Author(s): Maria Chankova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The state of the banking assets – in quantitative and qualitative terms – is essential for achieving a Banking Union, the creation of which aims at achieving more sustainable and integrated financial sector.

Роля на Кохезионния фонд във връзка със задълженията на България в областта на околната среда, произтичащи от Договора за присъединяване към ЕС

Author(s): Stoyan Neytchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This report provides a brief overview and analysis of the role of the Cohesion Fund in light of the country's obligations under both the EU Accession Treaty (following the agreed adjournments in the negotiation process) and the EU law. A summary review of the progress towards the implementation of the set performance indicators, the financial contribution of the EU through the Cohesion Fund, as well as the problems, prospects and consequences of the established low rates of implementation of infrastructure projects in the field of environment is conducted. The process of implementation and meeting the country's commitments under the Accession Treaty, as well as other applicable EU legislation, is characterized by its length and the necessity to utilize significant financial, technical and administrative resources. In view of the above, as well as the lack of significant experience in the implementation of such type (in terms of volume and scope) investment intentions puts Bulgaria in a situation where it is potentially impossible (partially or completely) to achieve the goals in the field of environmental protection and resulting consequences such as sanctions for non-compliance foreseen in the fundamental documents.

Международният трансфер на технологии в България след присъединяването към Европейския съюз

Author(s): Paskal Zhelev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The international flow of technological information and its successful integration into domestic production and management processes are essential for the ability of catching-up economies to compete on the global marketplace and to narrow the technological gaps they face compared to developed countries. Among the most important dynamic effects of regional economic integration is the enhanced possibility of technological transfer among participating countries. The European integration provides such an opportunity for the technological laggard Bulgaria. The objective of the paper is to provide an analysis of market-mediated international transfer of technology in Bulgaria following its EU accession through the following channels: foreign trade, foreign direct investment, licensing. The results show that the process of technological catching-up is not an automatic process and in the case of Bulgaria does not occur as expected given its EU membership.

Въздействието на международните цени на зърно върху българския зърнен пазар

Author(s): Anton Kostadinov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The first decade of the 21st century was accompanied by increased price volatility and price spikes in commodity markets. This caused a chain reaction in the world economy. The changes that took place had not only an economic but also a social dimension. Price volatility is expressed through the transfer of uncertainty from the financial sector to other sectors of the global economy. At the time of the collapse of the capital markets, commodities recorded record turnovers. New financial instruments have appeared to allow the avalanche-like increase in the positions of institutional speculators in commodity markets. In the short term, increased uncertainty is crucial for the price stability of the food. For example, through its impact mechanisms, climate change may cause another 115 million people worldwide to face chronic hunger and reach a total of more than 700 million people. For our country, the volatility of grain prices is of strategic importance.

Динамика и структура на териториалната кохезия в ЕС и България през периода 2007 – 2012 г.

Author(s): Neno Dimov,Kristina Minova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The territorial cohesion is a fundamental principle of regional policy among the EU countries. Cohesion, or cohesion in the socio-economic and environmental development of the countries of the community, is applied in order to limit and reduce territorial (spatial) inequalities, which always arise objectively in the course of natural and social dynamics. This problem has been identified as a priority for the EU since the early 1990s. The main objectives related to the territorial cohesion policy are: - How to use the strengths and weaknesses of each territory to make a qualitative transition to sustainable and balanced development (regional and national level)? - How to achieve effective territorial concentration of resources? - How to minimize the costs of land management, respectively in urban areas, rural areas and specific areas? In the last two decades, the socio-economic development of Bulgaria has been accompanied by growing regional inequalities - demographic, urban, economic, infrastructural. Despite the already performed assessments and evaluations, this tendency is deepening, which is accompanied by an increase in the costs of material and financial resources for territorial governance. Studies were conducted at a national level in the countries of Western and Central Europe, which revealed processes of increasing territorial disparities in the development and territorial organization of natural social systems. Therefore, for the period 2001-2011, in spite of the consistently pursued and targeted funding of territorial cohesion policy in the EU, the added value received is low, and for individual countries and regions - negative. Or in other words - the economic and social rifts in the community are widening. From these starting points, a comparative analysis of some key indicators for the EU and the statistical regions of NUTS-2 level classification was conducted.

Политики, клъстери и конкурентоспособност – 2007-2011

Author(s): Nikolay Kotzev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Six years after Bulgaria's accession to the EU, the competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy cannot make significant progress in terms of improving its position in comparison with other economies in the world. This has been going in parallel with the implementation of the largest program for stimulating Bulgarian competitiveness, which aims at government policies and priorities to be practically implemented in specific programs and projects. The question of why this is happening has many possible answers: from the late start of programs - to the inability to find the right companies and sectors. This report attempts to offer a new reading of the Bulgarian government's approach by outlining its main features that lead to a lack of sustainability and to the transmission of the positive effects of encouraging enterprises on the protection of their environment, which would lead to gradual clustering. The latter has acquired axiomatic power to achieve modern competitiveness.
