On December 11, Bulgaria’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Kiril Vatev will participate at the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council Meeting in Brussels. The forum will discuss the European Commission's request for a general approach on the proposal for a regulation on plants obtained from certain new genomic techniques and their food and feed. Bulgaria believes that the latest texts presented by the Spanish Presidency very much answer the questions the country has raised in the discussions held so far. In this regard, the Republic of Bulgaria can support a common approach on the dossier, BTA reported.

A protest under the slogan "No new GMOs" was held on Sunday in front of the Council of Ministers. The protest was against the potential import of genetically modified products.
