MPs from Bulgarian ruling center-right GERB party have disclosed they are considering legislative amendments to make MPs register as companies to allow transparency on their spending.

The head of the Parliament administration Ivan Slavchov nevertheless explained that those expenses are anyway entered in the overall accounts of the National Assembly.
The political group of GERB in Parliament has not yet reached an official decision on the proposal, but MPs from other groups have commented that they largely see as unpurposeful.
