The Bulgarian product Pastarma Govezhda (dry cured beef) shall be listed on the European register of traditional specialities. The move has been approved by the European Commission, the Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry has said.

Pastarma Govezhda has specific characteristics and is made in a traditional way. 

By applying for registration of the name Bulgaria has not sought to protect the use of the very notion of pastarma / pastirma, because similar products are made in other countries too. The protection is confined only to Pastarma Govezhda.
