The EAA in Bulgaria
Bulgaria has written the European Accessibility Act into national law and the requirements are in force. Public enforcement activity has been limited so far, and published penalty figures are still emerging.
Penalties
What non-compliance can cost in Bulgaria
The maximum reported penalty in Bulgaria is Legal entities up to BGN 50,000 (≈ €25,600) — individuals up to BGN 20,000; higher on repeat (Чл. 73–89). Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Complaints & enforcement
How a complaint reaches a penalty in Bulgaria
Consumers and disability organizations file complaints with the relevant surveillance body; disability organizations and the Agency for People with Disabilities can bring collective injunctive actions.
Scope
Who must comply
The obligations are the same EU-wide: any business placing covered products or providing covered services to consumers in Bulgaria is in scope, including companies based outside the EU. Micro-enterprises are exempt for services only. See the full scope and exemptions on the overview.
