D2.2 | 28/01/11 PRIMA aims to develop a method for scaling down the analysis of policy impacts on multifunctional land uses and on the economic activities. The scoped policies will include the cohesion policy (ERDF, ESF, CF), the enlargement process (IPA) & the rural development policy (EAFRD) of the European Commission, with a special focus on agriculture, forestry, tourism, and ecosystem services. The approach will: rely on micro-simulation and multi-agents models, designed and validated at municipality level, using input from stakeholders; address the structural evolution of the populations (appearance, disappearance and change of agents) depending on the local conditions for applying the structural policies on a set of municipality case studies. Involving eleven partners, the project is coordinated by Cemagref.

    Annex REPORT FOR 2019 UNDER THE “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA 2012 - 2020 Operational objective: A national monitoring progress report has been prepared for implementation of Measure 1.1.2. “Performing obstetric and gynaecological examinations with mobile offices in settlements with compact Roma population”. During the period 01.07—20.11.2019, a total of 2,261 prophylactic medical examinations were carried out with the four mobile gynaecological offices to uninsured persons of Roma origin and to persons with difficult access to medical facilities, as 951 women were diagnosed with diseases. The implementation of the activity for each Regional Health Inspectorate is in accordance with an order of the Minister of Health to carry out not less than 500 examinations with each mobile gynaecological office. Financial resources of BGN 12,500 were allocated for each mobile unit, totalling BGN 50,000 for the four units. During the reporting period, the mobile gynecological offices were divided into four areas: Varna (the city of Varna, the village of Kamenar, the town of Ignatievo, the village of Staro Oryahovo, the village of Sindel, the village of Dubravino, the town of Provadia, the town of Devnya, the town of Suvorovo, the village of Chernevo, the town of Valchi Dol); Silistra (Tutrakan Municipality– the town of Tutrakan, the village of Tsar Samuel, the village of Nova Cherna, the village of Staro Selo, the village of Belitsa, the village of Preslavtsi, the village of Tarnovtsi,

    PALAIS DES NATIONS • 1211 GENEVA 10, SWITZERLAND Mandate of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context REFERENCE: AL BGR 2/2019 28 November 2019 Excellency, I have the honour to address you in my capacity as Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 34/9. In this connection, I would like to bring to the attention of your Excellency’s Government information I have received concerning homelessness, discrimination with respect to housing, and the practice of forced evictions in Bulgaria. According to the information received: No official statistics on the number of persons living in situation of homelessness are currently being collected in Bulgaria. The Social Assistance Agency operating under the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy keeps statistics only on persons benefiting from social support programs who have an ID card or other identification documents, therefore excluding the majority of homeless persons.1 According to unofficial statistics quoted by the European Commission, there are about 500,000 homeless persons in Bulgaria, however, this figure appears to be a rough estimate.2 Despite the lack of official data, managers of crisis centers and shelters feel that the number of homeless persons increases every year and there is a general consensus among experts that homelessness is a serious issue in Bulgaria with those at highest risk being migrants and refugees, Roma, older persons and young persons coming out of foster care.

Under the pressure of economic efficiency and international agreements, Bulgaria liquidated the traditional sugar beet growing. The article presents results of an analysis of the dynamics in the sugar industry development on a global and European level, aiming to identify the problems and to predict for its future development. The study supports the main research hypotheses, namely by identifying global trends for the sugar industry’s development in conditions of strong competition and pinpoint the position of Bulgarian sugar industry in Europe economy, Bulgarian enterprises in the sector could increase their competitive potential by responding with adequate strategic tools. Practical applications These data describe important strides towards comprehensively identifying the foundational conceptual issues of sugar market development and to correct incomplete and missing aspects of the construct.The result of these efforts is an opportunity for interesting future scholarship. We can identify a number of potential new research streams that arise from a more comprehensive understanding the main problems in sugar market development.These streams will provide significant scholarly contributions to predict the sugar market development as a theoretical construct and to the business field at large.
