The UGP called Shushnjara: "You can't write us an invoice and refuse to show the invoice"

The Association of Entrepreneurs (UGP) has called on the Ministry of Economy to clarify the costs associated with implementing a new regulation regarding base prices and product pricing lists, which will affect artisans, micro-enterprises, and small businesses. The UGP argues that while inflation continues, the new bureaucratic measures could impose additional financial burdens on these businesses. They question the cost of adapting price lists, websites, and computer programs, as well as the number of additional work hours required. The UGP criticizes the ministry for providing presentations on consumer benefits and inspections rather than addressing the economic impact on small enterprises. They emphasize that transparency in business operations and the quality of regulations are separate issues. The UGP demands that the ministry provide a detailed calculation of the costs and alternatives to the proposed measures, arguing that current regulatory actions lack clear analysis of expenses, effects, and alternatives. They urge the government to seriously address all sources of inflation, including energy costs, labor expenses, domestic demand, and fiscal policy.

UGP: Inflation is not stopped by new bureaucracy

The Croatian business association 'Udruga Glas poduzetnika' (UGP) has criticized the Ministry of Economy for introducing new bureaucratic requirements related to price transparency, arguing that these measures add unnecessary costs for small businesses and micro-enterprises. The UGP demands detailed cost calculations and impact analyses from the government before implementing such regulations, claiming that the current approach lacks clarity and fairness. They argue that the new rules, which require adjustments to pricing lists, websites, and computer systems, disproportionately burden legitimate businesses while failing to address the root causes of inflation. The UGP insists that those who operate lawfully and transparently should not bear the financial burden of regulatory changes and calls for the government to provide a comprehensive analysis of all inflation drivers.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the issue as a critique of government regulation imposing undue burdens on small businesses, emphasizing their call for transparency and cost analysis from authorities. This aligns with a left-leaning perspective that prioritizes protecting small enterprises from excessive state-m
