The need to organize the 5th Round Table, which was organized as a thematic meeting, appeared after the 4
th Round Table, and the meeting with representatives of the HGK, the Rijeka Port Authority, the Port of Rijeka, the Association for Intermodal Transport and Logistics at the HGK and the Jadranska Vrata d.d. in June 2016. The meeting also included the presentation of conclusions reached at a meeting organized by the HGK in Zagreb in May 2016. Both meetings came essentially to the same conclusions and referred to problems resulting from different working hours of institutions which are of key importance for the process of organization and execution of transport, such as the customs, and phytosanitary, veterinary and sanitary inspections. HAKOM therefore initiated the process of resolution of the above-mentioned problem of different working hours by organizing meetings with the competent ministries, including the Ministry of Agriculture, which is competent for phytosanitary and veterinary inspection and the Ministry of Health, competent for sanitary inspection. The participants of the 5
th Round Table first presented their opinions and views of the above-mentioned issues, which was followed by a discussion and the adoption of conclusions.
