In Bulgaria, there are discriminatory measures against retailers, forcing them to favor local food products. This has been established by the European Commission and they have officially warned our country in a letter.
We remind you that the measure was introduced in response to the economic consequences for companies in our country by COVID-19. The objective was to stimulate local production.
The EC clarifies that Bulgarian legislation requires traders to prominently display and provide special outlets for local food products, as well as to purchase 90% of milk and milk products from local producers.
They add that this restricts the free movement of goods enshrined in the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, as it creates more favorable and competitive conditions for local food products, and this leads to discrimination against similar imported products. Bulgaria must reply to the Commission within one month. If you do not receive a satisfactory response, the Commission can send a reasoned opinion to our country.
