Ambassador’s Report

My main goal as the GHI Ambassador for Bulgaria is to participating in and representing GHI at local conferences, including organizing sessions or GHI general meetings, giving presentations, contribute GHI materials to tabletop/exhibit booths. Sharing and disseminating information about change in legislation and new data concerning food safety, nutrition, functional food and health. GHI publications and Writing reviews on GHI books, such as “Ensuring Global Food Safety: Exploring Global Harmonization”

bring the ideas and objectives of GHI to Bulgarian stakeholders – scientists, educating, regulatory and control authorities, business and consumers, and to encourage their participation in the Initiative, so that Bulgaria implements the results of GHI activities in its policies and regulations. I am committed to dedicate my efforts towards making all stakeholders realize the need for harmonization and to motivate their actions into this direction.
As part of the European Union and the “global village,” Bulgaria is striving to update its food legislation. Currently, the Bulgarian Food law is being revised, and a new Food Chain Law is under development. As a member of the two groups working on these tasks, I think it is extremely important to bring GHI principles into the elaboration of the new legislation documents.
