Being an area of free movement of “people, goods and capital”, EU gives both Bulgaria and Romania opportunities to improve their access to markets, as well as to attract more foreign direct and portfolio investments. The global economic crisis, that began two years after the two countries’ full EU accession, is likely to discontinue these advantages and to pose serious hardships to the ability of their economies to function in a crisis and reduced cash flows. The project “Comparative analisys of the Bulgarian and Romanian external sectors” is focused on studying the trends in the balance of payment of the two countries and its components in the light of Euro membership and under the conditions of an economic crisis. Its scope includes the key specifics of trade and capital flows as well as the correlations between them. The views on balancing the external sector are generalized and tools are identified to assess the trends in the balance of payment.

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.
