With the votes of GERB-SDS, We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, the Parliament adopted amendments to the Regulations of the National Assembly and cancelled the rotating chairmanship of the Committee for Control of the Security Services, Use and Employment of Special Intelligence Means and Access to Data Under the Electronic Communications Act. Instead, there will be a permanent chairperson. 

The committee will no longer be composed on a parity basis, but will follow the model of the other permanent committees, adhering to the ratio between the numbers of the parliamentary groups.
