The aim of this study is to outline guidelines and recommendations for the implementation of the commitments under the EU directives related to climate change and energy efficiency, contributing to prosperity of the market and its sustainable development based on an empirical study of the state of real estate market in Bulgaria. To achieve the goal the following tasks are defined: clarification of the EU strategy on energy efficiency; outlining the place and role of real estate buildings in the country's economy; the development of a model for professional management of residential real estate buildings as a product provided by real estate agencies, able to foster increased energy efficiency. The main research thesis is that improving energy efficiency in buildings is essential for the stabilization and sustainable development of the real estate market by offering long-term benefits for owners and users of real estate.

The main purpose of the present study is to identify possibilities for improving the management of renewable energy projects in Bulgaria. This goal is achieved by completing the following tasks – reviewing the characteristics of renewable energy project management as a factor of ecologically-oriented company policies; outlining the possibilities for improving management mechanisms of such projects within companies. The object of study is the renewable energy projects carried out in Bulgaria and in particular the possibilities for effective company management of photovoltaic parks. Special attention is paid to the possibilities for overcoming setbacks in the management of such projects regardless of the causes that have led to them. The study proposes a flexible model for managing renewable energy projects (photovoltaic parks) by companies as a way of implementing ecologically-oriented practices.

  PRODUCTION AND MARKETS OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS, FOODS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

  This paper aims to study and find out the problems in the production and markets for agricultural products in terms of genetically modified organisms and genetically modified foods. To achieve this aim the influencing factors, defined in the tasks, are identified. The scarcity of land as a resource, the global economic crisis, food security, ... This paper aims to study and find out the problems in the production and markets for agricultural products in terms of genetically modified organisms and genetically modified foods. To achieve this aim the influencing factors, defined in the tasks, are identified. The scarcity of land as a resource, the global economic crisis, food security, global famine and some other factors make it necessary to create species sustainable to natural and climatic conditions, on the one hand. On the other hand, the insufficient information about how safe species are in terms of production, distribution and use of genetically modified organisms and foods requires state intervention. The agricultural sector is a strategic sector that requires the application of well-grounded economic measures by the government for seeking ways to control and eliminate potential negative consequences in terms of providing normal conditions for the existence of humans, plants and animals and protection of environment.
