The complaint registered on 8 August 2007 relates to Article 13§1 (the right to social and medical assistance) alone or in conjunction with Article E (non discrimination) of the Revised European Social Charter. It is alleged that Bulgarian legislation as from 01/01/2008 will no longer ensure the right to adequate social assistance to unemployed persons without adequate resources. This will notably affect Roma and women.
