APPROACHES TO HARMONIZATION OF LEGISLATION IN THE FUNCTIONING OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN THE FIELD OF WINE PRODUCTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTHERN MACEDONIA

Nikola Bujukliev

Abstract


Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the "backbone" and the main engine for increasing the rate of economic growth, for the development of high-tech industries and products with high added value, for increasing the competitiveness of the economy. In the wine sector in the Republic of Northern Macedonia, about 99% of all enterprises are small and medium. The country is a candidate for EU membership and as such needs to synchronize its legislation and work according to European standards. In this respect, the study of the legal framework for the functioning of SMEs, especially in the wine sector, which is the second largest after tobacco production in the field of agriculture, is very relevant. The object of study are the criteria for differentiating SMEs, as well as the approaches used. On this basis, a number of proposals are made to harmonize the legal framework for the functioning of SMEs in the wine sector in the Republic of Northern Macedonia.

Keywords
