Belgrade,
14 June 2006
State Secretary in the Serbian Ministry of Economy Zora Simovic attended today the presentation of a project of the European Union and the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR) called "Strengthening quality management, skills and infrastructure in Serbia and Montenegro."
Speaking at the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Simovic said that this project should secure the transfer and implementation of technical regulations and appropriate EU standards, as well as contribute to establishment of institutions of quality infrastructure and their inclusion in European organisations.
She recalled that the project, which is being financed by EAR, is implemented by the Danish technological institute and domestic experts and added that this project supports the process of harmonisation of Serbia's regulation with that of the EU in the field of free circulation of goods.
According to Simovic, the project envelops the training of experts, investments in equipment for infrastructure quality institutions, as well as the composition of a glossary to explain the terms used in the EU and is intended to help everyone doing business in the EU market or dealing with EU technical legislature.
Simovic stressed that the advice of European experts regarding infrastructure quality will help Serbia to specify the number of bodies and institutions that should issue certificates and protect the domestic market from disloyal competition and products that do not fulfill the quality criteria.
"Serbia's technical regulations are yet to be adjusted because ever since the Law on standardisation was passed in 1996, activities on this matter have been minimal", said Simovic and added that government organs, economy and expert institutions will be faced with a huge amount of work since they will have to harmonise Serbian regulations with around 90,000 European ones.
