  • Уводна бележка

    Indicating the prices of goods in a store only in numerical terms, and without indicating that the prices are in Bulgarian levs, is a formal administrative violation, but it is a minor case and in this case, a property sanction should be imposed.

  • Факти

    In a grocery store, there is a sign that the prices are announced in Bulgarian levs. Next to each product is a sign with a price, which, indicates the value, however, without specifying that the price is in Bulgarian levs.

    The Consumer Protection Commission has imposed a property sanction on the trader for the fact that the currency, namely the Bulgarian lev, is not indicated on the price plates next to the goods.

  • Правен въпрос

    Is it admissible to impose a pecuniary sanction for violation of Art. 9, para. 1 of the Consumer Protection Act, when the prices in the commercial site are announced as a value, but it is not stated that they are in Bulgarian levs?

  • Решение

    The Court considers that there are circumstances in this case due to which there is a formal violation of the law, but since this is a minor case no pecuniary sanction should be imposed. Specifically, the Court considers the following:

    - There is a sign on the site stating that all prices are in Bulgarian levs

    - a plate with the digital value of the price is placed next to each product and the prices indicated in this way are correct

    - The store is located in a small village where there are no tourists and visitors are regular customers

    - Тhere is no probability that any of the consumers in the village will hesitate whether the announced prices are in BGN or in another currency

    - Тhe violation is the first violation of the commercial site and is eliminated immediately after its establishment
