European Commission sends formal notice to Bulgaria for non‑compliance with the Digital Services Act

The Commission issued a formal notice (INFR(2024)2241) to Bulgaria for failing to fully comply with the DSA, specifically for not designating and empowering the required Digital Services Coordinators. Bulgaria has two months to respond before the Commission may issue an additional reasoned opinion. The Commission also noted that Bulgaria's sanction regime does not fully respect the DSA's maximum fine limits or proportionality requirements.

Why it matters: The action highlights EU enforcement of the Digital Services Act and its impact on national enforcement frameworks and platform liability.
