On November 9, the European Commission (EC) released its progress report on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s (BiH) pre-accession efforts, noting that preparations in the areas of agriculture and fisheries are at an early stage. The EC concluded that in the coming year, BiH should in particular focus on developing its rural development policy, improving the veterinary and phytosanitary control systems, and upgrading its inspection services and laboratories. The report noted that BiH has made some progress in the veterinary and food safety areas and obtained approval for export of dairy productsto the EU market in September 2015, but there is much work that remains to be done. Furthermore, BiH lacks a national agricultural information strategy and should improve its agricultural statistics. Also, BiH has yet to create a legal framework for the agricultural census, and the land registration systems need to be harmonized country-wide.
