Horizontal Approach to Network Industries in Croatia

Sažetak

More than two decades ago in the European Union law,
competition has started entering economic activities, organised
traditionally under the concept of services of general
economic interest. Special and exclusive rights have
gradually been abolished in important industries like telecommunications,
postal services, energy or railways.
European Union policy has opted to prioritize efficiency
over social issues in those industries by adopting liberalisation
agendas. Previous monopolies have undertaken
long restructuring processes to meet upcoming competition.
However, entering and positioning in the market has
not proven to be a short process for new-comers either.
Although network industries display differences among
themselves, there are common trans-sector issues which
allow a horizontal approach. This brings into focus the actual
role of different national regulatory and competition
authorities in different stages of market regulation and the
ways of coordinating their function in multisector patternsin the future. In this respect and as a way to move ahead,
we propose an integrated institutional pathway, allowing
more expertise sharing (shared services) among national regulators
and their better positioning in the Croatian society
and economy.
