The portfolio of Mariya Gabriel, who resigned as Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth to join the Bulgarian government, has already been redistributed among other commissioners. Therefore, Bulgaria has the opportunity to negotiate another portfolio for itself, for example to jointly manage the energy portfolio with Estonia, MEP Tsvetelina Penkova from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament told BNR.

She recalled that Bulgaria has made two commitments under the Green Deal - phasing out coal-fired thermal power plants  by 2038 and reducing carbon emissions from electricity generation to 40% of 2019 levels by the end of 2025, which is difficult to achieve given the current shortage of key resources and raw materials. On the second commitment, Penkova said Bulgaria could renegotiate an extension of the deadline or a reduction in the percentage.
