Once the Recovery and Resilience Plan of a country has been approved by the member states, changes to it can only be requested in exceptional cases and when the country shows that it cannot fulfill part of it due to objective circumstances.

This is what a spokesperson of the European Commission said in response to a question about the decision of the National Assembly on January 12, which obliged the government to renegotiate the plan in the "Energy" sector in order to drop Bulgaria's commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by the end of 2025 compared to 2019 and to ensure continued operation of the Maritsa East Energy Complex without restrictions until 2038.

It was pointed out that Bulgaria's request for renegotiation has not yet been received in the Commission.
