The aim is to present, in summary form, the latest information on how control systems for food and feed safety, animal health, animal welfare and plant health are organised in Bulgaria. Chapter 1 describes the overall organisation of the Bulgarian authorities and the respective responsibilities of the Ministries and Government agencies in relation to the different components of the control system. A chart is used to help the reader better understand the inter- relationships between the responsibilities of the different bodies. Chapter 2 gives a more detailed description of the main responsibilities for each of the eleven separate systems that form the complete range of control systems in Bulgaria, covering the whole chain of plant, animal and food production. As in Chapter 1, organisation charts are used to help the reader. Annex I provides details on the number of control staff in Bulgaria. The statistics on staff resources have been provided by the Member States on a non-standardised basis. The overview was updated following the most recent general follow-up audit in November 2014 and will be updated at regular intervals based on relevant information received by the Commission from the Bulgarian authorities. Acronyms are used extensively throughout this overview for the sake of brevity. A list of acronyms, abbreviations and special terms is given in Annex II as a guide for the reader. DG(SANCO)/2014-7004 Final Version March 2015 SUMMARY A particular strategy was followed during this specific General Follow-up Audit (GFA). The strategy started by an intensive round of consultation at FVO level in order to determine SANCO priority areas in Bulgaria. The Minister of Agriculture and Food and the Minister of Health perform state policy in the field of food safety. Within the Ministry of Agriculture and Food (MAF), the Animal Health and Food Safety Directorate (AHFSD) is responsible for the development and co-ordination of the implementation of MAF policy in the field of food safety and quality, feed safety, animal health and welfare. The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency (BFSA) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food is the competent authority performing official control of food safety and food quality, feed, plant protection products and fertilizers, animal by-products, animal health and welfare, and plant health. The Ministry of Health (MH) is also responsible in developing food safety policy in the field of food of non-animal origin. PHD has as well the role of co-ordination and supervision of official controls on bottled natural mineral, spring and table waters, performed by the 28 Regional Health Inspectorates (RHI). Bulgaria is divided into 28 regions. The regions are administrative units executing the regional policy of central government bodies. The regional governors are appointed by the Council of Ministers. Local government is organised through 264 municipalities. At regional level BFSA has 28 Regional Food Safety Directorates (RFSD) responsible for the implementation of the official controls. The new MANCP covering period 2012-2014 is published on the website of the Ministry of agriculture and food: http://www.mzh.government.bg/MZH/bg/ShortLinks/ZJBH/zakon.aspx The 2014 annual report on the implementation of the MANCP was provided to the Commission in August 2015 and is published on the Ministry of Agriculture and Food website. 4 DG(SANCO)/2014-7004 Final Version March 2015 1 ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION (EC) N° 882/2004 Designation of competent authorities The Minister of Agriculture and Food and the Minister of Health perform state policy in the field of food safety.

  • Organized Crime in Bulgaria: Markets and Trends
    ORGANIZED CRIME IN BULGARIA: MARKETS AND TRENDS ���������� ������������ ��������� The present report builds upon various studies published by the Center for the Study of Democracy throughout the last decade which have focused on specific aspects of organized crime in Bulgaria (contraband, the drug market, tax fraud, human trafficking, arms proliferation, etc.), the systemic spread of corruption, and the linkages between the two. The report presents the latest trends and manifestations (or “market niches”) of syndicate crime and its particularly damaging effects. It goes further to offer a historical review of the facts and available expertise in the area, and to draw conclusions about the origin, characteristics and developmental features of organized criminality in Bulgaria in the context of the transition to democracy. This report attempts to present an authentic picture of organized crime in Bulgaria, by identifying its constitu- ent features and major trends. The research team has used information from all available sources, analyzing it through several, complementary methods. Collecting empirical data about clandestine and hidden markets is a hard task, which can sometimes put the researchers at risk. However, it cannot be dispensed with, particularly as the so called objective data (police and judicial crime statistics) provided by public bodies is often incomplete and sometimes manipulated. This paper also furthers expertise exchange through a public-private partnership. This publication has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union. Its contents are the sole responsibility of the Center for the Study of Deocracy and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the European Union.

Bulgaria in figures® – 11th edition Dear business partners, For more than a decade the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) has been publishing the brochure “Bulgaria in Figures” which reports on Bulgaria’s position in international rankings and presents the main economic indicators of our economy. At the end of last year, the Bulgarian business had traditionally positive expectations for 2020, but the pandemic outbreak requires readjustment of expectations and Bulgarian entrepreneurs must quickly adapt to the new conditions. In the shortest terms BCCI gathered information from its partners around the world and proposed a series of measures. A significant part of them were adopted by the Bulgarian government, which acted adequately not only to limit the spread of the virus, but also took measures to help surmount the difficulties incurred by businesses and citizens. We will be adding new measures on a regular basis and expect further steps to be taken to overcome the negative effects on the national economy and human capital. The huge challenge of the pandemic has necessitated a rapid change in the attitude and the pace of digitalization in all spheres of life: both of the administration – for example, the education system, and of the business community, which has long been encouraged by BCCI in this regard, but now, in order to survive, has to focus its efforts on digitalization and change in the business models.

Results that are part of a larger study of speech of bilinguals from the town of Bregovo (Vidin area) are presented. The results outline that there is no interference in this area of phonetics from the Bulgarian language where in the absolute end of the word this opposition is neutralized. In this special feature the phonetics of the Wallachian dialect is closer to the Romance languages.
