“A new financial instrument should be put in place to protect farmers during crises,” said caretaker Minister of Agriculture Georgi Tahov at the Agriculture Council in Brussels. He added that Bulgaria supports the proposal by Croatia and Slovenia for intervention in the strategic plans under the Common Agricultural Policy so there is an ad hoc financial support mechanism in times of crisis, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports.
