If the European "Green Deal" for climate neutrality by 2050 was accepted in its current form, the most affected sectors in Bulgaria will be transport and coal mining. About 90,000 to 150,000 jobs would be lost, president of the CITUB union, Plamen Dimitrov said.

According to the chairman of the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association Vasil Velev, metallurgy and heavy chemistry will lose from the "Green Deal" because they consume a significant amount of energy and its high price would make them noncompetitive. According to the Economic and Social Council, Bulgaria is one of the most affected countries in the EU in terms of future changes related to the Green Deal.
