Sažetak

Načelo transparentnosti jedno je od temeljnih načela za provođenje postupaka javne nabave. Dosljednom primjenom navedenog načela osigurava se dostupnost svih potrebnih informacija o postupku javne nabave zainteresiranim gospodarskim subjektima, ali se i osigurava transparentnost postupanja naručitelja pri vođenju postupka i donošenju odluke o odabiru. Ipak, načelo transparentnosti ne smije biti apsolutno, budući da će u nekim postupcima javne nabave postojati informacije koje gospodarski subjekti s razlogom ne žele učiniti javno dostupnima. Stoga je pitanje kako uravnotežiti načelo transparentnosti s pravom na tajnost podataka postalo jedno od važnijih pitanja prava javne nabave na razini EU-a, ali i u Republici Hrvatskoj. U ovom radu prikazat ćemo, objasniti i definirati načelo transparentnosti i načelo tajnosti podataka i trenutačno zakonodavno uređenje u Republici Hrvatskoj. Također, prikazat ćemo zahtjeve prema načelu transparentnosti i načelu tajnosti podataka pred Europskim sudom za ljudska prava, ali i Sudom Europske unije. Na kraju ćemo prikazati poredbeno uređenje glavnog problema rada u pravu Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva, te dati konkretne prijedloge kako izmijeniti hrvatsko javnonabavno zakonodavstvo kako bismo osigurali ravnotežu načela transparentnosti i tajnosti podataka u postupcima javne nabave.

Summary

The principle of transparency is one of the basic principles for conducting public procurement procedures. The consistent application of the aforementioned principle ensures the availability of all necessary information about the public procurement procedure to interested economic entities, but also ensures the transparency of the actions of the contracting authority when conducting the procedure and making the selection decision. Nevertheless, the principle of transparency must not be absolute, since in some public procurement procedures there will be information that economic entities do not want to make publicly available for good reason. Therefore, the question of how to balance the principle of transparency with the principle of data confidentiality has become one of the most important issues of public procurement law at the EU level, but also in the Republic of Croatia. In this paper, we will present, explain and define the principle of transparency and the principle of data confidentiality and the current legislative arrangement in the Republic of Croatia. Also, we will present the important issues of the principle of transparency and the principle of data confidentiality before the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the Court of Justice of the European Union. Finally, we will present how this issue has been resolved in the law of the United Kingdom, and we will give concrete proposals on how to amend the Croatian public procurement legislation in order to ensure a balance between the principles of transparency and data confidentiality in public procurement procedures.
