What the General Terms and Conditions cover
The full text is published in Bulgarian, which is the binding language under Art. 62d; the signed English translation is linked above
Below is an informational outline of what the document contains; it is not a translation and creates no rights or obligations of its own
Structure
Eighteen chapters, 81 articles: definitions and scope · conditions of membership · reporting and declarations · fees and prices · due date, invoicing and accounting corrections · irrevocability, export, dispatch and refund · waste oils, mixing, PCBs and operators · inspection and audit · information to competent authorities · contractual penalties and liability · rights and obligations of the organization · term and termination · confidentiality and personal data · electronic documents and evidence · force majeure · notices · amendment of the General Terms and Conditions · final provisions
The conditions a prospective member asks about first
- reporting period — one calendar month; the declaration is filed through Portal 2.0 by the 15th day of the following month;
- a nil declaration is required even when no oils were placed on the market;
- the General Terms and Conditions contain no numeric rates — the base contractual rate is set in the individual agreement (Art. 16(1)–(2)); the current base contractual rate and the contractual scale are on the Pricing and modulation page;
- the class is determined for the product, not for the customer, under the objective criteria of the approved Programme and the publicly disclosed tariff methodology, which are not contained in the terms themselves (Art. 16a);
- mixing waste oils in a way that impedes regeneration is prohibited, and the derogation for mixing hazardous waste is available only to an operator holding the relevant permit — not to a member;
- the member has an express right of immediate termination in listed cases, and a separate right to terminate if a rate is increased.
- late payment carries a contractual penalty of 0.1% of the overdue principal per calendar day, without notice, capped at 20% of that principal — and the organization owes the same rate, with the same cap, when it is late in refunding or in issuing the certificates it is required to issue;
Every one of these is stated in full, with its conditions and exceptions, in the binding Bulgarian text
Where this outline and the Bulgarian text differ, the Bulgarian text applies
Why the articles are not reproduced here
Until 30 September 2026 this page carried an English translation of edition EOR-OM-GTC-2026-2 — three editions behind the one in force
An independent legal review found more than twenty places where that text stated the opposite of the current rule, each time in the organization’s favour: silence on a correction request as a refusal rather than an approval, the rate depending on credit risk and volume, a three-year commitment instead of one year, an open-ended cap on contractual penalties, and no ceiling on rate increases
Fourteen articles were missing altogether, including the Methodology, the consultation on remuneration, the limitation of the organization’s liability, the member’s right of immediate termination and the language clause itself
A page that reads as a legal text but contradicts the one in force is worse than no page
The articles were therefore removed rather than patched
