NOTIFICATION OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS UNDER
ARTICLES 18.5 AND 32.6 OF THE AGREEMENTS
Questions Posed by the UNITED STATES
Regarding the Notification of CROATIA1
The following communication, dated 4 October 2001, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of the United States
_______________
Croatia’s Notification of Laws and Regulations states that the Agreement on Implementation
of Article VI of the GATT 1994 and the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures were
“partially incorporated in the national Law on Trade.” (emphasis added).  There are numerous
provisions of the AD and SCM Agreements which do not appear to be reflected in the Law on Trade.
However, Croatia’s Notification of Laws and Regulations also states that the Croatian Government
will “issue a regulation laying down detailed rules and determining other technical issues related tothe application of anti-dumping measures, based on the Law on Trade and in conformity with the
Article VI of the GATT 1994 and the Agreement on the Implementation of Article VI.”
1. Are the AD and SCM Agreements self-implementing under Croatian law?  If so, are the
detailed requirements of these Agreements now enforceable under Croatian law?  If not, will the
Croatian Government address these detailed requirements in its forthcoming regulations?
2. Please identify any provisions of the AD and SCM Agreements which the Croatian
Government has chosen not to implement and indicate whether the Croatian Government will
incorporate such provisions into the Law on Trade at a later date.
3. When does Croatia foresee publishing its regulation laying down detailed rules and
determining other technical issues, as discussed in this notification and the Report of the WorkingParty on Croatia’s accession to the WTO (document WT/ACC/HRV/59)?
