Does the CPC Enforce the Omnibus Price Rule in Bulgaria?
Omnibus DirectiveIn short, yes. Bulgaria’s Commission for Consumer Protection — the КЗП, or CPC — is the national authority responsible for consumer-protection rules, and that includes the price-reduction duties introduced by the EU Omnibus Directive. The Directive, (EU) 2019/2161, has applied since 28 May 2022 and is transposed into Bulgarian law, which the CPC supervises.
What the CPC is looking at
The headline duty is the 30-day rule: when you announce a price reduction, the prior price you compare against must be the lowest price you charged for that item in the 30 days beforehand. This exists to stop a price being briefly inflated so a later discount looks bigger than it is. The CPC oversees these consumer-protection obligations as the national authority.
What this means for your shop
- Keep a price history so you can show the lowest price of the previous 30 days for anything on sale.
- Display the correct prior price beside each reduced price, in Bulgarian for your Bulgarian customers.
- Treat the КЗП as your point of reference for how the rule is supervised in Bulgaria.
The rule itself is the same across the Union because it flows from the Omnibus Directive; what Bulgaria adds is the national implementing law, enforcement in Bulgarian, and the CPC as supervisor. For the wider picture, see our complete Omnibus guide.
