Sofia, June 6 (BTA) - The government has set up a working group to take action in
response to the sanctions imposed by the US Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC), the Council of Ministers' press office
said.

The working group includes representatives of the Ministry of
Interior, the Ministry of Finance, SANS and the National Revenue
 Agency (NRA). As a matter of urgency, it must establish and
maintain a list of individuals who fall and could potentially
fall within the scope of the OFAC sanctions.

Subject to the working group are all natural and legal persons,
identified by SANS and NRA in the course of their applied
permanent measures for the identification of persons connected
with individuals from the aforementioned list.

The list will be published and maintained on the websites of the
 Ministry of Finance and the NRA.

The Minister of Finance will monitor the activities of the
working group and will be responsible for the results of its
work to the government. Ministers and other executive bodies
will take immediate measures to make sure that administrations
and departments, state-owned enterprises, companies with state
and municipal participation and the companies they control, as
well as other persons, terminate their relations with the
persons on the list and not enter into new ones.

The government's decision was made in absentia on Friday.
