Adoption and Implementation of the acquis communautaire

The adoption and transposition of the EU acquis communautaire into national legislation of the Republic of Croatia is based on the document of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, "Programme of the Government of the Republic of Croatia for the adoption and implementation of the EU acquis communautaire", which is prepared each year and contains the plan of legislative activities by which the EU acquis communautaire is adopted and implemented in the Republic of Croatia (draft legal and sub-legal acts of the Republic of Croatia, deadlines for the submission for the procedure of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, and names of the EU acts that are to be implemented and transposed into the national legislation of the Republic of Croatia).
 
In case of failure to timely transpose the EU acquis communautaire into national legislation, or incorrect implementation, the European Commission has the right to launch a formal infringement procedure due to the violation of EU law, which may result in referring the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
