BRUSSELS, Feb 13 (Hina) - Croatia will have to replace some of the
old technical standards dating from the former Yugoslavia as part of
preparations for full membership of the European Union concerning the chapter
on free movement of goods, Croatian negotiator Tamara Obradovic Mazal said in
Brussels on Monday. The EU acquis communautaire does not provide for
the imposition of quantitative restrictions or quotas and so-called "measures
with equal effect", some sort of covert restrictions on free flow of goods on
the single EU market, she said.
Obradovic Mazal said that Croatia had adopted about 12,000 European
standards to date.
The screening for the chapter on free movement of goods is due to
finish on Friday, after which the European Commission will prepare a report and
send it to the EU Council.
