The ban will cover a one-month period. An obligation is imposed on holders of authorised products to maintain a reserve of up to 10%. An expert council with the Bulgarian Drug Association will be drawing up lists of the products prohibited for export. Companies that breach the export ban will be fined BGN 50 to 100 thousand, and if they commit the same violation again - by a fine of BGN 100 thousand to 150 thousand.
