Deputy Minister Georgi Sabev and John Clark from the European Commission discussed the protection of Bulgarian agricultural products in free trade agreements with Australia, New Zealand, and China. The expectation is for the protected geographical indication "Bulgarian Rose Oil" to be recognized in these countries. Concerns were raised about the potential impact of an additional quota for duty-free New Zealand imports on Bulgarian sheep breeding. Bulgaria also hopes for the expansion of the agreement with China to include an additional 175 EU geographical indications within four years.
