Annual National Report ZOONOSES MONITORING Bulgaria TRENDS AND SOURCES OF ZOONOSES AND ZOONOTIC AGENTS IN FOODSTUFFS, ANIMALS AND FEEDINGSTUFFS including information on foodborne outbreaks, antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria and some pathogenic microbiological agents IN 2019 Bulgaria - 2019 1 Bulgaria - 2019 Report on trends and sources of zoonoses PREFACE This report is submitted to the European Commission in accordance with Article 9 of Council Directive 2003/99/ EC*. The information has also been forwarded to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The report contains information on trends and sources of zoonoses and zoonotic agents in Bulgaria during the year 2019. The information covers the occurrence of these diseases and agents in animals, foodstuffs and in some cases also in feedingstuffs. In addition the report includes data on antimicrobial resistance in some zoonotic agents and indicator bacteria as well as information on epidemiological investigations of foodborne outbreaks. Complementary data on susceptible animal populations in the country is also given. The information given covers both zoonoses that are important for the public health in the whole European Union as well as zoonoses, which are relevant on the basis of the national epidemiological situation. The report describes the monitoring systems in place and the prevention and control strategies applied in the country. For some zoonoses this monitoring is based on legal requirements laid down by the European Union legislation, while for the other zoonoses national approaches are applied. The report presents the results of the examinations carried out in the reporting year. A national evaluation of the epidemiological situation, with special reference to trends and sources of zoonotic infections, is given. Whenever possible, the relevance of findings in foodstuffs and animals to zoonoses cases in humans is evaluated. The information covered by this report is used in the annual European Union Summary Reports on zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance that are published each year by EFSA. The national report contains two parts: tables summarising data reported in the Data Collection Framework and the related text forms. The text forms were sent by email as pdf files and they are incorporated at the end of the report. * Directive 2003/ 99/ EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Decision 90/ 424/ EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/ 117/ EEC, OJ L 325, 17.11.2003, p. 31 Bulgaria -

They are based on meteorological data from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH), which is its national weather service, but also from other sources of data and information. The paper is an adapted text from the Annual hydro-meteorological bulletin of NIMH, published in March 2020. Target readers are the wider meteorological scientific community in Bulgaria and around the world. The measurements and analyses discussed here reveal that 2019 is the warmest in Bulgaria since 1930 and the annual precipitation amounts are around or below normal. Keywords: Weather, climate, national annual meteorological bulletin. 1. INTRODUCTION The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) – the national hydro- meteorological service of Bulgaria – issues a Monthly hydro-meteorological bulletin, ISSN 1314-894X. Its last edition for the previous month is available online at http:// www.meteo.bg/meteo7/sites/storm.cfd.meteo.bg.meteo7/files/Bulletin.pdf. The text is in Bulgarian. In March 2020 NIMH issued an Annual hydro-meteorological bulletin for year 2019 containing analyses and data based on the monthly bulletins for the year as well as other sources of information. It can be found online at the official web-site of NIMH http://www.meteo.bg/ but will be replaced by a new yearly 2020 issue by March 2021.

  • Ranking the World's Sulfur Dioxide (SO ) Hotspots: 2019-2020
    Ranking the World’s Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Hotspots: 2019-2020 A closer look at the colourless gas that is poisoning our air and health Writers: Sunil Dahiya, Andreas Anhäuser, Aidan Farrow, Hubert Thieriot, Avinash Chanchal, Lauri Myllyvirta Data analysis and graphs: Hubert Thieriot, Andreas Anhäuser, Lauri Myllyvirta Project coordinators: Xinyi Shen, Erin Newport, Minwoo Son, Jiyun Choi Contributors: Isabella Suarez, Meglena Antonova, Gokhan Ersoy, Jonathan Moylan, Nhlanhla Sibisi, Pablo Ramírez, Elena Sakirko, Qian Liu, Ahmed El Droubi, Bondan Andriyanu, Denis Žiško, Erika Uusivuori Edited by: Kathryn Miller Designed by: Lauren Austin Suggested citation: Dahiya, S., Anhäuser, A., Farrow, A., Thieriot, H., Kumar, A., & Myllyvirta, L. Global SO2​ ​ emission hotspot database. Delhi: Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air & Greenpeace India​. 48 pp. October 2020. Published by: Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air & Greenpeace India Ranking the World’s Sulfur Dioxide (SO2​ ​) Hotspots: 2019-2020 1 Executive summary Sulfur dioxide (SO2​ ​) is a colourless air pollutant that is invisible to the human eye, widespread and hazardous to human health. Breathing SO2​ ​increases the risk of health conditions including stroke, heart disease, asthma, lung cancer and premature death. The single biggest source of SO2​ ​is from burning fossil fuels, including coal, oil and gas. Dangerous levels of SO2​ ​ pollution are often found near coal-fired power plants, at oil refineries and in areas that are dominated by heavy industry. Report findings For this CREA/Greenpeace1 report, researchers used satellite data and a global catalogue of SO2​ ​ emissions sources from the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to detect emissions hotspots.

With Euroflections we want to provide the public with interesting reflections on the election campaigns and their main actors, namely the voters, the parties and the media. In total, more than 70 experts in political science and political communication representing almost every EU country offer insightful analyses of campaign developments and electoral outcomes. Some contributions are one-country studies, while others are written from comparative or thematic perspectives. Euroflections is intended to fill a gap in European elections reporting and research. The report is not as fast as news media analyses and social media comments published immediately when the electoral outcome is known. On the other hand, these texts are produced much faster than standard academic works. The basic idea of Euroflections is thus to combine the best of speed and smartness. Whether we achieve this difficult goal or not is finally up to our readers to find out. Euroflections is based on a concept we first developed during the Swedish National Elections 2018. We were also deeply inspired by previous productions from UK scholars from Bournemouth University who have produced similar reports on UK and US elections.
