Bulgaria lost the first BGN 3,6 M financing for milk and milk production, which the country had to receive as subsidies from the European Union, the Bulgarian National Radio reported Wednesday.
The EU milk subsidies for 2008 will also be lost, because the Labour Ministry and the Social Assistance Agency in the country cannot reach consensus on the issue, CEO of the State Agriculture Fund Dimitar Tadarakov warned.
The Agriculture Find cannot be blamed for loss of the funds, as its job is only to inform and has no other rights, Tadarakov added.
