Bulgarian lawmakers on Thursday agreed to procedural rules barring them from submitting bills that have no environmental impact assessment.

In case the draft legislation does not contain such assessment, it will not be sent to parliamentary committees and will therefore not make it further to Parliament's floor.

Up until now, the only required annex to bills had to contain motivation of proponents.

The impact will also be demanded for amendments put forward in between two readings of a bill.
