In the framework of the project "European Affairs Training for Public Administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina" an expert from Slovenian Veterinary Administration will travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina for a three-day visit. The purpose of his cooperation with the Bosnian authorities is to review and coordinate their phyto-sanitary legislation with European legislation. Bosnian entities have already prepared regulations, which are not always in line with European standards. The aim of this working visit is to unify the regulations in order to facilitate and also increase export from Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European Union, especially after July 1st 2013, when Croatia is expected to join the EU.

This project of technical assistance has been initiated by the Directorate for European Integration of BiH and by the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina since they have estimated that the knowledge on European Union, its institutions, laws, processes and policies in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not sufficient. Centre for European perspective has for this reason, in close cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Sarajevo and the European Union Delegation in Sarajevo, prepared a training that will be implemented in several modules.

Delovni obisk v BiH

V okviru projekta CEP 'Usposabljanje državne uprave Bosne in Hercegovine za evropske zadeve' bo strokovnjak z Veterinarske uprave Republike Slovenije odšel na tridnevni obisk v BiH. Namen obiska je s predstavniki BiH pregledati in uskladiti njihovo fitosanitarno zakonodajo z zakonodajo EU. Entitete v BiH so že pripravile zakonodajo, ki pa ni povsem v skladu s standardi EU. Namen tega delovnega obiska je poenotiti zakonodajo in sicer z namenom olajšanja in povečanja izvoza iz BiH v EU, še zlasti po 1. juliju 2013, ko naj bi Hrvaška vstopila v EU.

Omenjeni projekt tehnične pomoči se je začel na pobudo Direktorata za evropsko integracijo BiH in Sveta ministrov BiH in sicer na podlagi ocene, da poznavanje in vedenje o EU, njenih institucijah, zakonodaji, procesih in politikah v BiH ni zadovoljivo. CEP je v ta namen v tesnem sodelovanju z Veleposlaništvom RS v Sarajevu in Delegacijo Evropske komisije v Sarajevu pripravil usposabljanje, ki bo izvedeno v več modulih.

Projekt je del programskih aktivnosti CEP, ki jih financira Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve iz sredstev za mednarodno razvojno sodelovanje.
