Bulgaria-specific requirements
Bulgaria has been investing in digital transformation through its national e-Government strategy and the State e-Government Agency (SEGA). The Commission for Consumer Protection (CPC) is an experienced enforcement body with broad market surveillance powers. Bulgaria's growing IT sector, particularly in Sofia, means that an increasing number of domestic companies are developing digital products and services that fall within EAA scope. Bulgaria's Law on Persons with Disabilities (2019) provides the broader disability rights framework, and the EAA transposition adds specific product and service accessibility requirements. The relatively lower cost of compliance services in Bulgaria compared to Western European member states may facilitate adoption.
