The European Commission Implementing Decision recognising Bosnia and Herzegovina as free from potato ring rot was published on 22 July 2015 in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Commission Decision is available at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2015.194.01.0042.01.ENG

The process of allowing BiH to export potatoes to the EU has therefore been completed and producers from the country may now export their goods.

The European Union welcomes this achievement of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is expected to contribute to the increase of the country’s export potential as well as competitiveness and growth of the sector – with country-wide benefits and positive effects.
