BRUSSELS deemed Croatia ready to become the 28th European Union member in July in a final report issued yesterday stating that it complied with EU rules, though more work was needed to fight crime and corruption.
The report from the EU executive said Croatia had completed a string of EU-requested reforms in 10 areas ranging from restructuring its shipbuilding industry to recruiting more border police.
"The (European) Commission concludes that Croatia will be ready to join the European Union on July 1, 2013," the report said. It "has shown the will and ability to fulfill all outstanding commitments in good time before accession".
Aspiring EU entrants need to upgrade legislation in line with the 27-nation bloc's values, rules and regulations during the accession process.
Brussels' 15-page final report gave Croatia good marks for privatizing and restructuring its shipyards as well as for meeting EU targets in anti-trust and merger measures and judicial reforms.
