Currently,
there is no reason whatsoever to talk about imposing a safeguard clause
on Bulgaria or Romania in the field of agriculture, an unnamed aide of
the EU Agriculture Commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel told the Bulgarian
News Agency (BTA) on October 8, as quoted by Dnevnik daily newspaper.
“I am not saying that a safeguard
clause could be imposed on Bulgaria and Romania. I am not saying it
could not be imposed, too. All options are at hand. But, to claim that
there is even an idea on how this thing should be solved, is just not
right,” the source said.
The possible imposition of a safeguard
clause on Romania was first mentioned last week by the European Peoples
Party group chairman in the European Parliament, Joseph Daul. He said
that Romania was threatened by such a clause because it was not certain
that the EU funds were spent on achieving the goals they were extended
for.
speculating on a possible safeguard clause being forced on this country
because of its lack of preparedness to absorb the funds the EU extends
in support of Bulgaria’s agriculture.
Daul said such a thing. The European parliament does not deal with
imposing or not imposing safeguard clauses,” the source said.(LINK)
