Kompleksowa umowa gospodarczo-handlowa CETA – korzyści i zagrożenia

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

W dniu 21 września 2017 r. tymczasowo weszła w życie1 Kompleksowa umowa gospodarczo‑handlowa (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA)2 – porozumienie handlowe zawarte pomiędzy Unią Europejską a Kanadą. O poziomie doniosłości tego aktu prawnego świadczy zarówno długość okresu prowadzenia negocjacji w zakresie jego treści (lata 2009–2014)3, jak również ogromne zainteresowanie medialne i liczba kontrowersji (fala protestów) związanych z samym zawarciem umowy4, a przede wszystkim zawartość merytoryczna porozumienia wprowadzającego znaczące ułatwienia w wymianie handlowej między Kanadą a państwami członkowskimi Unii Europejskiej. Głównym celem CETA jest likwidacja barier i ograniczeń w stosunkach gospodarczych łączących przedsiębiorstwa działające po obu stronach Atlantyku. Szacuje się, że porozumienie to doprowadzi do zniesienia 98% (docelowo 99%) ceł pobieranych przy wymianie handlowej dokonywanej pomiędzy Kanadą i UE5. Ponadto, CETA ma również m.in. ułatwić przedsiębiorcom inwestowanie w Kanadzie i ubieganie się o udzielenie zamówień publicznych w tym państwie, otwarcie rynku kanadyjskiego na europejskie produkty oraz przynieść wymierne korzyści dla konsumentów6. /fragment wstępu/ 1 https://ec.europa.eu/poland/news/1709201_ceta_pl [Dostęp: 21 maja 2018 r.]. 2 Tekst umowy dostępny na stronie Komisji Europejskiej: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in‑focus/ceta/ceta‑chapter‑by‑chapter/index_pl.htm [Dostęp: 21 maja 2018 r.]. 3 Http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/eu‑ue/policies‑politiques/trade_agreements‑accords_commerciaux.aspx? lang=eng [Dostęp: 21 maja 2018 r.]. 4 Zob. np.: Protesty przeciwko CETA w Europie, https://www.bankier.pl/wiadomosc/Protesty‑przeciwko‑CETA‑w‑Europie‑Galeria‑tygodnia‑7481810.html; Gigantyczny kurczak, dziesiątki transparentów. „CETA stop w Warszawie”, https://www.tvn24.pl/wiadomosci‑z‑kraju,3/protesty‑przeciw‑ceta‑i‑ttip‑w‑polsce, 684214.html; Niemcy: masowe protesty przeciwko umowom transatlantyckim TTIP i CETA, http://www.dw.com/pl/niemcymasowe‑protesty‑przeciwko‑umowom‑transatlantyckim‑ttip‑i‑ceta/a‑19558993 [Dostęp: 21 maja 2018 r.]. 5 Http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2017/february/tradoc_155355.pdf [Dostęp: 21 maja 2018 r.]. 6 Http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in‑focus/ceta/ceta‑explained/index_pl.htm [Dostęp: 21 maja 2018 r.].

Objavljivanjem ugovora do transparentnijih javnih nabava u Bosni i Hercegovini - Analiza pravnog okvira

