BCCI presented Trade Directory 2011

The Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce announced its 10th anniversary edition of “Bulgaria - Trade Directory 2011”.

The news conference held by Tsvetan Simenov, BCCI President, Mariana Kukusheva, President of the Council of Sectorial Organizations with BCCI and the team that compiled the directory triggered the interest of media representatives.

According to Mr.Tsvetan Simeonov the new edition of the Directory indicates that the economic activity has been growing and the listed companies have been checked repeatedly in the days before the printing.

We know from previous years that within two months or so one-tenth of the companies change some information. Now the information is not as dynamic but that is why BCCI maintains an electronic version that is accessible by subscription.

“There may be companies that have supplemented their information but these are not phantoms”- Mrs. Kukusheva said. “The list of branch organizations includes active members of ours who participate on advisory boards and are active on the market.”

The 10th anniversary edition of “Bulgaria - Trade Directory 2011” contains information about:

- More than 6200 legal entities, a substantial number of them being small and medium-sized enterprises from 324 sectors of industry;

- 28 regional chambers of commerce and industry united into a single system of Bulgarian Chambers of Commerce and Industry;

- 100 branch organizations members of the Council of Sectorial Organizations with BCCI;

- 32 joint chambers and councils with foreign participation;

- 62 industrial zones / parks in the Republic of Bulgaria with links to their information profiles published on BCCI’s website (in Bulgarian: http://www.bcci.bg/bulgarian/zones/ and in English: http://www.bcci.bg/zones/).

- Contact details of 32 governmental bodies and institutions.

We believe that in the current situation of increased competition on the domestic and international market, the new edition of the Trade Directory will be useful for the business, assisting and encouraging its activity and contacts with potential partners in the country and abroad, and will advertise Bulgarian goods and services.

The publication represents a unique opportunity for strategic "PR" and prestigious advertising. Traditionally, we disseminate it as a hard copy and an on-line version. It will reach 47 members of Eurochambres and through them to 1400 regional chambers. It will be sent to 200 World Trade Centres, more than 60 partner organizations (chambers, agencies, unions) from around the world, over 500 centres of the Enterprise Europe Network information and consultancy network. The publication will be granted to accredited diplomatic missions in Bulgaria and Bulgarian trade service offices abroad. It will be of use to leading business institutions, governmental organizations, universities, research institutes and libraries etc.

The information in the Directory is bilingual, presented in parallel in Bulgarian and English languages.
