We delivered REFTEL to Deputy Minister of Transportation

Sector, America's Directorate on May 14. Deputy Minister
Nikiforova's office has reviewed REFTEL, and replied in a

any Global Maritime Partnership (GMP) activity aiming at
enhancement of maritime safety, security, and marine
environment protection. Nikoforova's letter also said that
as a EU member, Bulgaria's participation in any such activity
will be in the light of the EU integrated maritime policy and
based on EU common position.
