In reference with the BSP accusations about firewood sale at Sofia Stock Exchange, Ministry of Agriculture makes the following statement: Minister of Agriculture and Food Dr. Miroslav Naydenov had a talk with the CEO of SCE Vasil Simov and asked an inspection to be carried out why wood was sold with wood specification for firewood.
Minister of Agriculture and Food Miroslav Naydenov refuted the accusations of the Bulgarian Socialist Party This was not firewood. I talked with Mr Simov, since under the regulation, we can sell at the Sofia Commodity Exchange only round construction wood and technological wood. The information that came from the Commodity Exchange is that out of the 158,000 cubic meters some 2,600 cubic meters are firewood, but no, it is not wood. This is technological wood, which is left from the production of firewood. The workers at the Sofia Commodity Exchange have misunderstood and have provided wrong information. Mr Simov undertook the engagement to make a statement,” Naydenov remarked.
