Bulgaria PM Boyko Borisov has slammed the former tri-partite government over problems with the Interagency Council for mobilization of the country and the military-industrial complex.

After BSP MP Kornelia Ninova questioned him on why the Interagency Council has not worked for 7 months since the governing center-right GERB party came to power, Borisov replied that the Council had been damaged by poor management from the previous government.

Borisov explained that a government decree of 23 December 2009 changed the structural composition of the Council board and that the first meeting of the Council was held on 29 January in which 28 applications for licenses to import, export and transfer arms were looked at.

Borisov added that the archives of the Council do not show any action in areas of its responsibility including preparing the mobilization readiness of the Council of Ministers, after it was reduced by the ex tri-partite government into a body for issuing licenses and permits.

He concluded that the Council’s web-site would now be launched and will contain full details of all arms licenses and permits, and trade/transfer of arms. Borisov concluded that the register was not properly updated by the ex-government.
