The Iustitia et pax commission of the Croatian Bishops' Conference (HBK) issued a statement on Tuesday describing as unacceptable recent amendments to the Trade Act and claiming the amended legislation was "undoubtedly against workers".
Last Friday the parliament adopted amendments to the Trade Act abolishing, in line with a Constitutional Court decision, regulations restricting shop opening hours. The amended law treats equally again all holidays which are national holidays and enables employers to decide on shop opening hours on their own, taking into account customers' needs and employees' rights.
