The text defines that the law will enter into force on the eighth day after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina passed the Law on Internal Trade, which, among other things, prescribes a non-working day on Sundays for trade workers.
Namely, the proposal of this law was accepted by the House of Peoples of the Federal Parliament at today’s session with 55 votes (one delegate was against it, three abstained), as it was accepted by the majority of votes at the session last week by the House of Representatives.
The text defines that the law will enter into force on the eighth day after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Last week, in the House of Representatives, subsequently compared to the tentatively proposed text from the Federal Government, an amendment was introduced that municipal or city councils can, through the Federal Ministry of Trade, request an exemption from the application of the non-working Sunday provision in their areas if there is a justified reason for doing so. The FBiH Government will exclusively decide on possible requests of this type, it was specified.
Today, not a single amendment or proposal to change the provisions of the law was submitted in the House of Peoples, although during the discussion, apart from the delegates who declaratively announced that they would support it, there were also those who expressed doubts whether it would really bring true benefits to workers and trade in general. .
Although the Law on Internal Trade regulates several other issues, the public’s attention has long been absolutely focused on the provision of a non-working day on Sundays for trade workers, so much so that it has acquired the generally accepted, albeit unofficial, name of the ‘Working Sunday Law’.
Today’s session of the House of Peoples continued with the following agenda items.
