Unlike other Eastern European countries joining the EU, Bulgaria had not requested additional time for meat and dairy producers to raise health standards to those required in other member states.
However, food inspectors found Bulgarian standards wanting, sparking a near-comprehensive export ban. This, however, has now been lifted, although 378 meat and 208 milk producers cannot sell into the EU without demonstrating adequate health improvements by December 2009.
Meanwhile, Bulgarian meat and dairy products will “carry a specific mark” said the committee.
