Almost a year ago, European legislators decided to include the products of Bulgarian manufacturers of aromatic oils in the list of potentially dangerous allergens. According to Brussels, the essential oils contained in the damask rose can be hazardous to health.
However, the Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Food did not agree with this approach. Based on centuries of experience in the preparation of rose oil and with the support of the Prime Minister of the country, Bulgarian rose producers stood up for their products. Since the end of last year, consultations and debates of the parties have been going on. As a result, the European Commission made concessions and decided to study the issue further.
The Bulgarian rose has been rehabilitated for the next four years. During this time, additional studies of essential oils will be carried out depending on their concentration. In the meantime, the Committee of Permanent Representatives of the EU has allowed Bulgaria not to put any warning labels on products containing rose oil.
Bulgarian producers feared that such inscriptions could scare away buyers of rose oil, which is widely used in medicine, cosmetology and the food industry. It is the hallmark of the country. The name "Bulgarian Rose Oil" has been patented by the European Commission since 2014.
