Chain stores contest government decision to obligate them to sell Bulgarian products

Photo: library

The government ordinance, by force of which chain stores are obligated to sell Bulgarian produce from local producers, runs counter to Bulgarian and European law, engenders corruption and is unworkable.

This is the joint position of 4 international and 3 Bulgarian retail chains in the country. Their position reads that this measure will not boost the supply of Bulgarian commodities, but that the state is redistributing the market by giving an advantage to certain producers to the detriment of others. The retail chains cite as an example Bulgarian milk, which meets only 10% of the market demand and many producers will palm off foreign raw material as Bulgarian.
