Prime Minister Boyko Borisov announced that he would order the GERB parliamentary group to withdraw the bill calling for an increase in the excise duty on smokeless cigarettes as of 1 October 2018 and its alignment with that of ordinary cigarettes, according to the sole importer of heated sticks – Philip Morris will lead to a double rise in the price of their products

After Wednesday, WMDs opposed the higher taxation on smokeless items that the research allegations are less harmless than ordinary cigarettes, and he was asked to vote against Borisov, while leaving the plane in Thessaloniki where he is visiting, told reporters that he would order the suspension of the changes

"Besides the GERB, no one in the budget thinks," said the Prime Minister, that if the excise tax on heated cigarettes goes from BGN 152 to BGN 177 per kg of tobacco, the extra money will enter the state treasury 30 million.

"After we want to give the cigarettes after you want to give money from the cigarette budget, without smoke, it's a waste for the state budget." in practice, we will donate foreign companies that support the patriots, I ordered Tsvetanov to withdraw the law or not to be subjected to duties like other cigarettes, "said Borisov

. and right now we decide to do something for society and suddenly start "who, his mother, his aunt," is Philip Morris. Poor Bulgaria gives this money, "said the Prime Minister,

If those who criticize the bill, including the patriots, want to withdraw it, so be it, he added. [19659009] "I listened to the crap today. If the opposition is attacking us, it's understandable, I understand, but in this case, our coalition partners are talking too. I will only tell them that after 1-2 months we will start looking at the budget and come up with their huge demands, "he said," we will not be forever! But remember this – this animal populism is not going well. That's why we say clearly and precisely: The only thing I swear when I read, I could not believe in the morning, our goal was to fill our budget, so that we are now in a minus. The cost is one and a half billion more than the claims, and we are in a decline in recoverability. Agree, I accept it. If they bind us with someone, I will not do it, "said Borissov.

" The presidency is over, I will not let GERB become a tug on which no one working in the morning and going out and talking about us "Borisov to his coalition partner

" I would be very close-knit ", continued the Prime Minister.

GERB was the subject of fierce attacks Friday after have introduced excise tax changes on smokeless items and that is why they must be taxed as ordinary cigarettes, so Bulgaria will become the inhuman country in the world where harmful sticks are taxed like ordinary cigarettes and, according to badysts, this will lead to stopping innovative and smoke-free technology, and those who already use smokeless appliances will buy sticks from neighboring countries and thus the budget will be deprived of current incomes of heated cigarettes [19659006]The VMRO deputies, who said Wednesday that they would vote firmly in the plenary room against this proposal, were also opposed to the increase in excise duty

MP Alexander Sid and United Patriots – NFFS, Ataka and IMRO, told reporters that he was first supposed to agree with the United Patriot group and not be asked to sign the "part of the bill" room "

The European Commission, which is particularly strict in terms of excise duty policy, is considering a slightly different way, and it is precisely that these cigarettes are harmless and not as the Commission normally does, Alexander Sidi . In her words, this means that she gives a chance to this new product. In Bulgaria too, we should wait to see if there is evidence that these smokeless cigarettes are as harmful as conventional cigarettes, because otherwise there are doubts about our reason for being, has he commented. We find that these smokeless products have taken a significant market share and that this excise producer is immediately struck by the price of this product and that smokers return to conventional cigarettes, notes Sidie

. should look for a way to fill the treasure, but do not do it on the backs of Bulgarian citizens and health care, called Sidie. Speaking of benefits, let us see what the damage would be when we return conventional cigarettes to people who smoke this product, he said.

From "Volya", also think that we should wait for the excise duty cigarettes without smoke

We are for an appropriate taxation of conventional cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products, Dora Hristova comments journalists at the parliament. She noted that these products may not be eligible for traditional tobacco products for the time being, so the excise tax is more likely to be like loose tobacco

. middle of the year place to change the excise duty, why is waiting the new directive of the EC to give a specific opinion on the group to which they are clbadified, commented by "Will". They will wait for the debates in the parliamentary committees and then they will make the final decision to support the bill
