The amendments submitted by GERB-SDS were approved with 105 votes "for", 42 "against" and 19 "abstentions".

The bill introduces an obligation to implement corruption risk management systems in state-owned enterprises in implementation of a recommendation by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and as part of the measures provided for in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
