Toll taxes for trucks of 3.5 to 12 tons in this country will be the lowest in Europe. For vehicles over 12 tons the tax will be equal to the European average. For buses the toll tax proposed equals the sum now paid in vignette fees, said Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Petya Avramova at the start of negotiations with hauilers over toll tariffs.
