Reforming Administrative Procedures in the Tourism, Food and Road Transportation Sectors in Bulgaria

The results of the alpha survey on
administrative barriers completed in 2006 indicate that,
notwithstanding recent government reforms to reduce
regulations affecting firms, administrative burdens are
still substantial impediments to doing business. Based on
the survey, the Bulgarian Government has commissioned an
in-depth analysis of the procedure affecting three sectors:
tourism, food, and transport. This report recommends the
efficiency of inspections should be evaluated and a
centralized inspection authority for foodstuffs and feed
should be considered. More work is needed to assess the
efficiency of the current inspection service.
