In that way BiH has big trade deficit, and protection of lives and health of BiH citizens and removal of barriers for export is at very low level. New Approach to harmonization of technical regulations in the EU and based on that to show the need for defining an adequate model for fast and complete Europeanization of technical regulations in BiH by transposing the EU New Approach Directives.
