its members and expanding its territory on the European continent.
In this article the author attempts to analyse the power relationships in the Yugoslav society, in post-war historical perspective of development. He is using the difference between power and meta-power as the conceptual framework. The whole development can be demonstrated as the creation of a system by actors who have meta-power and who want to negate their own meta-power by development of self-management. However, the spontaneous developments lead to such social structuring which challenges the established structure of meta^power. The dilemma with which those having meta-power are faced is whether to intervene into the development of the system and thus »come to surface« as the one having meta-power, or leave the development to remain spontaneous and in such a manner endanger their meta-power. Particular attention has been paid to the relationship between an enterprise and the political system as that sphere of the social system where the processes described in this article are shown with great clarity.
Croatia, together with some 30 countries, is waiting to be admitted into the World Trade Organization. Membership in the WTO is the first step in membership in CEFTA & one of the overture steps in joining the European Union. Apart from the undeniable benefits that WTO membership brings, there are numerous pitfalls & sacrifices facing Croatia, which at the beginning may have a detrimental effect on some sectors of economy. Among the sectors most vulnerable to global competition is that of agriculture & food production. Its position on the local market will be significantly weakened, since it is uncompetitive even at the present level of protective tariffs. The central issue in the negotiations for admitting a country or a group of countries into this organization are protective tariffs in this sector. There is no doubt that Croatia will have to reduce these protective measures to the level required by the WTO. What is that going to mean for Croatian agriculture? To what extent is Croatian agriculture (un)prepared to meet these demands? What are the possible consequences in light of the strategic importance of agriculture for any country, Croatia being no exception? 1 Table, 18 References. Adapted from the source document.
Previše je komentatora koji krivnju za zločin povezuju s drogom. Da, oni su uistinu povezani, ali smjer uzrokovanja ide gotovo suprotno. Radi se o tome da zabrana supstanci koje uzrokoju ovisnost vodi do zločinačkog ponašanja, a ne obrnuto. Ukoliko želimo sigurnost povezanu s drogom, utoliko je legalizacija preferentno rješenje za javnu politiku. ; All too many commentators blame crime on drugs. Yes, the two are indeed correlated, but the direction of causation is almost entirely in the opposite direction. It is the prohibition of addictive substances that leads to criminal behavior, not the other way around. If we want drug safety, legalization is the preferred public policy solution.
Neprofitne organizacije imaju značajnu ulogu u društvu jer djeluju ondje i u onom trenutku gdje država i tržište ne mogu ispuniti društvene potrebe. One potiču rast i razvoj društva te nastoje zadovoljiti interese i pojedinaca i javnosti bez namjere ostvarivanja profita. Upravo zato što imaju tako važnu ulogu u društvu javlja se interes za analizom njihove financijske održivosti koju ovaj rad pruža kroz analizu financijskih izvještaja istih s osvrtom na samo računovodstvo financiranja. Predmet analize su dvije neprofitne organizacije, Udruga za prirodu, okoliš i održivi razvoj Sunce te Udruga SOS Dječje selo Hrvatska. Na temelju financijskih izvještaja navedenih organizacija provodi se vertikalna i horizontalna analiza, izračunavaju odabrani pokazatelji neprofitnih organizacija, a potom se pomoću dobivenih rezultata iznosi zaključak o održivosti financiranja istih. Postavlja se pitanje jesu li prihodi ostvareni iz vlastitih izvora gore navedenih organizacija dostatni za njihovu financijsku održivost, ulažu li prikupljena sredstva na odgovarajući način, te koliko koristi svojim djelovanjem uistinu donose društvenoj zajednici. Rad daje teorijski uvod u pojmovno određenje, vrste, obilježja i specifičnosti neprofitnih organizacija, te regulatorni okvir unutar kojeg posluju, uz detaljnu razradu obilježja računovodstva, te načela sustava financijskog poslovanja. Ključan dio odnosi se na analizu računovodstva financiranja dviju odabranih organizacija, gdje se kroz temeljnu horizontalnu i vertikalnu analizu računa prihoda i rashoda, kao i bilance dolazi do ocjene održivosti financiranja promatranih organizacija koristeći se dodatno odabranim pokazateljima. Potvrđuje se glavna hipoteza rada, a to je da prihodi ostvareni iz vlastitih izvora odabranih analiziranih neprofitnih organizacija nisu dostatni za financijsku održivost istih. ; Non-profit organizations play a significant role in society because they operate at a time when the state and the market cannot meet all social needs. They stimulate the growth and development of society and seek to satisfy the interests of both individuals and the public without the intention of making a profit. There is an interest in analyzing non-profit organizations financial sustainability, which this paper provides through analyzing their financial statements with a focus on accounting itself, because they play such an important role in society. The subject of the analysis are two non-profit organizations, the Association for Nature, Environment and Sustainable Development "Sunce" and the Association SOS "Dječje selo" Croatia. Based on the financial statements of the aforementioned organizations, a vertical and horizontal analysis is carried out, the selected indicators of non-profit organizations are calculated, and then, based on the obtained results, a conclusion is reached on the sustainability of their financing. The question arises as to whether the revenues generated from the own sources of the above mentioned organizations are sufficient for their financial sustainability, whether they raise the funds appropriately, and how much benefit they actually bring to the community. The paper provides a theoretical introduction to the conceptual framework, types, characteristics and specificities of non-profit organizations, as well as the regulatory framework within which they operate, detailing the characteristics of accounting and the principles of the financial management system. A key part relates to the analysis of the accounting of financing of these two selected organizations, where through a basic horizontal and vertical analysis of the Revenues and expenditure statement, as well as the Balance sheet, the sustainability of the financing of the observed organizations is assessed using additionally selected indicators. The main hypothesis of this paper is confirmed, namely, that the revenues generated from the own sources of the selected analyzed non-profit organizations are not sufficient for their financial viability.
In every country, the WTO rules should be viewed from two perspectives: (1) They are used to facilitate access to other countries' markets. (2) The mechanisms for the protection of a country's economy (which make up the bulk of the WTO regulations) are used for the justified & unjustified protection of a country's economy. The author analyzes GATT's basic norms & the Uruguay round of multilateral trade negotiations, with focus on the sector-accommodation policy, using financial services as an illustration. The creation of the WTO disposed of some shortcomings noticeable in GATT, eg, the temporary character of the regulations, the stable & predictable set of obstacles at the borders, & the objective procedures for dispute resolution. To implement the Uruguay session, which includes the GATT, all WTO member states are obliged to adopt its multilateral discipline & rules & bring their national regulations in line with the accepted obligations. The author concludes that the outcomes of the Uruguay session enhanced the role of world trade as a dynamizing factor of the growth of the world economy. 1 Table, 11 References.
