Article 2 The prior export authorization shall be issued under the condition that an import licence has been issued by the competent authorities of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina.  It must be guaranteed that these authorities will confirm the arrival of the goods covered by the prior export authorization.' Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.Done at Brussels, 8 January 1993.  The President U.
