The success of the Bulgarian textile and clothing industry is attributed to several favorable factors. 65% to 95% of Bulgarian textile manufacturers are medium and small enterprises. The biggest characteristics of these enterprises are
Ø Flexible production; Quickly respond to changes in customer requirements;
Ø Prompt delivery; Quick response to requests for quality improvement.
The average wage of workers in Bulgaria's textile and garment industries is lower than in any other EU member State (including Romania), and labor costs are lower than in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Russia. It costs as much as Egypt, Mexico, as well as parts of eastern mainland China and Ukraine.

As a result, Bulgarian textile and clothing manufacturers enjoy a unique advantage in terms of labor costs to compete with their counterparts in mainland China.

Therefore, the goods can be delivered to the EU export market more quickly, reducing the delivery time and storage costs. Many of the environmental regulations imposed by the Bulgarian government are already the same as in other EU member states. So, yes
In the case of Bulgarian manufacturers, the current law will greatly facilitate their trade with European buyers. Such advantages are likely to attract potential investors to invest in the Bulgarian textiles and clothing industry who require strict implementation of HSE policies.
