The Movement for Rights and Freedoms will support GERB's proposal to end the derogation of Lukoil Neftohim for processing Russian crude as this is a matter of strategic importance for Bulgaria and Bulgarian citizens, co-chairman of the party's parliamentary group, Delyan Peevski, announced.

At a briefing at GERB's headquarters, the chairman of the parliamentary committee on energy, Delyan Dobrev, said that his party would submit the request to the National Assembly for the third time, as Lukoil is the only one that currently benefits from the derogation.

Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev commented that if a party proposed something different than the already adopted parliamentary decision to extend the derogation until October next year, this should be discussed. "The previous decision was made on the basis of extensive reports on what was possible to happen within a certain period of time," the minister recalled.
