Parliament Starts Autumn Session

Sofia, September 2 (BTA) - The National Assembly opened its
autumn session Wednesday amid expectations for passions to run
high in the debating chamber with local elections less than two
months away.

In his opening remarks, Deputy Chair Dimiter Glavchev expressed
hope that the MPs will be efficient in their work of legislating
 to the best of the public interest.

On GERB's proposal, the agenda of the first sitting is topped by
 second-reading debates on a bill on pre-school and school
education. Next is a Socialist proposal for revisions in the
Natural Persons' Taxation Act.

Question time with the participation of the Prime Minister and
his deputies is scheduled to start at noon.

The week's programme also includes first-reading debates on a
bill on the prevention of corruption of persons holding senior
public positions and a bill on the enforcement of the Cluster
Munitions and the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.
