The European Commission stated on Thursday, the 16th, that the voluntary measures and promises made by digital platforms like the Chinese-owned Temu to combat the sale of illegal products in the EU are insufficient to protect consumers. During a public hearing at the European Parliament, the Commission highlighted that illegal or unsafe products continue to reappear on these platforms, indicating that current corrective actions are not systematic or effective. The Commission plans to improve coordination with national authorities and introduce new legislation by the end of the year to strengthen platform accountability. Meanwhile, a Temu representative claimed the company is committed to European standards, citing new measures such as a digital product passport.
