The preliminary program of the deputies provides for the first reading of the Consumer Protection Act. It defines the regulation for the seizure of dangerous products and the provision of legal protection to consumers in this case.

The fine, for example, for placing on the market a product that is not accompanied by instructions and information in Bulgarian is up to BGN 1,500 for sole traders and up to BGN 5,000 for legal entities.

Fines of up to BGN 30,000 are envisaged for failure to comply with product safety regulations.

The Consumer Protection Act is the link to the European system for the exchange of information on dangerous products.
