Bulgaria calls on the EU to focus on lagging regions

Photo: library

Bulgaria keeps its position that cohesion policy should be a priority in the Multiannual Financial Framework of the European Union for the period 2021-2027. This was decided by the government’s council on European affairs. Bulgaria says that the focus should be on the poorest and lagging regions and that the least developed regions in Bulgaria should receive additional support to counteract negative demographic trends, poverty and to reduce disparities with other regions. When it comes to the common agricultural policy, this country sees the existence of large differences in the average levels of direct payments in the individual Member States as unjustified, provided that farmers have to fulfill the same requirements.
