Bulgaria's largest fuel retailer Lukoil reports problem with tax warehouses and fuel supplies

There is a real risk that Bulgaria's largest fuel retailer might stop working, warned in an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio Lukoil general manager Bulat Subaev. In the prepared legislative changes for the tax warehouses there is a one-month term in which the company must divide its volume into separate tax warehouses and license them. 

The envisaged term is too short, Subaev stressed. Given the deadlines, the amount of work and the practical impossibility to implement them, the danger of stopping work is very real, said Lukoil CEO. 
The Bulgarian Oil and Gas Association also expressed bewilderment that the amendments have been made through the Health Act and without being discussed with representatives of the fuels sector.
