Only texts that comply with European legislation will be adopted in the Biodiversity Act, chairwoman of the Committee on Environment and Water and GERB MP Ivelina Vasileva said.

The decision came after a series of mass protests by environmentalists across the country against planned amendments to the Biodiversity Act, which threatened nature preservation in Natura 2000 protected areas.
