All rights reserved. Investment in Bulgaria 2015 | 13 Chapter 1 General Information Geography and climate Bulgaria is situated in South-Eastern Europe, in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. It borders Romania to the north, the Republic of Serbia to the west, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to the southwest, Greece to the south and Turkey to the southeast. The Black Sea is to the east of the country; it enables direct maritime links with the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Georgia. To the north, the Danube River separates Bulgaria from Romania. Bulgaria is strategically located along key land routes from Europe to the Middle East and Asia. Bulgaria’s total area is 110,910 sq km, with 1,808 km of land borders and 354 km of coastline. The country’s terrain is partly mountainous, with lowlands in the north and the southeast. The climate is Continental Mediterranean, it is temperate, with cold, damp winters and hot, dry summers. Population and language As per the results of the latest population census conducted by the National Statistical Institute in February 2011, Bulgaria’s population is approximately 7.36 million. Nearly 73% live in urban areas. The capital – Sofia – is by far the largest urban center having nearly 1.20 million inhabitants. Approximately 18% of the population is under the age of 19, while 63% is between the age of 20 and 64, and 19% is over the age of 65. Ethnic Bulgarians represent almost 85% of the population, while ethnic minorities of Turkish and Roma descent make up another 8.8% and 4.9% respectively according to statistics from the population census in 2011. Smaller ethnic groups in Bulgaria include Russian, Armenian and Jewish among others. Nearly 76% of the Bulgarian population is Eastern Orthodox Christian. Another 10% of the population state they are Islam. Catholicism and Judaism are also represented. Since 1990, the country’s net population growth has been negative (an average annual decrease of -0.7% was recorded for the period 2001 – 2011), in part as a result of significant outward migration, but also due to the country’s aging demographics. © 2015 KPMG Bulgaria OOD is a Bulgarian limited liability company and a member firm of the KPMG network of 13 independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. 14 | Investment in Bulgaria 2015 The trend of increase in the birth rate in the country in the period 2004 – 2009 reversed from 2010 onwards and the number of births cumulatively decreased by 17.7% in 2013 compared to 2009 levels further contributing to the decrease in the population. The country’s official language is Bulgarian. Secondary languages closely correspond to ethnic background. English, and to a lesser extent German and French, are used frequently in business. Infrastructure Roads and railways A network of international highways connects Bulgaria to Western Europe, Russia, Asia Minor, the Adriatic, the Aegean, and the Black Sea. The European corridors No. 4 (from Germany to Istanbul), No. 7 (Rhine, Main, and Danube), No. 8 (from Durres, Albania to Varna), No. 9 (from Helsinki, Finland to Alexandropoulos, Greece) and No. 10 (from Salzburg, Austria to Thessaloniki, Greece) pass through the territory of Bulgaria. According to the 2013 annual statistics published by

    Luxembourg, 05 February 2013 Environmental and Social Data Sheet Overview Project Name: MARITSA MOTORWAY (FL20060411) Project Number: 20110478 Country: BULGARIA Project Description: Construction of 65.62km new dual carriageway motorway between Plodovitova and Hermanli thus completing the motorway connection between Sofia and the Turkish border on TEN corridors IV and X. EIA required: yes 1 Project included in Carbon Footprint Exercise : no (Details for projects included are provided in section: “EIB Carbon Footprint Exercise”) Summary of Environmental and Social Assessment, including key issues and overall conclusion and recommendation The project is part of the SOP-T which was subject to a strategic environmental assessment following Bulgarian legislation in accordance with SEA Directive 2001/42/EC. The Environmental report was approved in February 21st, 2007. The project falls under the incidence of Annex I of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EC as amended, and therefore subject to an EIA. The assessment process began prior to accession of Bulgaria to EU in the ‘90s with a first positive decision issued on 1994. The assessment was subsequently revised and new positive decisions issued in 2000 and 2007. In 2010 a further assessment was done and a new decision was issued in conformity with local legislation that enacts the relevant European Directives, including in relation with the Natura 2000 network. The project passes in close vicinity of four and crosses three Natura 2000 sites. Following the adoption of specific mitigation measures, the residual impact is expected to be not significant, as confirmed also by the competent authority. Following the application of the mitigation measures, the project will have major residual negative impacts specific to this type of infrastructure project, namely land take, severance and noise.
