The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency and veterinarians are doing inventory of livestock animals in this country. Their purpose is to find out whether some farmers receive subsidies for non-existent animals. Such animals are registered with fake ear tags. According to the National Association of Sheep Breeders in Bulgaria, at least 30% of the Bulgarian sheep and goats exist virtually only. Bulgaria’s MEP Momchil Nekov contends that unscrupulous farmers absorb EU money through at least 300,000 non-existent animals which has negative impact on the real farmers. The Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Food promises that the check will obliterate all possible frauds this time.
