The Foreign Trade Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina (VTK B&H) and the Regional Centre for Gender Equality (GTF) organized today in Sarajevo a seminar for female entrepreneurs on "Croatian Accession to the European Union - Challenges and opportunities for the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina."
The seminar is held within the project "Women's entrepreneurship - the engine for job creation in South East Europe", which is funded by the Swedish Government.
According to economic analyst in VTK B&H Duljko Hasic, all products which will be exported to Croatia in future must meet prescribed standards of the EU.
"With Croatian accession to the EU, a number of changes will occur in the companies' business operations in B&H, and it is necessary to make adequate preparations. VTK B&H is actively engaged in the preparation of the B&H businesses to get through this process easily,".
During the seminar, Director of Euro Info Correspondent Centre in VTK B&H Senad Hromic presented the EU directives concerning placing the CE mark on products from B&H.
"All products that are exported to the EU countries, with B&H origin, will have a label CE, while the same products in our country will have only a label C. It is worth noting that B&H producers who want to sell their products to B&H market now will have to meet nearly identical conditions as all other manufacturers that sell their products to the EU market," said Hromic.
