site.btaOnly GERB-UDF Has Detailed Programme for Forestry Sector, Says Top-of-the-List Candidate Taneva

GERB-UDF top-of-the-list candidate in Sliven and former Minister of Agriculture Desislava Taneva said Friday that it is extremely important that a regular cabinet is formed, as it will protect the state and the national interest in the debate on the common agricultural policy of the EU from 2027, which also includes the forestry sector.

Taneva took part in a round table about forests, landscape and the economy, which took place in Veliko Tarnovo. At the event it was stressed that in the last three years, the forestry sector in Bulgaria has been in its worst condition for decades, as wood processing companies are going bankrupt en masse. It was also pointed out that incompetent legislative decisions, frequent changes of caretaker governments and populist policies lead to the sector's stagnation. 

The round table was also attended by GERB leader Boyko Borisov and UDF leader Rumen Hristov, as well as former Deputy Health Minister Georgi Kostov and representatives of state forestry farms, logging and wood processing enterprises.
