All commitments from the Interim Trade Agreement with the EU are being implemented according to plan, says the Government EU Integration Office. The exception are commitments regarding liberalization of transit transport through Serbia for operators from the EU, which will also be implemented once Brussels begins applying the agreement, states a report on Serbia’s progress in the EU integration process compiled by the office, and adopted by the government. "Serbia meeting EU commitments as planned" Goods worth a total of EUR 550.6mn were imported from the EU in February, the first month of the agreement’s application. According to figures from the Finance Ministry, customs revenue in February came to EUR 7.95mn, EUR 3.83mn less than would have been the case without the agreement. On April 7, the European Commission (EC) informed EU exporters that Serbia had begun implementation of the agreement, thus highlighting both the potential for more economical product placement in Serbia, and also on the need for goods entering the Serbian market to carry certification of their origin in the EU. The Laws on Competition Protection and Control of State Assistance, on whose adoption the government conditioned the start of the Interim Agreement’s application, were duly adopted in parliamentary procedure. The enactment of other European laws, stemming from the country’s EU integration, are tracked through regular reporting on the National Integration Program, the EU Integration Office states. With regards to visa liberalization, EU experts are currently compiling a report to be used by the EC when drafting its own appraisal of the country’s progress in meeting the set criteria, on the basis of which the EU Council of Ministers will decide whether to propose abolishment of the visa regime.
