The Ministry of Regional Development proposed that 5 big companies operating in the field of geodesy and cartography should be included in the forbidden list for privatization, since they are related to the state's national security. Among these companies are Geoplanproject, Geodesy - Plovdiv and Kartographska Fabrika, where the military maps are printed. This was stated by the Director of Management and Restructuring of the State Property Department Mr. Anastas Zahariev. Currently, the forbidden list for privatization includes the names of a total of 38 companies.
