The entire country is now ready for the Food Agency to begin functioning in Bulgaria, Agriculture Minister, Miroslav Naydenov, informed Friday.
The decision to establish the agency was made by the cabinet on November 3, 2010, with the approval of the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency Bill.
The project includes transforming the National Veterinary Service, the National Plant Protection Service, the National Grain and Grain Products Service, and the part of the public health body RIOKOZ dealing with food safety, into a sole entity – Bulgarian Agency for Food Safety.
The move will also reduce the staff roaster by 400 employees due to the scaling down of departments with doubling functions.
The agency will have 28 regional centers around the country.
