Justice Minister: 75 Disciplinary Proceedings
Opened against Private Enforcement Agents in 2014,
55 Resolved
Sofia, May 29 (BTA) - Three private enforcement agents were
temporarily suspended in 2014, said Justice Minster Hristo
Ivanov during Friday's Question Time in Parliament. He was
responding to a question by socialist MP Maya Manolova. A group
of experts is reviewing thoroughly the private enforcement
service and is expected to come with proposals on how to improve
it within a month, said Ivanov.
Manolova cited the case of a woman from the southern town of
Kyustendil, earning the minimum wage, who had to pay 500 leva in
fees and expenses because of an overdue Internet payment of 20
leva. Of these, 200 were in fees for the private enforcement
agent.
In 2014, 525 checks were carried out of private enforcement
agents. Of these 138 were implemented by tax inspectors. In
2014, 75 disciplinary proceedings were opened against private
enforcement agents, 12 were instituted by the Bulgarian Chamber
of Private Enforcement Agents. Sixty proceedings have already
concluded and 55 have been resolved. LI/PP
