Accessibility law in Romania: are you provably compliant?

Romanian fines are modest (up to RON 15,000, roughly €3,000), but the real risk lies in the complementary measures: suspension of the activity, withdrawal of the service or suspension/revocation of licences hit a web shop far harder than the fine itself.

  • In force: Act of July 2022, a few weeks past the EU deadline; obligations applicable since 28 June 2025.

Enforcement: what's happening now

Supervision is split across seven authorities, including ANPC (consumer protection, e-commerce among others), the Ministry of Economy, ANCOM (electronic communications), ADR (digitalisation), CNA (audiovisual), the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Competition Council. Beyond fines, they can order withdrawal/recall, suspension of the activity or suspension/revocation of licences. As of mid-2026 no publicly confirmed EAA fines or published inspection campaigns yet, enforcement is legally activated but not yet visibly documented in practice.

Romania transposed the EAA via LEGE nr. 232/2022, in force since 28 June 2025, with a multi-authority enforcement model: ANPC (consumer protection/products), ANCOM (telecoms) and CNA (audiovisual media); the ADR (Romanian Digitalization Authority) supervises public-sector site accessibility and publishes annual monitoring reports (norms set by Decision No. 815/2022). Sanctions range roughly 6,000-12,000 lei (and up to 15,000 lei in some cases). NO solid, citeable percentage of non-compliant private/e-commerce sites was found.

Cross-border trade

Selling to here from abroad?

The European Accessibility Act is market-based: if you sell products or services to consumers in this country, it applies to you, even if your business is established outside the EU.

Why this matters

Accessibility isn't a checkbox for a regulator, it decides whether roughly 1 in 6 people (WHO) can use your site at all. For them, an inaccessible store isn't a minor annoyance but a closed door. Fix the error in your own code and you remove that barrier and make your site cleaner for search engines, the same fix, double the gain.

Know where you stand, before the regulator does.
