Summary/Abstract: The adoption of the Law on Export and Import of Arms and Military Equipment and Control of Export and Import of Dual-Use Products (“Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina” no. 05/03, 09/03, 14/05, 33/03, 14/05, 56/05 and 75/05) and its implementation established unified state principles related to the issuance of permits for import, export, brokering and transit of arms and military equipment. The process of harmonization of regulations in this area with the EU legislation has been completed, together with the promulgation of an updated “Common List of Military Equipment covered by EU Code of Conduct on Arms Export” (“Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina” no. 75/05), “Law on Implementation of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction” (“Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina” no. 15/06) and the “List of Dual-Use Products and Technologies”, whereby a control system over dual-use goods is established and their misuse in illicit military and terrorist purposes prevented, in compliance with EU Regulation 1334/2000 and 149/2003 (“Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina” no. 75/05). Therefore, we have completely harmonized our export/import control for all goods with international standards, particularly with those of the EU, and we have made a major breakthrough in terms of arms export control at the state level.
