MPs are debating changes to the Excise Duties and Tax Warehouses Act today and will vote on them at first reading. The bill brings in a new excise duty on powerful cars and bans the sale of homemade rakia.

The text was presented to parliament on Wednesday, but with no debate or vote.

Today's sitting opened with a statement by Vazrazhdane against merging the Executive Forest Agency with the Executive Agency for Fisheries and Aquaculture.

The budget and finance committee backed the changes at first reading on 10 November, with 13 votes in favour, 9 against and no abstentions.
