21 Nov 2024 „Техномат-Меркурий“ ЕООД, ТПКИ „Здравоход“ (Rechtsnachfolger ТПКИ „Комфорт“), „Кавалер Юнион 2001“ ЕООДWork shoe cartel in tenders – 2.75 million leva for three manufacturers €1.4m
The Комисия за защита на конкуренцията (Bulgarian Commission for the Protection of Competition, KZK) found that three suppliers had fixed prices and shared markets in public tenders by various contracting authorities for professional work shoes (Art. 15 ZZK – Bulgarian Protection of Competition Act, Art. 101 TFEU). Sanctions: 1,678,897 leva (Technomat-Merkuriy), 657,675 leva (disabled persons’ cooperative Zdravohod) and 409,424 leva (Kavaler Union 2001), a total of 2,745,996 leva. Appeals have been lodged against the decision.
Coordination on prices or on ‘who gets which contract’ is a hardcore cartel carrying a risk of millions, even among small niche suppliers.

19 Sep 2024 „Българиън Дрийм Травъл“ ЕООДBulgarian Dream Travel feigns experience with education fairs – 1,360 leva €695
The company gave universities and schools the impression of many years of experience with international education fairs and of supposedly upcoming tours, although it had not actually held any such events; in doing so, it relied on the relationships of the applicant SRT International. The Комисия за защита на конкуренцията (Bulgarian Commission for the Protection of Competition, KZK) regarded this conduct over more than one and a half years as seriously misleading (Art. 31 ZZK – Bulgarian Protection of Competition Act) and imposed 8% of 2023 turnover (17,000 leva), i.e. 1,360 leva, plus reimbursement of costs of 6,000.26 leva.
Micro-enterprises are also liable for references and claims of experience – borrowed success stories are misleading.
