Fierce Competition

The process of globalization had a large impact on the market of agricultural and food products by making it saturated with new products that compete with each other in price and quality. In such global circumstances, the indigenous products cannot cope with the fierce competition, and the buyers cannot be sure of the quality of what they are buying, resulting in the need to protect indigenous products. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of creating a label and its protection as an intellectual property. The paper identifies and displays the marks of authenticity and quality in the Republic of Croatia and on the territory of the European Union, and it provides Croatian examples of origin protection. For the purpose of this work and in relation to the recognition of quality and authenticity in everyday use a survey was conducted among sixty-eight respondents who chose to make their purchases within a retail chains, thirty one respondents who chose a family farm based market, and twenty-two which chose small family farms. Research has shown that there are differences between individual age groups and their preferences when purchasing at retail chains or from family farm based markets. In addition, customers focus on the quality and price when purchasing products, but they inadequately recognize the quality of products by observing markings of origin and of quality.

The subject of this research is cattle breeding with a focus on the production of cow's milk in the Republic of Serbia. The main goal is to analyze the state and trends of cow's milk production in Serbia during the last ten years in relation to production in Europe, the European Union and the world. Data from the SORS, FAO databases, etc. were used. In Serbia, 908,102 head of cattle are raised on 177,552 family farms, ie, an average of 5.11 head of cattle per farm. The number of cattle has dropped by more than 200,000 head over the last decade. In the total milk production in Serbia, cow's milk accounts for 96.84%. The average milk yield of cows in Serbia is far below the European average. The highest average amount of milk is recorded in the Belgrade region, where 5,335 liters per milking head are produced in one year. The quality of cow's milk in Serbia is far below EU standards, which is a key restriction on exports.

This paper deals with the topic of a modern electronic toll collection system that will be applied in the Republic of Croatia from the year 2022 onwards. The paper primarily analyses the existing toll collection systems in Croatia, as well as in the European Union. Modern electronic toll collection systems were analysed with an emphasis on the ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system, because ANPR technology will be used in Croatia after the restructuring of road traffic occurs. ANPR is not a new technology, however in the last twenty years it has found its wider application. This happened mostly thanks to local and global infrastructural development and technological improvements therefore in turn infrastructure required for the operation of this system became cheaper. By applying the ETC and ANPR, Croatia will have a system in line with European directives and practices which are being applied in other European countries. The system will in turn significantly raise the quality of road traffic in Croatia and reduce its costs.

The article deals with the issue of state regulation over the construction products industry. Analysis resulted in the identification of two main forms of regulation: tariff and non-tariff regulation. Global practices show the effectiveness of non-tariff regulation in the construction industry. Being a WTO member, Ukraine has to implement the legal framework of non-tariff regulation, in regards to those aspects contributing to compliance with the rating and standards of the European Union to ensure the quality of products. The main objective of non-tariff market regulation is to ensure the quality of finished products, environmental protection, health and safety of life. The national system of regulation, including technical rate-setting of the construction products manufacturing must comply with the international documents ratified by Ukraine. The article analyzes the domestic legal framework and proposes an algorithm for designing a national system of non-tariff regulation in accordance with international rules and standards.

Polymeric Waste

In the European Union, the potential for recycling technological and post-consumer polymeric waste is untapped. Their recycling and reuse are very low, compared to other types of waste such as glass, paper, etc., and the rates of storage, even of incineration, is very high in terms of percentage. Therefore, by reusing them, but also making use of new advanced technologies, we can contribute to improving the quality of products, and to environmental protection by recycling waste, protecting human health by eliminating toxins during their incineration, but also increasing turnover for global economic agents. Thus, this paper presents the obtaining and characterization of an antibacterial compound based on EPDM elastomer and wood waste (sawdust). The antibacterial compound is characterized from a physical-mechanical and structural point of view (FT-IR), all according to standards in force.

The phenomenon of the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the whole globe, the consequences of which are long lasting and difficult to estimate. The Republic of Moldova, being a developing country, could not overcome these serious consequences, caused by the reduction of public health, the reduction of the work capacity of the population, the deplorable condition of the medical system, caused by small investments in health, etc. Human society has been put to hard tests of survival of patients with this virus, the incidence rate of diseases was about 11%. Thanks to the financial aid of the European Union, Romania and other countries, the Republic of Moldova managed to cope with things in the fight against Covid. This article presents the results of the research of the authors, participants of the national project "Assessment of health of post – COVID - 19 patients in the Republic of Moldova", which aimed to develop the Electronic Register of patients with Covid - 19 (March 2020 - June 2021), which will allow monitoring the process of treatment and recovery of the consequences of this disease, by assessing the state of health and quality of life both at admission and at discharge of the respective patients. Based on the concept of quality of life as a socio-economic category and its interconnections with health, the authors proposed the system of medical indicators to assess the health and quality of life of patients affected by covid. In the authors' opinion, a special role in the treatment and treatment of comorbidities belongs to comorbidities, so the authors selected them as separate study subjects to prove their negative impact on the form of the disease and the state of health and quality of life at discharge of patients.

Milk And Dairy Products

Because of the increasing trend in globalization in dairy farming resulting in joining and taking over some companies with the aim of rationalization of production and realizing greater market participation, it seems quite real to expect such a trend to appear in our country as well. After the process of privatization had been realized a significant part of Montenegrin economy fell into the hands of private owners. In such conditions it can be expected that efficiency and competitiveness of some producers of milk and dairy products in the Republic of Montenegro will be increased, since in previous period this industry was characterized by insufficient exploitation of already existing capacities for milk processing while the quality of milk was considerably under the standards prescribed by the European Union. Depending on the dynamics of entering Montenegro into international economy the national dairy industry must be ready to face the challenge which will certainly be imposed on it. The object of this paper was to try to find the answers to the two questions. First where we are now and where we will be in the next five years in order to improve the competitive potential of domestic dairy farming.

AbstractImportant achievements such as the discovery of penicillin increased life expectancy in the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the influence of technical equipment and biomedical research led to a further leap in life expectancy. The use of computer devices with sophisticated software also improved the quality of life. This is linked to the fact that all these achievements have now led to the emergence of one of the largest import and export markets in the USA, alongside the european union (EU), which is an association of European states. In order to guarantee a uniform quality of this abundance of different products and therapies, there are worldwide corresponding regulations, to which all manufacturers must adhere. The entry into force of these regulations, with the associated approval and testing obligations for each individual medical device, ensures that a consistently high quality of products is used on patients. Of course, high quality as well as high functionality and safety levels of medical products are a must. However, the implementation of these regulations is realized differently in the various markets, as there is no global harmonization. This work focuses on approval procedures for medical devices in Europe (EU) and the USA and compares significant differences in the approval procedures, which are shown as a graphical comparison. An example is an approval of medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is an US government agency. In Europe (EU) there is a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity for the approval.
