Skopje, 6 September 2023 (MIA) – The Delegation of the European Union in the country is still assessing the proposed amendments to the Criminal Code under fast-track procedure, and is still unable to comment on the use of the EU flag in this specific case, the Delegation told MIA on Wednesday.

“The EU Delegation is assessing the proposals published Tuesday on Parliament’s website in terms of the EU standards and norms. We are still unable to comment on the use of the EU flag in this specific case, but we remind of the general rule that the use of this procedure should be limited to draft-laws which harmonize the domestic legislation with the EU standards and norms,” the Delegation told MIA.

In a fast track procedure Wednesday, Parliament’s Committee on European Affairs approved the draft amendments to the Criminal Code and forwarded them for further procedure.

The proposed amendments to the Criminal Code mainly amend articles which refer to officials, as well as articles related to the environment.
