Sofia, July 19 (BTA) - The Bulgarian Industrial Capital
Association (BICA) has called for open dialogue on the
priorities and policies of the future government and next on its
 line-up. "We call for unifying efforts by all the parties
represented in Parliament and all MPs. We would like to recall
that the role of opposition is worthy when it criticizes using
arguments but doesn't undermine the governance of the country,"
the employer organization said in a statement circulated on
Monday, on the occasion of the convening of the 46th National
Assembly which is due to hold its inaugural sitting on July 21.

According to BICA, Bulgaria needs a legislature and a government
 designated through dialogue and not new elections because a new
 vote is unlikely to produce an entirely different structure in
Parliament. The majority of Bulgarians want a change in the
governance model and this can be seen from the two recent
elections. Bulgaria should not waste any more critically
precious time at a moment when Europe is making steps towards a
swift recovery and rehauling of its economy, the Association
argued.

BICA puts a priority on the good and stable business environment
 and conditions for development of entrepreneurship. It is
important to keep the well-working tax model, to continue
education reforms and speed up preparations for entry into the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the
border-free Schengen Area and the Eurozone, but not for the sake
 of mere membership but in terms of achieved benchmarks, the
organization said.

BICA expresses concern over the lack of consensus among the
political forces on the priorities especially in connection with
 the judicial reform, legal security and protection of property.
 According to the organization, there is no shared vision for
reforms in the energy and climate sector, as well as agreement
on key aspects of the pension reform such as the increase of
pensions and linking them to the contributory income. NV/PP
