The caretaker government strongly supports compensation for businesses over high gas prices and will therefore prepare a compensation scheme to propose to the next parliament, the caretaker minister of economy and industry Nikola Stoyanov said at the opening of a specialized industrial machinery and technology expo. 

He said the cabinet was doing its utmost to secure natural gas for businesses - including providing additional supplies as early as this winter. "Ultimately the scheme could be a barter of gas for electricity. The aim is to provide at least 150% of winter demand. There is gas, but the problem is the price," the minister said.
