Sofia. It is unacceptable that the Macron plan be again debated in plenary, a coalition of states opposed to the Road Alliance must be formed, MEP Peter Kouroumbashev, Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, told Focus Radio. “When something is rejected by the leading committee, the question is what text should be voted in plenary. We rejected the text of the rapporteurs on those proposals, and our proposals on their report were also rejected, so all the texts were rejected. Then what will be voted in plenary? The second question arising from parliamentary logic is that a bill that failed in the leading committee cannot enter plenary, otherwise what is the point of having the committee? Our third argument is that although one of the three proposals was passed, we had agreed in parliament that all three proposals should be considered together in a package, as some texts refer from one document to the other two,” said Kouroumbashev. He commented that Western countries were too self-confident and their proposals corresponded with scandal and protectionism. MEPs will support Bulgarian hauliers if they stay permanently in Brussels, the MEP added.
