Yesterday, MPs continued the debate on the proposal for a new law on companies, with messages from the authorities that the new regulation will contribute to development and further harmonization with European legislation and the fear of the opposition that the practice and management of companies "will continue to be directed by politics and party centers".
Independent MP Aleksandar Damjanović said that 10 years have passed since the adoption of the law and that "public enterprises such as party bastions, national parks and Morsko dobro have not yet been transformed".
He proposed amendments that would allow shareholders with one percent of ownership (instead of five percent) to have access to documentation, to limit the disposal of board of directors members to 10 percent of the property value (now up to 20 percent), without a decision of the company's assembly, He insisted that the holding of shareholders' assemblies must be held at company headquarters (to prevent the convening of meetings around the world), as well as to limit the mandates of board members to two instead of four years.
Budimir Aleksić (DF) assessed that "business companies should be depoliticized" and asked if this is possible and realistic in Montenegro, where everything is politicized."
"Is there any area of social and public life that is not politicized? This is a country of incompetents, suitable for the party and obedient to the regime... People with education have no chance here. That's why various Verice Maraš and others in state-owned enterprises have almost 10.000 euros each and upwards," said Aleksić.
Damjanović proposed amendments, including that the mandates of members of the board of directors be limited to two instead of the current four years
DPS MP Andrija Nikolić said that in 2006 the average salary in Montenegro was 282 euros, and today it is 515 euros.
"The average pension in 2006 was 142 euros, and today it is 289 euros. This government, which includes DPS, SD, BS and other coalition partners, makes sure that every new product means a new job. There are shortcomings, but until the crisis appeared, economic growth of up to five percent was one of the highest in Europe. This tells us that the government was doing a serious job," said Nikolić.
He assessed that the adoption of this law will contribute to the improvement of the business environment for companies.
The debate on this bill should be finished today, and the MPs will give their opinion on it later.
