PM proposes working group to offer solution for compensations in “Olympic” case

Prime Minister Boyko Borissov proposes a working group in Parliament, composed of experts from all political groups, to discuss and propose a solution as to how to compensate 200,000 Bulgarian citizens who left without third party liability coverage after the bankruptcy of the Cypriot insurance company "Olympic". Borisov made a statement in the plenary hall during the extraordinary sitting of the Parliament on 21^st of August..

Let the experts work, align the terms and agree what to do - where to get the money to compensate these 200,000 people, Borisov said.

The prime minister stressed that the Financial Supervision Commission (FSC) is an independent body and he has not interfered in their work. FSC is elected by the Parliament and is accountable to it, Borisov said. "I have not met Ralitsa Agayn or heard from her, no report has ever come to me," Borissov said. He added that yesterday he called the chairman of FSC, SANS, and the Minister of Finance for a meeting to understand what is happening in the sector.

The Prime Minister noted that there is a significant problem in insurance. "There are people with 300-400 vehicles insured- in Romania, Italy, Germany, Macedonia, Greece - with Bulgarian registration plates." Is it logical that 42% of the the road accidents in Romania to be with vehicles with Bulgarian plates? ", Borissov said.
