Bulgaria requested the activation of funds from the agricultural reserve of the European Union due to the damage caused by the drought and the fires.
In front of his European colleagues at a forum in Budapest, the Minister of Agriculture, Georgi Tahov, pointed out that in July and August in our country, drought and fires destroyed animals, bee colonies and hives, animal feed, machinery, agricultural equipment and homes, writes bTV.
“For Bulgaria, adequate protection in trade in agricultural goods with third countries is key to preserving the place and future of sustainable agricultural production within the EU,” said Minister Takhov.
He recalled the position presented by him at the regular meeting of the Council in May, in which intensive import of fresh chicken eggs for consumption in the Republic of Bulgaria from Ukraine from the beginning of 2024 was reported.
In this regard, Bulgaria sent a written request to the Commission to activate a protective mechanism for Bulgarian egg producers due to the observed negative market trends as a result of imports from Ukraine.
