We have agreed that there is no point in ending the derogation after seven days, because that could cause stress in the market," said Kiril Petkov, co-leader of the coalition "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB), after the parliamentary groups of GERB-SDS, PP-DB and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms met to discuss GERB's proposal to cancel Lukoil's exemption from importing Russian oil immediately, rather than waiting until October next year, as Parliament had previously decided.
In the words of Kiril Petkov, instead of focusing on the immediate abolition of the exemption, they will focus on the collection of taxes owed by the refinery.
"If Lukoil makes its legal payments, fuel will be 73 cents cheaper per litre for the end consumer," Delyan Dobrev, a GERB MP and chairman of Parliament's energy committee, said today.
