The committee for trade and consumer protection in Bulgaria will start a database with e-mails of people unwilling to receive commercial or spam messages.

This new regulation is listed in the draft project on e-trade, which the Parliament approved already, Darik radio reported.

All companies that fail to comply with the regulations will be fined. Fees vary between 200 and 4000 leva.

Everyone willing to enter an e-mail in the list has to send a message to the committee. The database will be created in the three months just after the new e-trade law starts functioning.

Committee member Georgi Dimitrov said it would be difficult to control spam sending, if the messages come from abroad. Providers will not pay fines, since foreign mail sending and movement control does not figure among their duties.

Internet service providers will comply with several regulations, guaranteeing the security of information.
