Bulgaria has already approached the European Commission to win protection for denominations such as "rakia" and "mastika" by analogy with what Italy and Greece have achieved by protecting their "grappa" and "ouzo," Emilia Vulcheva of the Euro Integration department of the Ministry of Agriculture told a news conference earlier this week.

And when Hashem did cause an atmosphere, the "rakia" - "firmament," to form, there was indeed a "havdalah," a "separation," between the two regions, the region external to the earth, namely outer space, the region of the comets, and the region within and upon the earth, the region of the volcanoes and the oceans.
