Membership in the European Union implies adjustment of EU projects to the rules of Structural Funds, but also adoption of legal regulations, thus influencing the process of implementation of the public procurement in EU funded projects. Each successful applicant who expressed the need for procurement of goods, services and works of a certain value, must respect the principles of public procurement. Irregularities in the procurement process can lead to the failure of returning the EU funds even several years after the end of the project. Therefore, the knowledge and proper implementation of public procurement is the main precondition for the correct implementation of each project. In order to obtain information about the current absorption capacity of the public procurement liable parties, and to identify key obstacles that stakeholders face in procurement procedures, the research was conducted by surveying 30 entities that are subject of public procurement in Croatia. Research results imply the poor quality of public procurement in the implemented projects, which often results in financial corrections, disapproving project reports, etc.

欧盟资助项目中公共采购的挑战

成为欧盟成员意味着要根据结构基金的规则对欧盟项目进行调整，还需要通过法律法规，从而影响了欧盟资助项目中公共采购的实施过程。每个表示需要采购一定价值的商品，服务和作品的成功申请者，都必须遵守公共采购原则。采购过程中的不规范可能导致即使在项目结束后数年也无法归还欧盟资金。因此，了解和正确执行公共采购是正确执行每个项目的主要前提。为了获得有关公共采购责任方当前吸收能力的信息，为了确定利益相关者在采购程序中面临的主要障碍，该研究是通过对克罗地亚30个受公共采购约束的实体进行调查而进行的。研究结果表明，已实施项目中的公共采购质量较差，这通常会导致财务更正，项目报告被拒登等。
