New EU funded project in Serbia - Policy and Legal Advice Centre
The Policy and Legal Advice Centre (PLAC) is a 24-month project funded by the European Commission, and managed by the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR). It is implemented by an international consortium selected by the EAR and the Projects' beneficiaries. Led by German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) International Services, the Consortium further includes leading national and EU public policy, legal and economic consultancy and advisory firms and organisations IRZ (Deutsche Stiftung fur International Rechtliche Zusammenarbeit), Eurecna Spa, Italy and Centre for Liberal – Democratic Studies, Belgrade.
New PLAC project is a continuation of the previous project bearing the same name which operated in the period February 2005 - April 2007, and SCEPP (Savetodavni centar za ekonomska i pravna pitanja) which operated from October 2001 to December 2004. New PLAC project will address solely the issues of legal harmonization but will keep alive the legacy of its predecessor inasmuch as the relevance of policy studies carried out by the previous PLAC and SCEPP is not compromised by the challenges of an ever moving legal and economic context.
PLAC project was set up in June 2007 to provide high-level policy and legal advice, in a consistent and accessible form, to the Government of the Republic of Serbia on key strategic issues concerning the EU's Stabilisation and Association Process, legal aspects of market economy in Serbia, and its future accession to the European Union. Accordingly, intended to benefit from the legal advice provided by the PLAC project is a wide range of Ministries and government offices, but the National Assembly and Constitutional Court of Serbia as well.
The Project deploys EU and national resources according to the objectively required expertise in the fields of EU legal harmonization. Operationally the project is made up of a team combining EU and national expertise. Internal cooperation and synergies ensure that legal experts can be mobilized wherever issues are considered from the complementary facets of law (like SAA, state aid, public procurement, technical rules and standards, financial services, etc). The Project is managed by a Project Team Leader and the Consortium leader GTZ Head Office, in close cooperation with the European Agency for Reconstruction, Belgrade.
The Project's main partner is Serbian European Integration Office (SEIO), including the relevant line ministries of the Serbian Government. Steering Committee representing SEIO, the EAR, and the Delegation of the European Commission in Belgrade is the decision-making and governing body of the Project. This Committee determines the specific fields in which the Project provides policy and legal advice, approves work programmes and monitors the progress of the Project.
