At a round table at the National Assembly, fishermen, environmentalists, hotel and restaurant operators called on MPs to withdraw the draft bill on energy from renewable sources in maritime spaces which has been adopted at first reading.
The chairman of the parliamentary energy committee Delyan Dobrev stated that until all views have been reviewed there will be no discussion of the texts by the committee at second reading.
