Society for Territorial and Environmental Prosperity (STEP), Bulgaria
Bulgaria has lost around 40% of its High Nature Value farmlands since 2007. Rather than having an in-depth analysis of the reasons behind this negative trend, the Ministry of Agriculture proposed deletion of all existing support in breach of the ‘no backsliding principle’ for the CAP Strategic plans.
CAP Strategic Plan in Bulgaria: State of Play
In March 2021, Bulgaria has already presented a significant part of the proposed interventions under its future CAP Strategic Plan. The documents sent to the members of the official Thematic working group on CAP 2021-2027 are also posted on the specific webpage of the Ministry of Agriculture, so that all interested stakeholders can submit their comments, proposals or other positions.
