The European Commission is offering a package of measures and a second tranche of financial aid to resolve the situation on the agricultural market in Bulgaria, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, Bulgaria's Ministry of Agriculture announced. The measures limit the import of 4 products from Ukraine and a list of goods that will be under surveillance and will be added to the ban if necessary. 

Talks with Brussels continue with the assurance that the final decision will be made within days with the agreement of all participants in the negotiations. 

The Ministry of Agriculture states that the emergency measures of the European Commission confirm the Bulgarian position on the need for Brussels' intervention to normalize the market in the most affected countries near Ukraine.
