Zagreb - The Croatian parliament will this week discuss some 60 bills related to the introduction of the euro as legal tender as well as the annual report on the work of the Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA) in 2021, which the government has assessed as unsatisfactory.
After a recent INA gas resale scam, HERA has come under public scrutiny over its role in the issuing of a permit for trade in natural gas to the OMS company, which was one of the key levers in the operation in which INA was defrauded of more than one billion kuna.
HERA's role in the case was criticised last Friday by the parliamentary committee on the economy, which asked that its leading people step down.
HERA Steering Board chairman Danijel Žamboki did so on Monday, but his deputy and three members of the Steering Board have still not done it.
HERA's Steering Board is appointed and relieved of duties by the parliament, which does so following a proposal by the government.
The parliament will discuss the HERA report on Thursday while on Wednesday it will hold a discussion on amendments to some 60 laws that have to be adopted due to the introduction of the euro.
The parliament will also discuss on Wednesday a bill on public procurement to prevent unnecessary appeals that delay public procurement procedures as well as expedite the procedure of dealing with appeals.
