RE: Art 29 of NFR-penalties
Dear
I would like to inform You that penalties for the infrigement of the provisions of Regulation (EU)
2015/2283 in Croatia are prescribed in Article 11 of the Act on the iImplementation of Regulation (EU)
2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on novel food. This Act
was addopted by Croatian parliament on 2. February 2018 but still it is not published in Official Gazette
of the Republic of Croatia. For now I am sending provisions of Article 11 of the Act and as soon as it is
going to be published in the Official Gazette I will send you a link.
