VII. CORRELATION TABLES
The obligation to complete correlation tables for the proposers of na-
tional legal acts for approximation with the relevant EU legal acts is
laid down in Article 76 of the Rules of Procedure of the Government
of the Republic of Macedonia (consolidated text). “Draft laws and oth-
er legal acts adopted by the Government shall be communicated to
the Government by the proposers in a form they are adopted and shall
compulsory include a Correlation Table and Statement on the Approx-
imation of the legal act with the EU law.
Content and form of the Correlation Table and the Statement on the Ap-
proximation of the legal act with the EU law shall be stipulated by the
Government. For legal acts reviewed by the Secretariat of Legislation
previously given provisions shall apply.” (Article 76) The Decision on the
Forms of the Accompanying Letter and the Memorandum, the content and
form of the Correlation Table and of the Statement on the Approximation
of the legal act with the EU legislation (OfÞcial Gazette of the Republic
of Macedonia No 92/10) of 1 September 2010 provides for application of
new forms of Correlation Tables MK-EU and EU-MK. Main objective
for introducing those new forms is to ensure higher extent and improved
monitoring of the extent of approximation of each national legal act sub-
ject to approximation with the EU measures, on the one hand, and on the
other to ease the completion of the corresponding table MK-EU, in which
for the time being is not necessary to state the content of the articles from
the national legislation and the EU measures, but instead only the number
of the article is given (paragraph, item, indent etc.).

One of the major novelties introduced by this Decision is full change
of the approach of completing the Correlation Table EU-MK, which is
now Þlled in on the level of single EU act – consolidated version, with
all its articles. As a result, the Correlation Table will also constitute
schematic view of a EU legal act quoted with all its articles (their full
content in Macedonian) given in correlation with the content of the
articles in the national legal act (laws and bylaws) in which the provi-
sions of that EU act are transposed. Accordingly, any new amendment
to national legal acts or adoption of new legal acts for the purpose of
additional approximation with the EU act constitutes drafting a new
version of the Correlation Table EU-MK. This will ensure clarity of
