TI-BG appeals for the Bulgarian state to implement mechanisms for transparent and accountable management in the Energy sector based on the principles of Business Integrity.
На пресконференция в Българската телеграфна агенция (БТА), Асоциация „Прозрачност без граници“ заедно с Института за развитие и управление на ресурсите, Асоциацията за защита на потребителите, Българската национална асоциация „Активни потребители” заяви, че остава по-малко от седмица до влизането в сила на Регламент 2022/1854 на Съвета на ЕС, а в България няма разработени механизми за неговото прилагане.
According to this mechanism will be distributed funds to households, small and medium sized enterprises as well as big energy-consuming companies.
Mr. Kalin Slavov, executive director of TI-BG shared that these funds once taken from the energy producers become public and it is a state responsibility how and to whom will distribute them.
TI-BG anxiously reminds of lacking mechanism that will realize the distribution of these public funds, that will guarantee their transparent, accountable and effective distribution as well as information on its motives for it.
The Bulgarian government engaged with implementation of mechanisms for transparent and accountable business management in the National Anticorruption Strategy 2021-2027, as well as for good business integrity practices thus reducing management risks.
Good governance and funds management is possible only when the right policies have been accepted and put into effect, together with tools and standards for transparency, accountability and integrity.
This could be different categories and management systems for risks reduction. This risk could be corruption risk, as well as conflict of interests, ensuring competitive environment for goods and services providers.
Implementing good management standards will contribute for achieving energy security and overcoming the energy crisis. The integrity standards are a necessary tool to help the businesses mitigate the vulnerabilities they are facing.
TI-BG appealed to the Bulgarian state and the functioning legislative body to find the measures that will guarantee the Bulgarian citizens and business transparent and accountable expenditure of these finds.
