MPs of the 48th National Assembly decided to create a new standing parliamentary committee on constitutional issues. According to the chairman of the parliamentary group of GERB, Desislava Atanasova, the high workload of the Committee on Legal Affairs would be overcome by the creation of an additional committee on constitutional issues, in which all possible changes to the constitution would be discussed, if the National Assembly decided to make them.
The National Assembly is responsible for the composition of 16 state bodies in which a parliamentary quota exists. The National Assembly must elect chairman of the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission, governor of the BNB, the governor of the National Social Security Institute, and complete the composition of the Constitutional Court, the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Bureau for Control over Special Intelligence Means and others.
