The EC assessment Bulgaria's Convergence Program remains unofficial, Bulgaria's EU Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, Kristalina Georgieva confirms.
Georgieva spoke during a press conference Friday upon conclusion of her meeting with the speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament, Tsetska Tsacheva.
The European Commission submitted earlier its assessment about the country's Convergence Program and it has been discussed during the informal meeting of the EU finance ministers (ECOFIN) in Madrid last week, according to Georgieva, who added precisely because the forum had been informal, the assessment remains unofficial.
The Commissioner further explained that the EC position can be confirmed only during a formal meeting.
Georgieva's statement came in the aftermath of a controversy about what exactly happened in Madrid regarding Bulgaria's Convergence Program.
