Bulgaria will ask the European Commission for permission to import duty free grain from EU member states, 24 hours daily reported.
The aim is to stop the rising prices of the grain and to prevent a grain crisis, as the yield in the country this year will be very poor because of the continued drought.
The measure is one of the several that were elaborated Wednesday by the government commission dealing with prices.
The commission was summoned by Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev.
The commission decided to make a proposal in the parliament for the import of grain from Ukraine and South America.
