In our country, the Energy Committee in the parliament will consider on second reading the changes to the Investment Promotion Act, which regulates the sale of the assets of “Lukoil“, BNT specified.
The changes stipulate that the deal can only be implemented after approval first by the State Agency for National Security and then by the Council of Ministers. According to the submitters from GERB, BSP, ITN and DPS, this guarantees security for the country in the deal.
According to the opposition, this provides an opportunity for extortion of the potential investor.
On first reading, the changes were adopted by the majority vote, having previously passed through two committees in one day.
