In 2020, Bulgaria reports a double decline in the incidence of African swine fever in animals as compared to 2019. This was stated by Bulgaria's Minister of Agriculture Desislava Taneva at a video conference of EU agriculture ministers, the ministry announced. She stressed that Bulgaria joined the position of the Czech Republic and Poland on reducing the administrative burden associated with co-financing the costs related to coping with the disease.
Taneva has demanded that EU Member States should be able to partially apply the stamping out method which means that when a sick animal is found, it should be destroyed together with the animals that have been in contact with it only within the area of ​​the respective farm where the infection was found.
