Experience of the supervisory body at the moment shows that the sanctions imposed on producers and traders at the moment do not correspond to the degree of danger in committing a certain violation, the minister added. He noted that breaching the Ordinance for specific requirements on dairy products might be punished with a sanction of up to BGN 100,000.
Minister Naydenov said that the bill sets down the requirements for transportation of food and for the registration of the transport vehicles.
