Technical Assistance Unit to the European Commission in Bosnia and Herzegovina

TAIEX’s main tasks are:

To provide short term technical assistance and advice on the transposition of EU legislation into the national legislation of beneficiary countries and on the subsequent administration, implementation and enforcement of such legislation.
To bring ENPI (European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument) partner countries closer to the European Union, through increased economic integration and a deepening of political cooperation by sharing the experience gained during the enlargement process.
To provide technical training and peer assistance to partners and stakeholders of the beneficiary countries.
To be an information broker by gathering and making available information.
To provide database tools for facilitating and monitoring the approximation progress as well as to identify further technical assistance needs.
Technical assistance through the TAIEX instrument comes in many different forms and across a wide range of areas. Partner administrations can benefit from TAIEX’s flexibility to help meet wider training needs in EU legislation by reaching a significant number of officials. At the same time, it is important to retain an awareness of and be responsive to more targeted requests. In this regard, the expert and study visit format, depending entirely on requests received from beneficiary partners, provides a complementary institution building service.
