Sažetak
Croatia is a small European county, but in the same time a great country according to it's tradition in the forestry and wood working industry. However, around 48% of it's territory is afforested. As the export is one of the main directions in the Croatian development conception, the production and distribution of wood package intended for the international trade, is one of the most important factors. By adoption of the rules of the phytosanitary requirements to be met by wood packaging material in international transport (NN 14/06), Republic of Croatia also incorporate rated standard ISPM 15 into their legislation. During last six-years of activities, phytosanitary system was established, and 84 companies are authorized to independently conduct heat treatment (HT) and to mark wooden packaging materials. Companies are well distributed throughout Croatia, which allows the Croatian economy un impeded international trade of goods. During phytosanitary inspection, in the 67 authorized companies it has been found that those companies properly carry out the heat treatment (HT), while the main problems arise in the development of the Manual of authorized companies, traceable records, maintaining and certifying measuring equipment and marking of wooden packaging materials in international commerce. Observed deficiencies are mainly internal in character and have not caused adverse effects in international traffic, particularly in regard to the effects of internal pests (insects) HT sterilization.
