- An exemption in Bulgaria: not yet published. Reason: Statute not fetched.
- Languages in Bulgaria: not yet published. Reason: Ecopack site offers Bulgarian and English; no statutory language rule found.

- The revenue basis in Bulgaria: not yet published. Reason: No revenue test verified.
How these updates are dated
Every change log is built from the verified records themselves, newest first, so each line has a source address and a retrieval date. The chart counts verified records as they were dated, and the table by date gives the same counts by day.
Some records carry a date from which they apply. That date comes from the source, not from us, and a date in the future means the rule is published but not yet in force. Bills are tracked separately from law: a bill creates no obligation, and its stage is recorded as of the date retrieved.
Each entry is dated by the day we retrieved its source, which is the day a person last confirmed the record against the primary document. It is not the date the rule changed. When a source changes, the record is re-verified and its date moves forward.
A record that is not yet published has no verified source. It is listed with the reason instead of a value, and it leaves that list the day a primary source is found. Subscribe to the feed to see entries as they are dated.
