site.btaGovernment Terminates Early Concession for Harvesting of Vulnerable Herbal Species at Concessionaire's Request

At its regular meeting Wednesday, the Government adopted a decision of the pre-term termination of an agreement on the award of a concession for the harvesting of a vulnerable herbal species, snowflake (Leucojum aestivum L.) at the request of the concessionaire, Phyto Palauzovo AD. The object of the concession is a natural field of swamp snowflake, located in the Blatoto protected area, in the land-use area of the village of Palauzovo, Straldzha municipality, Yambol region (Southeast Bulgaria).  The agreement is terminated by mutual agreement due to a change in the characteristics of the concession site in 2021 and 2022 as a result of long periods of drought, which make it unsuitable for snowflake harvesting. 

Pre-term termination of the contract is admissible pursuant to the Concessions Act and is provided under the contract with the concessionaire.
