The National Assembly tasked the Minister of Energy with taking actions to renegotiate the agreement between the Bulgarian state-owed natural gas supplier Bulgartransgaz and the Turkish energy company Botas, in order to protect the interests of the Bulgarian company and the country. The MPs also decided to send the report of the Ad Hoc Committee of Inquiry to the Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Office, the European Public Prosecutor's Office, the State Agency for National Security and other state institutions.
Only the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) voted against.
''Bulgarian citizens pay USD 486,000 a day under this contract, regardless of whether there are gas deliveries from Botas or not, BSP for Bulgaria MP Borislav Gutsanov said from the parliamentary rostrum. In his words, Bulgartransgaz has lost about 40% of its market share in the space of one year.
''The contract with Botas reveals two new key problems - it does not mention that the supplied gas must not be Russian. Secondly, the European Commission was not consulted on that deal", We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria MP Ivaylo Mirchev said for bTV.
