If the new proposal of the BSP is approved, the general conditions under which the big hypermarkets in the country negotiate with their suppliers will be uploaded on the Internet.
The proposal also affects producers, who will be relieved by a clause according to which they do not have to pay hypermarkets for displaying their goods in their shop windows.
"Our goal is for the Bulgarian producer to be protected," said MP Cornelia Ninova, adding that it was high time the state intervened in trade relations between producers and hypermarkets.
Bulgarian production criticizes large retail chains, which have very high requirements, not allowing Bulgarian producers to offer their goods.
The hypermarkets denied that the retail chains in Bulgaria work unanimously, guaranteeing that each of them works according to its own rules.
The industry believes that state intervention is anti-market.
"Currently, there are practices of non-market treatment and we will try to eliminate them with this law," said Ninova, who did not agree that the state should stay away from relations between retail chains and Bulgarian producers.
The authorities also plan to eliminate a large part of the fees that producers have to pay to food chains.
In some of the local hypermarkets there are quite strange fees such as a birthday fee, which manufacturers are required to pay if they want their products to be offered in the store.
In some chains, the additional fees that producers have to pay are 17.
The food chains believe that the public publication of their contracts is unacceptable, because according to them, every store has the right to trade secrets.
"This will be a disastrous law for Bulgarian business and Bulgarian consumers. This is an atomic bomb with which the state is trying to kill a mosquito "- said the chairman of the Association for Modern Trade Yordan Mateev.
According to Cornelia Ninova, if the aggravating fees for producers are removed, it will reduce food prices, but hypermarkets say they will make them more expensive.
