Positive developments on the Eurocodes implementation in North Macedonia

The Institute for Standardization of the Republic of North Macedonia (ISRSM) sent officially to the Ministry of Transport and Communications the set of translated Eurocodes and their National Annexes in February 2020. This action was accompanied by ISRSM’s draft decision for the adoption of the Eurocodes as national codes for the design of construction works and a three-year coexistence period with the current national regulations in North Macedonia.

This positive development for the Eurocodes implementation in North Macedonia supported the top geopolitical priority of the European Commission for bringing the Western Balkans closer to the EU (‘A Stronger Europe in the World - Western Balkans’ European Future’) and well-timed with the 'green light' for opening the EU accession negotiations with North Macedonia, given on 25 March 2020 by the General Affairs Council of the EU.