Author(s): Stanka Pejaković / Language(s): Bosnian

Ugovori o javnoj nabavi nastaju kao rezultat potrebe za učinkovitim korištenjem proračunskih sredstava i poticanja slobodnog tržišnog natjecanja i instrument su za realizaciju javne nabave u praksi. Sklapanjem ugovora o javnoj nabavi započinje nova faza u ostvarivanju javne nabave (posttenderska faza), u kojoj se, također, mogu pojaviti zlouporabe koje negativno utječu na učinkovitost sustava javne nabave. Naime, negativni ekonomski učinci, poput korupcije, nepotizma ili pogodovanja, ne moraju biti nužno vezani za proceduru koja prethodi sklapanju ugovora, već se mogu pojaviti i u posttenderskoj fazi javne nabave. Te zlouporabe bi trebale spriječiti odgovarajuće pravne norme. U Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH) ugovori o javnoj nabavi su regulirani Zakonom o javnim nabavama (dalje u tekstu ZJN), koji uređuje procedure provođenja postupaka javne nabave. Međutim, taj Zakon ugovore o javnoj nabavi ne uređuje u cijelosti, tako da brojna pitanja u vezi sa sklapanjem i izvršavanjem ugovora ostaju izvan dosega regulacije. Zbog toga se na ugovore o javnoj nabavi supsidijarno primjenjuju relevantne odredbe Zakona o obligacionim odnosima BiH (dalje u tekstu ZOO). Posljedično tome javlja se problem primjene načela dispozitivnosti kao temeljnog načela građanskog prava, odnosno slobode volje ugovornih strana pri sklapanju i izvršavanju ugovora o javnoj nabavi, a čiju primjenu je u postupcima javne nabave potrebno ograničiti imperativnim zakonskim odredbama. Objavljivanje ugovora o javnoj nabavi je jedno od pitanja koje ne treba prepustiti slobodnoj volji ugovornih strana i koje treba urediti imperativnim odredbama ZJN-a. Iako su u tekst ZJN-a unesene odredbe o objavljivanju ugovora o javnoj nabavi, te odredbe su nedovoljno precizirane i pojašnjene, a i nedovoljno usklađene s postojećim europskim standardima. Takva regulacija dovodi u pitanje i ispravnu realizaciju načela transparentnosti kao jednog od temeljnih načela u postupcima javne nabave. I prethodna istraživanja u ovom području ukazuju na to da je pitanje transparentnosti ugovora o javnoj nabavi neuralgična točka bosanskohercegovačkog sustava javne nabave. Polazeći od naprijed navedenog, predmet ove studije je podrobnija analiza pitanja objavljivanja ugovora o javnoj nabavi u cilju jačanja načela transparentnosti, koje prema važećoj legislativi u BiH nije na zavidnoj razini. Studija se prvenstveno temelji na analizi zakonskih i podzakonskih akata u bosanskohercegovačkom zakonodavstvu, koji se odnose na objavljivanje sklopljenih ugovora o javnoj nabavi i objavljivanje izmjena takvih ugovora. Istodobno se razmatra i pitanje ograničenja načela transparentnosti načelom zaštite poslovne tajne. Analizirane su one odredbe ZJN-a koje su zbog specifičnosti uređene normama imperativnog karaktera, ali i odnos tih normi prema građanskopravnim normama koje proizlaze iz općeg propisa, tj. ZOO-a. Unatoč tendenciji da se ugovori o javnoj nabavi promatraju kroz prizmu ugovora građanskog prava, priroda specifičnih ugovornih odnosa iz ugovora o javnoj nabavi zahtijeva nešto drukčiji pristup izvršavanju ugovora o javnoj nabavi, a potpuno drukčiji pristup što se tiče objavljivanja ugovora o javnoj nabavi. Razmatrani su i relevantni standardi prava Europske unije (EU) i dobre prakse u pojedinim državama članicama. U nastavku studije predstavljene su glavne rasprave u ovom području, sa fokusom na širi značaj osiguranja transparentnosti ugovora o javnoj nabavi, ne gubeći pri tome iz vida instrumentalni karakter ovog načela. Predočen je pregled međunarodnih standarda u dijelu koji se odnosi na objavljivanje ugovora o javnoj nabavi, s naglaskom na relevantne direktive EU, kao i na komparativna iskustva država članica koje se ističu kao primjeri dobre prakse, sa posebnim osvrtom na zemlje u regiji koje su se pridružile EU (Hrvatska ili Slovenija). Analizira se zakonski okvir koji uređuje pitanje objavljivanja ugovora o javnoj nabavi i objavljivanja izmjena ugovora u BiH, a s ciljem isticanja ključnih aspekata – pozitivnih strana i nedostataka transparentnosti tih ugovora. Razmatraju se i moguća ograničenja načela transparentnosti u vezi sa zaštitom tajnih podataka poduzetnika – gospodarskih subjekata u postupcima javne nabave. U zaključku su sumirani rezultati analize, a u nastavku su ponuđene preporuke za unaprjeđenje postojećeg bosanskohercegovačkog normativnog okvira u dijelu koji se odnosi na objavljivanje ugovora o javnoj nabavi i objavljivanje izmjena toga ugovora tijekom njegovog izvršavanja.

