Slovenia's news Agency STA cited the head of the EU Mission in Ljubljana, Erwan Fouere, as saying that Brussels had been informed about the content of the code and that it was studying the part which referred to talks between all parties involved, in line with the conclusions of last year's Venice Conference on the Sustainable Development of the Fishing Industry in the Mediterranean.
It is hard to say when will Brussels voice its opinion about it because procedures in the European Commission usually last for several months, Fouere said.
Before joining the EU, Slovenia submitted to Brussels the fishing code which regulated fisheries in the border belt, saying that after it joined the EU the code would be null and void and that the issue of fisheries would no longer be a Croatia-Slovene issue, but that Croatia needed to discuss the matter with Brussels.
