Bulgarian supported Hungary in the country's decision for a temporary ban on the production, distribution, import and sale of genetically modified corn on its territory.

This position was presented today by the Bulgarian minsiter of environment and waters Dzhevdet Chakurov to the ambassador of Hungary in Bulgaria Mrs. Judith Lang during their meeting in MOEW.
 
Minister Chakurov pointed out that Bulgaria's position was approved on yesterday's decision of Council of ministers. Dzhevdet Chakurov will present it on the scheduled for 2nd March session in Brussels of the Council of the ministers of environment in EU, in which he is personally going to take part.

The Council is expected to take a decision regarding the temporary ban on the use and sale in Hungary of genetically modified corn.

The Bulgarian legislation is very conservative regarding the GN organisms, the society has negative thoughts towards these kind of products, pointed out minister Chakurov to Judith Lang.
           
The two officials agreed on experts from the ministries of environment of both countries to review the existing agreement for cooperation in the field of environment between Bulgaria and Hungary and to make suggestions for its updating. 

In addition, the cooperation regarding the preservation of the Danube river will also be intensified.