Mapiranje ključnih prepreka za ravnopravno učešće privrednih subjekata u javnim nabavkama u Bosni i Hercegovini

Author(s): Nermina Voloder / Language(s): Bosnian

Sistem javnih nabavki u Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH) karakteriziraju brojne slabosti i nedostaci. Tokom deset godina primjene Zakona o javnim nabavkama BiH uočeno je niz nepravilnosti u provođenju postupaka javne nabavke, kao što su favoriziranje određenih ponuđača putem diskriminirajućih kriterija i tehničkih specifikacija u tenderskoj dokumentaciji, dijeljenje vrijednosti nabavke na niz manjih kako bi se izbjeglo provođenje odgovarajućeg postupka predviđenog za javne nabavke veće vrijednosti, nabavka roba, usluga ili radova bez provedenog postupka javne nabavke, pribjegavanje zaključivanju aneksa postojećih ugovora kojim se povećava vrijednost nabavke ili na drugi način mijenjaju uvjeti ugovora sklopljenog na osnovu postupka javne nabavke. Nepravilnosti i zloupotrebe u oblasti javnih nabavki, između ostalog, u velikoj mjeri su pogodovale širenju korupcije i otežanom poslovanju privatnog sektora u BiH. Istraživanja su pokazala da korupcija predstavlja jednu od značajnih smetnji za rad privatnih preduzeća i ukupni ekonomski razvoj ne samo u BiH već i u zemljama regiona. Također, izvještaji međunarodnih i nevladinih organizacija i predstavnika poslovnog sektora u BiH unazad nekoliko godina ukazuju na propuste i nezakonitosti u sistemu javnih nabavki, koje narušavaju osnovne principe pravične i aktivne konkurencije, transparentnosti, jednakog tretmana ponuđača te efikasnog i odgovornog trošenja javnih sredstava. Ovaj izvještaj nastao je kao rezultat potrebe da se identificiraju ključni problemi u oblasti javnih nabavki na osnovu anketiranja reprezentativnog uzorka predstavnika poslovne zajednice koji su imali neposredno iskustvo u javnim nabavkama u BiH. Izvještaj se bazira na rezultatima istraživanja, provedenog tokom 2014. godine, čiji je osnovni cilj bio mapiranje glavnih prepreka s kojima se privredni subjekti u BiH suočavaju u postupcima javnih nabavki u BiH. U istraživanju su učestvovali predstavnici privatnih preduzeća različitih veličina (mikro, mala, srednja i velika preduzeća) i iz različitih grana privrede iz čitave BiH. Istraživanje daje uvid u stavove i percepcije, ali i stvarna iskustva predstavnika poslovnog sektora u BiH kada su u pitanju različiti aspekti i faze javnih nabavki. U tom kontekstu, ovo je prvo anketno istraživanje u BiH u kojem se identificiraju ključni problemi u oblasti javnih nabavki, oslanjajući se na stavove i iskustva predstavnika poslovnog sektora koji su sudjelovali u postupcima javnih nabavki. Za potrebe ovog izvještaja, u kojem se prezentiraju glavne prepreke za učešće privrednih subjekata u javnim nabavkama, ispitanici su okviru istraživanja odgovarali na pitanja koja se, između ostalog, odnose na dostupnost javnih poziva o nabavci, definiranje kvalifikacionih kriterija i tehničkih specifikacija, primjenu odgovarajuće vrste postupka, transparentnost ishoda postupaka, pravnu zaštitu, kontrolu realizacije ugovora o javnoj nabavci, percepciju stepena korupcije u javnim nabavkama, te povjerenje u fer i pravično provođenje postupaka javnih nabavki i dr. Ispitivanje praksi koje otežavaju efikasno tržišno poslovanje te identificiranje oblasti u kojima je rizik od pojave korupcije najizraženiji prepoznato je i u strateškim dokumentima vlasti u BiH kao neophodna mjera za kreiranje efikasnih politika usmjerenih ka suzbijanju korupcije u BiH. Ovo istraživanje se prirodno uklapa u takav normativni i strateški okvir. Naime, budući da su javne nabavke posebno ranjive na korupciju, podaci iz ovog izvještaja mogu poslužiti kao korisne smjernice donosiocima odluka u BiH za unapređenje regulatornog okvira i praksi u javnim nabavkama. U nastavku izvještaja prezentirane su osnovne odlike sistema javnih nabavki, kao i detaljne napomene o metodologiji istraživanja. Rezultati istraživanja koji reflektiraju iskustva predstavnika privatnog sektora u javnim nabavkama u BiH predstavljeni su četvrtom poglavlju, i to prema svim fazama ciklusa javnih nabavki. U zaključku se sumiraju ključni rezultati i upućuje na daljnja istraživanja i analize koje je u ovoj oblasti neophodno provesti.
