The draft strategy expresses a Statement of purpose; Vision; Guiding principles; and... implementation; and outlines nine major programmes of activity: (1) Policy, legislation and institutional framework; (2) Risk analysis and quarantine; (3) Diagnostics and health certification; (4) Surveillance, monitoring and reporting; (5) Emergency preparedness; (6) Capacity building; (7) Research and development; (8) Communication and international collaboration; and (9) Reso urces and funding.

    This document, Veterinary inspector’s checklist for aquaculture farms and fish processing establishments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, developed as one of the outputs of FAO Technical Cooperation Project TCP/BIH/3101 “Strengthening Aquaculture Health Management in Bosnia and Herzegovina”, presents a checklist of information that will provide guidance to veterinary inspectors of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) in conducting veterinary inspection of aquaculture farms and fish processing esta blishments in the country. The Veterinary inspector’s checklist may be applied to several types of aquaculture farms and fish processing establishments, i.e. fish hatcheries, cage-culture facilities, concrete ponds, earthen ponds, fish transporting systems and fish processing facilities. The checklist includes information on aspects of inspections, parameters to be analysed/tested or activities to be performed, samples to be collected and frequency of inspection. The legal reference to which the inspection procedure needs to be carried out is also indicated. These legal decisions ensure that appropriate sanitary practices (for fish, water, feed, facilities, etc.) and monitoring of veterinary health of fish and safety and quality of fishery products are in place. This veterinary checklist will assist in the implementation of the National Aquatic Animal Health Strategy (NAAHS) for BIH and help to protect and improve the country’s national aquatic animal health sta tus, enhance the nation’s ability to meet international aquatic animal health and food safety standards and obligations, promote sustainable aquaculture and facilitate access to international markets for aquaculture and fishery products.
