Abstract

The infringement procedure becomes very important topic for Republic of Croatia, because we enter European Union in July this year. The aim of this paper is to draw the attention of seriousness of this procedure and to provide a complete review of the infringement procedure before the European Court of Justice. The “infringement procedure” empowers the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to conduct judicial review of Member States, or to control the compliance of the laws of the Member States with European Union (EU) law. It is the only procedure in which the European Court of Justice is authorized to directly control the validity of the law of the Member States. European Commission enjoys discretion to initiate this procedure, we hope that we would have some additional time to adapt European Union law.
