Vouchers for transport, instead of a fuel discount, to be able to be used by citizens with incomes below the maximum insurance threshold, will be the most likely criterion for spending the funds collected in the "Security of the Electric Power System" fund from the contributions of Russian crude oil processors in Bulgaria: This was explained to journalists in the parliament by the chairman of the energy commission, Delyan Dobrev

Delyan Dobrev is the Deputy Minister of the Economy, Energy and Tourism (department: after the National Assembly adopted in the second reading the Law on compensation of the costs of transport users. The importers are GERB-SDS

The Union of Democratic Forces (SDS) is a Bulgarian right-wing political party, the successor of.

The voted texts state that the companies in question will make a contribution of 70 percent on the difference between the prices of the "Brent" and "Urals" varieties.

Now we say that the state will take 70 percent of this difference, even before taxation, explained Dobrev.

This will generate revenues in the fund worth approximately BGN two billion, the chairman of the energy commission pointed out.

That is, he estimated, if BGN 3 billion is the excess profit of "Lukoil Neftohim Burgas" at the moment and of the group of companies that are registered in Switzerland, the Netherlands, etc., the state will collect 70 percent of this amount in the fund for energy security.

This is the revenue part, this is how we will collect the money, he emphasized.

And the Council of Ministers will determine with an ordinance how the collected contributions will be spent.

The idea is to target the funds, and the most likely criterion will be that people above the maximum insurance income of a family member, which for this year is BGN 3,400, will not be subject to assistance, explained Dobrev.

For all the others, there will be support, which, if we divide this huge amount of BGN 2 billion by the number of drivers, it turns out that each driver will receive about BGN 1,000 per year, the deputy added.

The MPs decided that the excess profit from the sale of fuels from Russian oil should be taxed

The law also gave an opportunity for people who do not have cars, but wish to use a fuel discount, to be able to receive other vouchers, for example, for public transport, explained Delyan Dobrev
